lyrics

King Reason is my king, he taught me, now I sing
He has the nose, knows what's best
Sheepskin, his clothes, unwell-dressed

King Reason has a queen and I am in between
She held me down when I realized
Dead in the ground, we all will die

Queen Reason held me down, so I am still around
She could have said, "Heaven-sent."
She held her tongue, did not relent

King Reason had a dream to become everything
He taught me how, housed me in
He taught me how, now I'm everything. (A King.)

[3x]
Now I'm everything

[3x]
You can't be my friend, you can't be my friend
You can't be my friend, you can't be, oh my God!
You can't be my friend, you can't be my friend
You can't be my friend, you can't be, oh my God, oh my God

This record is so well mixed. All of the songs are so unique. It’s just a blend of amazing riffage, catchy melodies, and intricate rhythmic insanity. Probably my favorite record of the 10s. Dustin E.-O.
