The Rat Age

T-Bone Burnett

    Continues after the ad

    I was conceived in a behavior station
    Light years from civilization
    I was born in oblivion
    Half Balinese half Libyan
    My father was a vector
    My mother was a specter
    As earthmen battle for their skins
    I come down with the aliens

    Is this not the rat age
    The demented Photostat age
    The time of no room

    We've broken the genetic code
    And left it bleeding by the road
    Where murderers loom

    Continues after the ad

    You've changed your face you've changed your scent
    You've even changed your fingerprint
    Image is anything
    But with all this electricity
    You can't change your publicity
    The lies the many sing

    Down in the greed plex
    Under a spike of light
    Stop at the slave port
    Enter the death resort
    No stimulation
    Nothing but mono thought
    Re simulation
    Depop but don't get caught

    I dream to surf the rodeocean
    Negotiate meaning with no emotion
    If the kill is clean your still got time
    To hone evil on the tooth of crime

    I'm sober on the grapes of wrath
    While running down the psycho path
    Is this not a cruel world
    Good morning little school girl
    It's the rat age
