Deteriorata

Industrial metal, driving straight 4/4 stomp with drop-tuned palm-muted guitars, grinding bass, electronic kick-and-snare layered with live double-kick drums; eerie horror samples with pitch drops, tape grit, and cavernous reverb weave through the dense choruses, then drop to near-silence for the heaviest riff before a crushing full-band hit; androgynous midrange scream-sung vocals

[Intro]
You are a fluke of the universe
You have no right to be here
Deteriorata! Deteriorata!

[Verse 1]
Go placidly, amid the noise and waste
And remember what comfort there may be
In owning a piece thereof
Avoid quiet and passive persons
Unless you are in need of sleep
Rotate your tires
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself
And heed well their advice, even though they'd be turkeys
Know what to kiss, and when

[Verse 2]
Consider the two wrongs never make a right
But that three do
Wherever possible, put people on hold
Be comforted, that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment
And despite the changing fortunes of time
There is always a big future in computer maintenance

[Chorus]
You are a fluke of the universe
You have no right to be here
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back

[Verse 3]
Remember the Pueblo
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate
Know yourself
If you need help call the FBI
Exercise caution in your daily affairs
Especially with those persons closest to you
That lemon on your left, for instance
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet
Fall not in love; therefore, it will stick to your face
Gracefully surrender the things of youth
The birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan
And let not the sands of time get in your lunch

[Verse 4]
Hire people with hooks
For a good time call 606-4311
Ask for Ken
Take heart amid the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese
And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot
It could only be worse in Milwaukee

[Chorus]
You are a fluke of the universe (You are a fluke of the universe)
You have no right to be here (You have no right to be here)
And whether you can hear it or not (And whether you can hear it or not)
The universe is laughing behind your back (The universe is laughing behind your back)

[Verse 4]
Therefore, make peace with your god
Whatever you conceive him to be
Hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin
With all its hopes, dreams, promises and urban renewal
The world continues to deteriorate
Give up
[Chorus]
You are a fluke of the universe
You have no right to be here
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back

You are a fluke of the universe
You have no right to be here
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back

Give up
