Beware the Blue Skies
from A Boat on the Sea by Moron Police
lyrics
Here comes death from the blue skies,
Nagasaki like the 4th of July.
Watch our missiles blow them sky high--
what a cost-efficient way to die!
Robot-Eagle on a flat screen,
a 14-year old learning to fly.
Blow them up, that’s the sound of freedom forming in their minds.
You’re waking up, missing everybody, friends piled in a line.
You’re going up, taking everybody down into the monsters of your mind,
man, we’re waiting for a damn good time.
You won it all, it’s a bonanza.
Supreme Leader and new rebels to train.
We’ll give them guns and an agenda,
one-way tickets on commercial planes.
You’re looking good towards re-election,
you’ve got a multi-million-dollar campaign.
And you’re moving up, up past everybody--
hell, you can’t complain.
You’re going up, up past everybody on ladders built from pain.
You’re going up, taking everybody down into the monsters of your mind.
We’re waiting for a damn good time.
And hip-hooray here comes Norway, friend to one and all.
We don’t sell guns, we just provide a little service, that’s all.
We’re the ambassadors of peace and kindness, merely warlords
dealing death and violence in a cabaret.
We’re good friends with the U.S.A.
Nagasaki like the 4th of July.
Watch our missiles blow them sky high--
what a cost-efficient way to die!
Robot-Eagle on a flat screen,
a 14-year old learning to fly.
Blow them up, that’s the sound of freedom forming in their minds.
You’re waking up, missing everybody, friends piled in a line.
You’re going up, taking everybody down into the monsters of your mind,
man, we’re waiting for a damn good time.
You won it all, it’s a bonanza.
Supreme Leader and new rebels to train.
We’ll give them guns and an agenda,
one-way tickets on commercial planes.
You’re looking good towards re-election,
you’ve got a multi-million-dollar campaign.
And you’re moving up, up past everybody--
hell, you can’t complain.
You’re going up, up past everybody on ladders built from pain.
You’re going up, taking everybody down into the monsters of your mind.
We’re waiting for a damn good time.
And hip-hooray here comes Norway, friend to one and all.
We don’t sell guns, we just provide a little service, that’s all.
We’re the ambassadors of peace and kindness, merely warlords
dealing death and violence in a cabaret.
We’re good friends with the U.S.A.

2014 - What Kind Of Creature Am I?
by ToehiderOne of the greatest finds I've had the pleasure of...eh..finding on here! Really wonderful, technical and experimental, with those great melodies that you love to sing along to until Grandma kills you

Another project of the songwriter of Moron Police. Very silly, but catchy, Power Metal. About a dragon living in a sink and a penguin in a swimsuit that eats babies.

I haven't been able to listen to or think about any other band since finding this album two months ago, and that very rarely happens for me. Blackbox is a beautiful, nuanced ride through the dark from start to finish... and so much skill and love have gone into it. Thank you for this gift!

Thank god for prog that doesn't take itself too seriously. This is glorious, energetic, silly and a hell of a lot of fun.

Throwing mathcore, emo, and ambient into the mix, Estonia's Kaschalot push progressive rock's multitasking approach to its limits.
