I wrote this song after being accepted to JMC Academy, but being unable to go since Centrelink won’t pay me its meagre Austudy benefit - and needing that money for stuff like food and transport while I study. Some rule counts previous study time towards your total allowable time they will pay you, and still counts despite the fact they have given me a total of zero cents over my life.

I was very angry.

This song was the result.

Lyrics:

Intro:
Shatter the simile
Mangle the metaphor
What is the point?
When you’re ruled by whores….

Verse 1:
Slaughter is my only option
Pushed to this by your fine print diction
Give into my dark temptation
Crush your government foundation

Chorus:
Fuck you and your bureaucrats
BURN IT TO THE GROUND!
Fuck you and your so called facts
BURN IT TO THE GROUND!
Fuck you you motherfucking cunts
BURN IT TO THE GROUND!

Verse 2:
Rubric set by the corporations
Our rights are just decoration
Time to bring on salvation
By massive life termination

Disclaimer: I don’t believe a single word of this song.

So, this is the contrast to last weeks song…. a hymn.

Unlike everything I’ve done, this was recorded all in one take, playing the guitar and singing the vocals simultaneously.

And I wasn’t wearing a shirt….

Yes, this is that song about invisible pink unicorns again.

Why?

Well…. as a part of my application to study at JMC Academy next year I have an Audition where I need to perform 2 contrasting songs. So, instead of playing some classic metal tune, I thought I’d play one of my classic Anti-theist ditties…. Partly cos it’s easier to play my own song, partly because they aren’t going to judge it compared to a classic original version, partly to show off my other musical abilities (songwriting, bass, production, vocals) and partly to really emphasise the “contrasting” (which you’ll understand next week when I release my version of the other tune).

For ease of tuning purposes, and because of a few technical difficulties, I decided to re-record the backing track and thought…. Why not release this version? Allow both my fans to compare and contrast to the original version.

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Unicorn, men they seek, but can’t find
Unicorn, reclusive, horned equine
Unicorn, chaste virgin, trap to bind
Unicorn, is it just in your mind

Verse 1:
Fantastic beast, the great unicorn
Congruent to a horse, but forehead with horn
Untameable and wild, mysterious might
Many seek to find it, but try as they might
No specimens are captured, in vain is the hunt
The logical conclusion, although it is blunt
The documented sightings, just optical illusion
Or fabricated tales, or products of delusion

Verse 2:
Invisible and pink, horse with a horn
A messianic hebrew, to virgin is born
In the air spaghetti, a noodley appendage
A burning piece of shrubbery, with a holy message
Flying cosmic teapot, Campus Crusade for Cthulhu
Buddha, Allah, Brahman, Wiccan Goddesses & Xenu
Believing supernatural claims, a dissonance of reason
Your faith is just a futile act of intellectual treason

Chorus 2:
Unicorn, men they seek, but can’t find
Unicorn, reclusive, false divine
Unicorn, chaste virgin, trap to bind
Unicorn, God is just in your mind

Part 6.

The End.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Darkness defeats me
Chaos controls me
These things I have
Brought on myself

Chorus 1:
Drowning, I’m drowning
Falling, I’m falling

Verse 2:
Pain penetrates me
Failure follows me
These things I have
Wrought on the world

Verse 3:
Disease dominates me
Entropy escapes me
These things I have
Spread to the world

Chorus 2:
This is all my fault
I took the first step
This is all my fault
Oh why did I not see?
Where this would
Where this would
Where this world ends?

Chorus 3:
Infect the world
Infect the world
Infect the world
You must choose, wolf or sheep
You must choose, wolf or sheep
You must lose, wolf or sheep
