Hey kids with your haircuts
I hear the Swiss are raising despots
But so is New York too
I guess at least it's something new
The football's with the crazy man
Who doesn't understand how to do what he's planned
One of them deranged
The other harangued
We'll be alright
By the light of a nuclear fire
Two steps to a hydrogen bomb
Building it is easy deliverys the prob
The other guys been tweeting
While maybe only fleeting
It isn't what you want from inside the briefings
The clocks rocking at the EMP greeting (DRINK)
Couldn't call this stupid but this isn't what we're meaning
Think your electronics is the worst of what we're preaching
Duck and Cover isn't a strategy
I'm gonna try to have a little faith
That the rest of us humans would Stop them in place
If their fat sticky fingers strayed a little long
On the big red button while singing along...
We'll be alright
By the light of a nuclear fire

My first reaction on being given the polls
Is to draw a mental list of the people I know
Cross off those names
Who think it's a shame
My second inclination is to policy wonk
Got our education in a bit of a funk
Plug up those holes
Build some new proles
But despite this it's something
Even if we are fighting
Want an effect from voting
Better get started building
Proles MkIV
While policy makers widely recognise the fact that education serves as an engine for economic growth through the accumulation of human capital, education is also strongly associated with boosting levels of social capital. Indeed, it is an important justification for the large expenditures on education within many democracies.
Its not what you know
Its who you know
Its not what you know
Its who they know
Its not what you know
Its who you know
Its not what you know
Its where you go
Its not what you know
Its not what you know
When building trolls

Jerome is living the deck life
This strife is putting his mind right
Tight despite this mild respite
And he's till pissed about Poi E
He wonders
Where bees go
When Oprah
Is a no show
And now we're getting the highlights
Lived life living as a soundbite
Insight, Spite will ignight
And he still doesn't get Foucault
Mud caked soldier crying in the rain
Is the new old man shouting at the clouds
A signifier without a signified is just noise.

Billy Moose is talking to me
His eyes are bright, his face is strong
He's saying something odd about our setlist
All I see is his beards grown long
And here comes Darren, or is that one Daryl
There's two of one and one of them too
I think I'll be hanging with these fella's
Not going to be leaving 'till we finish the tunes
Skwish me into a Crystaline Settee
Maybe sing some Minerals out
We got a Dog Dyed Black for the neighbours
But it was stolen by the Whores Next Door
Now I'm not your Uncle Dad
Though at times it may feel that way
I'm gonna be a Duke of Leisure
This Idle Faction is stationary

The K1500 Project Wellington, New Zealand
Lazily motivated and generically inspired. Failed musician who just can't give this shit up.
My ambition is to be taken over by the world.

This Dunedin band go for a downbeat, scruffy indie rock sound on their latest.

In The Marigolds
by Jim Nothing
Slashing and hooky, this LP of guitar-driven pop is just as heavy on scuzzy riffs as it is on beatific harmonies.
