142.46.8.6:

Song ideas: 

*Duuhhh Pancakes? -- WTF? 
*Bring on the Chicks -- Seemingly sketchy country metal song that's really about Ben and his chickens 
*Pie -- A guy's girlfriend dumps him for pie. How sad. 
*Nevik Houzanou Is Completely Wrong About Absolutely Everything -- Not ezackly much to esplain there. Should probly be an instrumental. Maybe a reprise of "Duuhhh Pancakes". 
*1,000,000 -- Cover of the NIN song. It's easy and legal, as long as we don't sell it.
*Master of Pancakes -- Based indirectly on Zimmy's roommate, who makes pancakes a lot. Whether or not it's a direct parody of the Metallica song has yet to be decided.
*Guitar Hero -- A song about how pathetic those people are who spend an obscene amount of time playing Guitar Hero and get really good at it but can't play a real guitar to save their lives.
*'Mental -- Heh, I like the name. It's an abbreviaysh of "instrumental". Geddit?

Old ideas to use: 

*Sacajewa on Fire 
*Metal Happy Birthday 
*Andrew

Other tentative ideas: 

*Gloria Patri -- Recurring chant, sung by Zimmy with a different type of food in his mouth each time. 
*Mad World -- Cover of the song Gary Jules made famous
*I'm the Juggernaut, Fool! -- Who knows? 
*A song about Bosch. In fact, we should do a song about a weird painter for every album.

*Death to the Infidels, or The Ballad of Muslim Zack -- A fanatical Muslim's escapades are described like he's an Old West gunslinger. Perhaps including a brief segment of the chorus to "Back to the Abacus" except with the phrase "Death - to - the in-fidels..."

===Verse 1===

Ben's goin' out to the girls tonight 
Gonna make sure they're feelin' all right 
Black as pitch but he knows his way 
The red light glowin' will show him the way 

===Chorus===

Bring on the chicks 
Bring on the chicks 
Bring on the chicks 
It's how he gets his kicks 

===Verse 2===

Steps inside and the welcome's warm 
Those girls have seen him plenty before 
'Cause they got somethin' Ben really needs 
And until he gets it he ain't gonna leave 

===[CHORUS]===

===Verse 3===

He's gotta feel around 'fore he finds his stuff 
Them girls all cluckin' 'cause he handles 'em rough 
They'll put up a fight, but he don't care 
He'll find what he wants somehow somewhere 

===[CHORUS]===

===Verse 4===

Now once he's finished, like it or not 
And he's taken all those girls have got 
He'll hit the road, but don't y'girls cry 
He'll be back tomorrow for another good time

==Lyrics==

=== Verse 1 ===

It used to be a churchhouse 
But the crowds just wouldn't come 
They remade it into a cinema 
Because that's way more fun

The faithful moviegoers 
All sit quietly in the pews 
Their altar now a screen to which they 
Have unclouded views

'Tis true the cinema is church 
That worships unknown gods 
The public offers body and soul 
To its unholy cause

=== Verse 2 ===

The mass begins, the cup is passed 
At the concession stand 
Silent all, they eat and drink 
But do not understand

And all the while, the flickering screen 
A sermon will impart 
Not with words, but images 
That latch onto the heart

'Tis true the cinema's church 
That captivates the mind 
Emotions take the forefront 
As all thoughts are left behind

=== Verse 3 ===

When the final chant is done 
And light fills room entire 
The congregation stumbles out 
Unaware of what's transpired

They didn't see that this was church 
They watched to be diverted 
But heeding to the altar call 
They all have been converted

'Tis true the cinema's church 
Its all-controlling spell 
Invades the heart and shows itself 
In daily life as well

=== Verse 4 ===

The priest picks up a Super 8 
And turns the camera on 
He points it at the world around 
A new day now has dawned

Images on strips of film 
That don't bypass the mind 
Confrontational and strange 
No one has seen their kind

'Tis true the cinema's church 
That speaks unto the soul 
Our thoughts provoked, it presses us 
Towards a higher goal

'Tis true the cinema is church 
Made to the Unknown God 
Filmmakers offer body and soul 
To this, a holy cause

142.46.8.6: /* Verse 3 */

== Lyrics ==

=== Verse 1 ===
Fried eggs on a china plate 
Spin off into empty space 
Towards a moon that's made of cheese 
And sails upon the seven seas

=== Chorus ===
An overdose of Dali 
An overdose of Dali 
An overdose of Dali 
It's freakin' me out 
An overdose of Dali 
An overdose of Dali 
An overdose of Dali 
It's makin' me doubt

=== Verse 2 ===
There is a city on a hill 
I see it from my windowsill 
It floats high up above the beach 
But there's nothing underneath

The clocks begin to twist and melt 
Time turns back upon itself 
Spindly-legged elephants 
Trample swarms of tiny ants

=== Verse 3 ===
The earth begins to shake and crack 
From it the newborn child is hatched 
Has he come to save mankind? 
Or is he from the Devil's mind?

Christ, the King of the Jews 
Suspended on a hypercube 
I look on him and see his pain 
It screams inside my squirming brain

Hey there all you companies 
I'm a big old bear and I'm coming to town 
You all better think of something to do 
Or I'll make your stock come crashing down

'Cause I'm a bear 

Hey there all you aging folk 
Forget about early retirement 
Your fancy shares won't do you no good 
I made 'em drop 200 percent

'Cause I'm a bear 

Hey there Mr. Economy 
I'd say your time's about to end 
You were built on shaky ground and now 
There's a new Depression coming 'round the bend

Ragnarok

2008-07-09T02:14:58Z

142.46.8.6:

=== Verse 1 ===

A world built on honour, when lies are spoken 
Will surely fall, and Odin's word is broken 
It's not the first, for Fenris was deceived 
When he was bound, the gods' lie he believed

And Loki now is punished for his sin 
Though it be against the word of Odin 
The cock of Asgard crows to the hawk of Hel 
The earth cracks open, hear the tolling bell

=== CHORUS ===

It's the Day of Wrath 
It's here, it's Ragnarök 
Götterdämmerung 
The Twilight of the Gods

=== Verse 2 ===

All fetters break, the Wolf is bound no more 
The champions of Valhalla mass for war 
For trolls and jotuns march against Asgard 
Odin leads the gods to fight them hard

With steps enormous, Thor falls on his foes 
And fells a hundred with fierce hammer blows 
But now the Midgard's Serpent crawls up on land 
His brother Fenris too is close at hand

=== [CHORUS] ===

=== Verse 3 ===

Out of the north the Nagelfar swiftly sails 
Its hull made out of dead men's fingernails 
And at the rudder Loki grimly stands 
He seeks revenge and soon will have his chance

The deaf'ning roar of death splits ope the sky 
And from the gap comes ruler of Muspelheim 
His name is Surt, soot-black, with flaming sword 
Behind him surges his vast demonic horde

=== [CHORUS] ===

=== Verse 4 ===

The Aesir clash with jotuns, trolls, and ghosts 
Who now are joined by Surt's great fiery host 
Odin charges at Fenris' gaping maw 
But then is swallowed by the monstrous jaws

Thor pounds the Serpent till it meets its death 
And then collapses, killed by its poison breath 
Heimdall and Loki too pass from this life 
Pierced by each other's blades, they end their strife

=== [CHORUS] ===

=== Verse 5 ===

The war now ends, Yggdrasil is destroyed 
Nidhogg the dragon rises up from the void 
Then sinks back down, the world begins again 
Mankind goes on, though pagan gods be slain

But on stormy nights, if you look to the sky 
You will see a host of wild phantoms ride 
Illumined by the lightning, and in their lead 
Is One who rides upon an eight-legged steed

=== [CHORUS] ===

You will see a host of wild phantoms ride 
Illumined by the lightning, and in their lead 
Is One who rides upon an eight-legged steed

142.46.8.6: /* Verse 1 */

==Lyrics==

===Verse 1===

It used to be a churchhouse 
But the crowds just wouldn't come 
They remade it into a cinema 
Because that's way more fun

The faithful moviegoers 
All sit quietly in the pews 
Their altar now a screen to which they 
Have unclouded views

===Chorus===

'Tis true the cinema is church 
That worships unknown gods 
The public offers body and soul 
To its unholy cause

===Verse 2===

The mass begins, the cup is passed 
At the concession stand 
Silent all, they eat and drink 
But do not understand

And all the while, the flickering screen 
A sermon will impart 
Not with words, but images 
That latch onto the heart

===Verse 3===

When the final chant is done 
And light fills room entire 
The congregation stumbles out 
Unaware of what's transpired

They didn't see that this was church 
They watched to be diverted 
But heeding to the altar call 
They all have been converted

===Verse 4===

The priest picks up a Super 8 
And turns the camera on 
He points it at the world around 
A new day now has dawned

Images on strips of film 
That don't bypass the mind 
Confrontational and strange 
No one has seen their kind

===2nd Chorus===

'Tis true the cinema is church 
Made to the Unknown God 
Filmmakers offer body and soul 
To this, a holy cause

Back to the Abacus

2008-07-04T15:12:16Z

142.46.8.6: /* Verse 1 */

===Verse 1===

Something's up with the Internet 
This file won't download 
For an estimated download time 
2 days is way too slow

My MP3s are all corrupted 
And now so are my OGGs 
This video won't upload to YouTube 
I can't access my blog

Since everything is shutting down 
We'd better turn ourselves around 
And go

===CHORUS===

Back to the abacus 
Because we can't count on our machines 
Back to the abacus 
Before we fall into entropy

===Verse 2===

Cell phones take forever to charge 
So now we're using pay phones 
Vinyl's finally back in style 
The retro nerds aren't alone

People don't want groceries from Wal-Mart 
They like their food home-grown 
No chemicals or genetic alterations 
They wanna grow it on their own

All the new stuff is going out 
We're going by a different route 
That goes

===[CHORUS]===

===Verse 3===

Even abacuses fall apart 
Their beads fly everywhere 
They may be simple machines 
That doesn't save them from wear and tear

No matter how far back we go 
Our inventions will break down one by one 
It's just the way of the world we've made 
A gradual descent into oblivion

Everything will break down 
We can't escape it, but for now 
We'll go

===[CHORUS]===

Ben the Destroyer

142.46.8.6: /* Verse 3 */

=== Verse 1 ===

When the others left the planet 
The ruling class elite 
Through some miserable mistake 
I wasn't taken aboard the fleet

They said they'll come and get me 
Before the earth goes up in flames 
But the proles know why we left now 
And they'll want to be treated the same

They have no place among us 
And our spaceships have no room 
These 20,000 peasants 
Must be left to their doom

But they will not let me leave here 
And they can't all come too 
So before the pod arrives 
I've got a job to do

=== CHORUS ===

I am Ben the Destroyer 
I was left behind 
With the charge to annihilate 
The rest of mankind

=== Verse 2 ===

With my class 9000 phaser 
I'll destroy the colony 
Women, men, and children 
None will escape from me

As I walk into the city 
I hear cries of anger and shock 
I simply keep on walking 
I pay no heed to the talk

Then, with sudden movement 
I open fire on the crowd 
They fall in droves before me 
Their cries now painfully loud

In the next few violent days 
I take them down one by one 
They run before me like rabbits 
Fleeing the wrath of my gun

=== [CHORUS] ===

=== Verse 3 ===

When at last the job is done 
The commoners all lie dead 
The survivors have fled to the hills 
I can rest from my task of bloodshed

I wait for many hours 
Past the time they said they'd come 
But no one comes to my rescue 
I'm left staring at the sun

It finally dawns upon me 
That they're not coming back at all 
They've left me here alone 
To await the planetfall

Yet I feel no fear or anger 
In fact, I feel strangely fulfilled 
And as the earth begins to crumble 
I start to laugh unwilled

=== [CHORUS] ===

Ragnarok

2008-06-29T02:08:28Z

142.46.8.6: /* Verse 4 */

=== Verse 1 ===

A world built on honour, when lies are spoken 
Will surely fall, and Odin's word is broken 
It's not the first, for Fenris was deceived 
When he was bound, the gods' lie he believed

And Loki now is punished for his sin 
Though it be against the word of Odin 
The cock of Asgard crows to the hawk of Hel 
The earth splits open, hear the tolling bell

=== CHORUS ===

It's the Day of Wrath 
It's here, it's Ragnarök 
Götterdämmerung 
The Twilight of the Gods

=== Verse 2 ===

All fetters break, the Wolf is bound no more 
The champions of Valhalla mass for war 
For trolls and jotuns march against Asgard 
Odin leads the gods to fight them hard

With steps enormous, Thor falls on his foes 
And fells a hundred with fierce hammer blows 
But now the Midgard's Serpent crawls up on land 
His brother Fenris too is close at hand

=== [CHORUS] ===

=== Verse 3 ===

Out of the north the Nagelfar swiftly sails 
Its hull made out of dead men's fingernails 
And at the rudder Loki grimly stands 
He seeks revenge and soon will have his chance

The deaf'ning roar of death splits ope the sky 
And from the crack comes ruler of Muspelheim 
His name is Surt, soot-black, with flaming sword 
Behind him surges his vast demonic horde

=== [CHORUS] ===

=== Verse 4 ===

The Aesir clash with jotuns, trolls, and ghosts 
Who now are joined by Surt's great fiery host 
Odin charges at Fenris' gaping maw 
But then is swallowed by the monstrous jaws

Thor pounds the Serpent till it meets its death 
And then collapses, killed by its poison breath 
Heimdall and Loki too pass from this life 
Pierced by each other's blades, they end their strife

=== [CHORUS] ===

=== Verse 5 ===

The war now ends, Yggdrasil is destroyed 
Nidhogg the dragon rises up from the void 
Then sinks back down, the world begins again 
Mankind goes on, though pagan gods be slain

But on stormy nights, if you look to the sky 
You will see a host of wild phantoms ride 
Illumined by the lightning, and in their lead 
Is One who rides upon an eight-legged steed
