Otto Exploder nearly made my entire complex erupt when he recorded the intro and guitar tracks throughout. Thanks Bill.

lyrics

This is for all the kids out there, the grown can't understand it
This is our planet, and we'll be here when the ending is handed
until then we'll live in a healthy fear of the sphere that surrounds us
smoke weed and drink beer until even the slightest things astound us
We're only human and if we turned on we'd be fuming
so we lose ourselves in the latest thing we're supposed to be consuming
sex, fast food, religion, relationships, as long as shit doesn't get
deep enough to leave us in the present, cognizant
our landscape's been raped our way of life is forgetting'
threatened by the glare of impending Armageddon
So we cold war the dance floor, and sex tour the contours
of our limited aspirations infuriating procrastination
in the face of the certain devastation were tasting
Sell out sick with it just to punch a meal ticket
stuck in the the thick of it trying to get the last pick of spit
that massa rationed just to laugh and see what happened
Platinum shackles for the masses, after the recession passes
Until then toss us where the trash is and we'll find our way
Hold the fort down for the rebels, who want bleed out all the devils
we couldn't see through all the levels then but this is a new day
Bombs bursting to the joy of the blood thirsty, but burning out long
before they begin to sway the cosmic pattern
Kneel before your nearest Zod and feel deeper than you can fathom this is for the children of the atom

This ones just for the children

You see the world is controlled by shape-shifting alien lizards
who murdered all the pagan gods superheroes and wizards
Who abandoned us to fend off the horde of the unknown
monitoring production while claiming our progress as their own
They left us with our pleasantries, twinkies and tv
they're trying to fatten us up so when it's time to feast it's easy
they breathe Co2 that's why were cutting down the rain forrest
and driving cars until there's no oxygen left for us
The countdown of escalation meets us in the shape of temptation
their blood surges through the villains claiming they can bring us change
I'll be downtown at the station in a state of contemplation
when the flood of killing in the city streets starts to seem strange
the range of faith one can have in leadership is slim these days
as our beauty's slowly washed away only our filth remains
ways to live straight are seemingly game of sleight of hand
fires fan the underlying current of modern man
we had a plan so where'd it all go so terribly wrong
since when'd the years go by so fast but the seconds seem so long?
the song of the seasons is finding reason to change it's being
hard to tell the true nature of the box were trapped in
eyes blackened on some empire strikes backin
true to scale dope motherfucking god like titan, kraken in and out and in of the deepest abyss and the darkest chasm this is for the children of the atom

I just want to escape. I want to get away. I want to be free.
But I don't have anywhere else to go. I don't have anyone else to be.
This ones just for the children if that's not you, go head and be excused
This ones just for the children because them grown folk ain't gonna be no use

This one's just for the children.

My name is AtomanaloG I hang out with guys
named after Harry Potter characters and Indian warrior gods
I came to shake you out your pods, and freak you out your fog
because it lessens us, being oppressors and such

We've weaved a web of superiority in which we have become trapped
that's why we can't except the facts, like how Beethoven was black
We lie to each other all day, then lie to ourselves at night
that's why we fail to see the truth, like how Obama is white

With all this real world struggle we're trying to see through the tears
and haven't noticed the vampires and werewolves living among us for years
the dinosaurs weren't killed when some asteroid came
the CIA infiltrated their neighborhoods and distributed crack cocaine

Well some left on spaceships, but why get into the details
I'm holding on to the third rail trying to see through the Matrix
Casting out the fake shit, and if your feelings can't take it
I'll be on the corner burning with smoky lung patiently Waiting to Exhale

Long before the sorcerers were forced to live on satellites
they hid there most secret spells in drooping stalactites
But there are few left who can harvest information of it's purity
It's been known to tear a man's flesh from his bones or rob a woman's virginity

It's a dirty job. But someone's gotta do it.
It's a really dirty job but someone's gotta do it.
It's the dirtiest of jobs, who wants to do it?

Aa. It's Aa

This one's just for the children
