The stimulus of bottomless puzzles in our encounters with the world and with time / The abstract machines of evolution / And the scope of meaning / Systems set in motion by systems outside / Activate a sense of mise en abyme / This is the shrink-wrapped heart of the thing / This is the desiccant in the packaging / It's not really that annoying / It's not bothering me / It's not bothering me...

If this is what it takes / To shape the hearts and minds / Of the next generation of ants in a line / To be a force for good / In an experiment / In a society not worth repeating / I invoke an older law / I unhinge my jaws / I swallow it whole / Every last drop / Extra, extra / Read all about it / Unsatisfactory conditions / Extra, extra / Read all about it / Unavoidable consequences / Call me when you get back / From the business end / Of the empire, talking in circles / We can wave our feelers / We can spread our scent / We can walk on eggshells / With low-slung tombstone / Brain dead dial-toned / Lockstep exaggeration / Free from distractions / And bad attachments / Berserker rages / Satanic panics...

I'm ripped and / Converted / And I'm ready to play / There's no containing the myriad side effects / To this plane of reality / OK / OK / I'm warmed up / And I'm sliced up / And I'm excited to take up some space / There is no escape from nature / Please return to your proper place / I'm tuned in / And I'm maxed out / And you know that I'm cranked all the way up / Secure your belongings / Dial in your settings / Strike down those who don't heed the warnings / It's slick and serrated / And I've gotta say / It's a bit extreme for a bread knife / In a past life / Did it have the same inviting gleam? / I'm on pins and needles / I'm on pins and needles / I waited so long, I fell asleep / I had the strangest dream / We were living in a bleak and failed world / We were living in a bleak and failed world / I've been taken out back / I've been served up / I've come back up too late / I've drowned underneath / I've been rusted shut / I've been nailed down / I've been shut down so hard the whole damn thing folded up / There's a hole in me / There's a glitch in me / And I only thrive in captivity / Mistaken identity / Forsaken humanity / Fresh from the killing jar / Make an example out of me / It's cheap and / It's blunt but / I've gotta say, it's probably good enough / For a bread knife / In the next life / We'll have never had it so plush / It's a bread knife / It's a bread knife / It's a bread knife...
