I don't care about that car crash Couldn't care less about some woman who won 10 million dollars cash The media is filling up our heads with a false sense of crisis The media is pumping up our egos with a false sense of importance I don't care about that plane crash We all gotta go sometime and death ain't really that bad But the media is controlling us by the strings of our emotions The media is poisoning us with a fear laced potion Why don't you try thinking for yourself? Try thinking for yourself? Why are we so damn tied up in this trivia? Religion of half truths and one sided propaganda The guy on your TV screen, he's got a Cheshire smile Can you trust him? No No No In his smooth confidence he's just covering up the tracks of a corrupt system (x2) And tell me... Are your children's eyes always glued to the TV screen? Where violence is bleeding into their reality. That TV screen is handing out hatred to its citizens. So we're fighting one another, we don't have any time to fight the system. Keep watching television, avoid the ambition to think for yourself. Think for yourself. And I'll try thinking for myself. Perhaps we could all try thinking Think for yourself myself yourself ourselves myself Why don't you try thinking for yourself? Try thinking for yourself? You might like it. Why don't you try it. You might like it. Why don't you try it.

Nursery Rap 05:13
Mary had a little piggy bank made out of glass To fill it up with golden coins she had to bust her ass Worked her fingers to the bone and dug an early grave Never took the time to spend the money that she saved Bah bah black sheep sold his wool for cash In a can around his neck he had quite the stash But that can it got so heavy and it cut off all his breath Bald bah bah black sheep sold himself to death Save your money for a rainy day But that rainy day might not come your way You don't need that, you don't need all that money You don't need that, you don't need all that money You don't need that, you don't need all that money You don't need that, you don't need all that money Little Bo Peep sold all her sheep For a big fat wad of green A little bit too needy and a bit too greedy I hear the loneliness drove her insane Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet Counting her pennies with glee Along came a spider with a Colt 45-er And he said 'give all your money to me' Save your money for a rainy day But that rainy day might not come your way You don't need that, you don't need all that money You don't need that, you don't need all that money You don't need that, you don't need all that money You don't need that, you don't need all that money What are you saving all that money for anyways Give it up, give it up, give it up Walking down the street and you're shit outta luck You don't look both ways you get hit by a truck You don't need that, you don't need that Walking down the street and you're shit outta luck You don't look both ways you get hit by a truck You don't need that, you don't need all that money That rainy day might not ever come your way That rainy day might not ever come your way That rainy day might not ever come your way Ah give it up, give it to me Give me all your money Money money money money money money money money money Give it to me And on and on and on and on this song goes on and on and on This song goes on and on and on and on and on and on Ah yah Save your money for a rainy day

Hoppin' on an alligator's back Tryin' to get to other side of the river The alligator says to me, 'the river's getting deep Why don't you jump on top of my head you'll be much dryer up here instead' So I'm hoppin' on that alligator's head Tryin' to get to the other side of the river Tryin' to get to the other side Tryin' to get to the other side of the river Then the alligator says, 'I don't suppose that you'd rather climb to the tip of my nose' I don't think so 'You won't get any wetter, and the view is so much better up here' I don't know So I'm ho-hoppin' on to that alligator's nose Tryin' to get tah to get tah to get tah the other side of the crazy river And then you know what that alligator does I mean, you're not gonna believe this Smacks his lips gives his head a flip I lose my grip into his jaws I slip Down his throat I wiggle And I can hear him burp and giggle So you hopped onto my back little girl Ha ha ha ha Tryin' to get to the other side Tryin' to get to the other side Tryin' to get to the other side of the river But let me tell you something I'm an alligator and killin' is my nature yah Trust an alligator I'm an alligator and killin' is my nature yah Trust an alligator What'd you expect? You sucker

Standing by the river on the side of this road Feelin' a long way from home Swimmin' in this ocean inside of head and I Feel like I'm drownin' I feel like I'm drownin' Hangin' out on the corner with my only friends Me myself and my violin Waiting for the rain to wash me away and then I'll Watch all my colours fade to grey I think I like it better this way And I don't know why I feel like cryin' cryin' and I don't know why Gotta keep on movin' movin' Sinkin' to the bottom of this crazy sea and my Heart feels heavy I can't breath All my actions all my thoughts all my words They're dragging' me down and I'm Finding it harder and harder to stick around I keep on runnin' from myself And I don't know why I feel like cryin' crying I don't know why my heart feels like Breakin' breakin' breakin' breakin I keep on runnin' I keep on runnin' But I can't run away from myself

Back on the scene everything's so green Put my back down, take a look around Feel the weight of solid ground Back on the scene the slate's wiped clean Gotta room of my own with a really big window But I can't help but feel like a fish in a bowl I can't help but feel like a fish in a bowl Why can't I help but feel like a fish in a bowl Oh shit, here comes that feelin' again You know, you know the one, That feelin' kickin' in of Ma ma ma ma ma monotony Ma ma ma ma ma monotony Ma ma ma ma ma monotony Walking down a crooked road in a broken town Walkin' around kickin' a can Waiting for something big to happen But instead Oh no no no no Here comes that feelin' again Oh no That feelin' kickin' in of Ma ma ma ma ma monotony Ma ma ma ma ma monotony Ma ma ma ma ma monotony But if I want to change the scenery I've got to change what's in me If I wanna change things around me I've got to change things within me Now I get it its so easy If the world around me starts to get a little grey Just change my coat of paint Choose to paint my world with the colours I've stored In the palm of my hand The tip of my tongue The back of my mind The souls of my feet And from the base of my heart From the base of my heart Change my ma ma ma ma ma monotony Into some creativity Change my ma ma ma ma monotony Into some creativity Change my ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma monotony Into something funky Into something funky Time to get funky Time to get funky Time to get funky Time to get funky Time to get funky

about

This is ‘After the Fall' (Explicit Lyrics).
For the radio friendly album, see 'After the Fall (Radio Edit)'.

'After the Fall' was recorded in 1999/2000 in Toronto, the project shelved before an official release because of a bicycle accident. Here it is today, officially released 2 decades later, with music that resonates more so in this time.
This project is a rhythmic and melodic smorgasbord. From Zappa-esque wit presented with Latin and funk flavours (News), to rock/blues Hendrix style violin (Carrot, Sex), to strangely sweet (dis)harmonies mixing pop and hard rock (Sob Story); each song is unique in its genre-bending/blending panache. And check out the musicianship and contribution of all those involved in this project.
