about

Written on a couch in Muncie, while getting propositioned for sex and refusing it, to preserve the train of thought that brought me these lyrics. Made the loop at the same time as Cinnabar Fields. Tracked the guitars and then had Erick and James record a bunch of drum takes and cut the shit out of it. Plus a delay pedal. Bass recorded live on a thousand dollar amp without permission.

lyrics

These predictions are coming from the mind of a prophet: In the future, TV’s will be as big as walls. In the future, cars will drive themselves. These words are coming from the mouth of a prophet, like a post-Paul Atriedes; I'm coming like the Preacher. Like a young Johnny Appleseed coming off a three month fruit bender, I'm hollowed out and having visions sizable to Mohammed's. In the future, TVs will be banned due to energy conservation laws. In the future, cars will constantly die due to our overexerted oil reserve. In the future, Northern suburbs will be replaced by war destroyed shanties. In the future, the South will be desecrated by creeping Kudzu vines. In the future, the acid rain will come down warm, but the greenhouse winters will be all warmer. In the future, the economic system will have gone down with the demise of gold and technology. In the future, wandering poets will be wealthier than wandering businessmen. In the future, people will look back on this and laugh saying Isaac must have had some prescience in his path. In the future... To clarify our future sense let's look at our history shall we? Are you saying Christians aren't descended from some early pagan traditional systems? Are you saying not all white men descended from primitive black leaders? Are you saying Allah and Jehovah don't suffer the same multiple personality disorder? HA. Let me tell you, I've been out to see some sights and let me tell you there's nothing to see. It's all the same stink rotting under the same tree. It's all the same sink dumping shit into the sea. It's the same sea feeding oil into the trees. I don't want to be a slave. I don't want to be a drone. I don't want to be a robot. I don't want to be a clone. I don't want to be the future. I don't want to be the past. I don't want to be the future. I don't want to be a king. I don't want to be a god. I don't want to be a savior. I don't want to be a slob. I don't want to be a boy. I don't want to be a man. I don't want to be a human. I don't want to understand. I don't want to have a job. I don't want to go to school. I don't want to have a future. I don't want to know the rules. I don't want to be a laborer, I don’t want to be a rapper. I don't want to be the future.
