PRIMAL Woke this morning man I’m still alive Living and breathing still got some time Tidy this place get some semblance of mind Before I lay myself down for the very last time All that I know from all that I have seen There’s a price freedom’s not free Always someone else in line it seems To take away any hope of any dreams It’s all wrong So wrong Can’t seem to find an alternative space It’s gone wrong When will this end? When will we be free? When will peace come to you and me? You need to be yourself You can’t be no one else Share your photograph You’re having a laugh If you don’t love yourself You can’t love no one else You need to heal yourself You need to be yourself You need to be yourself You can’t be no one else You need to heal yourself To be yourself Be yourself Be yourself

The Vortex Way 05:40

The Vortex Way Floating in space Infinity an open page Think I’ll get myself a space ship Fly through the galaxy Checking out the cosmos Home in time for tea Think I might see me some aliens Visit them for a change Looking up and questioning Then fly across the Milky Way Think I’ll get one of them cyborgs Can change her shape and her face Go away for long weekends Deep with inner space Reality Flesh and skin Touch of her skin Eye on skin Living the dream Just get that feeling to escape sometimes There’s no place to find Only within your mind Think I might get me a time machine See it all for myself Everything And then what else? Came here to escape Looking for the sound Escape from escape In a vortex round and round Flesh and skin Touch of her skin Eye on skin Riding the dream Floating in space Infinity the vortex way In its wake Lost in space The vortex way

The Enemy Within 03:36
lyrics

The Enemy Within Uncle Sam has a two-tier governing system There’s the puppet president with his war machine And a few individuals who own nearly everything That’s everything! Your banking system is run by them And money spent by your government At interest and how much you get is how much they set The interest rates and inflation Who pays? Who pays? Your government More money lent From the central bank At interest To pay the interest on the interest on the interest On and on in the land of the free It’s a road to slavery Over 200 trillion dollars world debt Over 700 trillion for Rothschild what the heck He’s got a million dollars for everybody living today Rothschild’s or Morgan’s Rockefeller’s or Warburg’s Whether Nazis Communists or Jews Either side adroitly they choose A country borrows money When a country goes to war Not PT boats Pearl Harbor wanted and provoked Lusitania sent in And despite all the warnings To sustain wars not to win Syria Iraq Afghanistan Israel in plight Iran in their sights Central banking system moving things out the way Control of the world We’re their niggers and slaves

Floating On The Breeze 03:07
lyrics

Floating on the breeze Good times few and far between Laughter lines now plastic grins Replacing everything it seems With something don’t like what it is Living in mediocrity Caged lions needing to be freed The nightmare of some else’s dream Distraction then they slither in Your life living loving and free Your heart and soul at peace Your mind not seeking release Outside floating on the breeze Fight fight Fighting everything Outside and the greatest fight within Dharma drowning in its sea Manyana let’s see how it is Motivation Not so much within Now they’re talking and we are listening Not on TV down here on the streets Waiting for the fuse to be lit Your life living loving and free Your heart and soul at peace Your mind not seeking release Outside floating on the breeze You can’t make it only break it See through your lies and disguise Waiting for the song of angels Not the buzzing storm of flies Your life living loving and free Your heart and soul at peace Your mind not seeking release Outside floating on the breeze

Giants 04:21

Giants Something good is happening Feel it in the air it’s in the wings This world and its might ain’t for you and me Hopefully the man is calling his sheep The bigger they are the harder they fall All your money and your gold no use anymore Seen it all before when the walls of Jericho came tumbling down Burn Babylon burn The bigger they are the harder they fall Your tradition and religion no use anymore Seen it all before where they’re banging their heads on the wall Tore it all down Burn Babylon burn My head is shaved I hang suspended between two citadels Strain the neck to see the light Torn between heaven and hell The bigger they are the harder they fall Thought no one was watching When you tried to take it all Nothing saved can save when your backs to the wall That’s gonna come down Burn Babylon burn

Full Throttle 04:45
lyrics

Full Throttle I met this Asian chic I think she’d been crying I could see in her eyes she’d been hiding Her soul away not much to say a shadow in space until the day In another place she learned to see by letting go she felt free I’m not saying that I love you I’m not saying that I care I’m not saying you’re anything special don’t know how to if I dared The world goes on revolving spinning in the lost and found I wanna tie you up don’t wanna tie you down Sunday morning Rain is falling It’s getting hot Keep calm and worship She said I really really wanna try Feels a little uncomfortable But it will be alright There she goes Heaven knows Where does this go? I’m falling free falling veiled and restrained I am free I’m falling free falling serving to reward me Do anything for you do anything to me I’m falling free falling inner peace understanding me Exploring privately her secret little world Emotional secure powerless to my word A journey of the mind needed deep inside falling free falling To have you as mine to lose is to know to know is to let go

Two Down. 04:33
lyrics

2 DownJel and Bean were very close it seems Using their imagination they made many things Poor they lived but not in povertyImmigrant parents are hard-working as can be Drinking is and easy I don’t remember too much of last night Freedom and fresh air and a path that was straight Blonde haired and blue eyes with an angel’s gait What chance for an immigrant son? Burn warren burn Burning take the blame Burn it don’t say no names Burn what did you learn? A visit a chance to escape 60 minutes another place Safety 6x8 Freedom cannot wait Santos and Rovers Boxing after midnight No words from the poet anymore Jekyll and Hyde the best way to describe Whatever battles the demon drink was gating inside From clear blue skies To nights with piercing criesIn my dreams again Or in the light Little boy blue

Feels Like Coming Home. 03:46
lyrics

It hurts sometimes There’s no denying Get lost sometimes We just can’t fight it Do you ever feel that the world just needs some loving? Do you ever feel that the world needs tender care? It’s hard sometimes midst all the pushing and shoving But remember Hey I also care I really do care It passes Things get clearer The further you go You get nearer It feels like coming home Those you’ve loved and those yet to come Everything is in everyone Waiting Our time will come It’ll be fun

In America. 05:28
lyrics

In America Fox news is messing up their heads in America Whore your soul on TV in America Big brother’s watching everyone in America They kill animals on vacation for fun in America Military vehicles to enforce the rules in America They’re building prisons they’re closing schools in America Riots and looting another police shooting in America They’re killing children in their classrooms in America A drive by shooting at night for fun in America No wars to end but another to come in America America America God shed his grace on thee Til selfish gain No longer stain The banner of the free The Vietnam war came to an end in America Came together causing change in America The world is watching the world is waiting in America To break the chains start again in America The world beckons, light the beacons in America I want to go to Bohemian Grove I wanna go and see the show Get the vibe on the place Is it as evil as they say? Networking One-percenting One in three in poverty in America Rain water’s not free in America Not allowed to feed the poor in America Wind power from reservations in America They want to take your house away in America War is peace and ignorance is bliss in America A black president what about a gay in America Politically correct, that’s the way in America In America, the flag of the free Flying over the land of the braves Time to stop making such a mess Time to save what can be saved

Righteous. 04:31
lyrics
buy track
Righteous Righteous You’re so righteous Pure and righteous You can tell us what to do The enemy and where to fight Which false flag to chase and kill As long as we are dumb and believing It’s some kind of righteous will Taken poverty to a whole new spin Like King John robbing the poor It’s time for Robin the Hood Not time for funding your wars Maybe age of Aquarius Sensing things are strange One way or another It’s time to rearrange Finally it’s happening the lull before the show They’re sending in the dogs let everybody know Take your stand or fade away Knights in armour with her dragon slain Don’t tell me what to think and what to wear Don’t tell me what to pay and what to pray Righteous Not so righteous More dumb than righteous in all you do Don’t need someone claiming to be right I know inside bad from good Plutocratic greed like a pig when it feeds Take your swill from you Call it friendly fire when it rains down from the sky Karma what did you do? Once you are gone what we believed all along Love is the only thing true

Keeping It Together. 03:54
lyrics

Keeping it together Not keeping it together You’re seated on the horizon Conclusion of fusion Maybe some kind of pardon Was there a better way? Was there another way? Was this the only way? Then what in hell with all the praying It’s our lot we can learn from this It’s our lot we can live this like this It’s our lot we can do what you wish It’s my life I have tried all of this It’s my lot I can’t take this no more It’s my lot I can’t live this no more It’s my lot I can’t be your loving whore It’s my life I want to so much more Where do you think you’re heading now? Don’t wander off stay where you can be seen Don’t kid yourself you’ve got time to get ready now Wait and see if all truth is a dream Gently as you go Your love is all you can show Whatever shit went down It ain’t important now The last pages will turn for thee The sorry tale of a soul’s journey A beginning with a destiny Somewhere inside there was you and me

Tearing Down the Walls I need to say Before away From all of this Befuddling Chicanery No respect for life and nature Raping mother earth We don’t take care of one another Look out for self Is this the way that it should be? Systemized education And judge Conformity Don’t think just speak And repeat after me We want to be free While choosing to live In cells of make believe Lock yourself away Lock yourself away Don’t come out to play Lock your head away Tearing down the walls To free your mind Your tender vessel Leave no one behind Tearing down the walls

Manjay Manjay Wanna party Play that beat Dancing in the street The sound of people Coming together Gathering round Moving to the sound Joining in the dance macabre Modern dance Hathor dance Horos dance The dance of Shiva More each day A swell to say Move things out the way It’s now or never It’s there if you want it your slice of the pie Or stay wanting and do nothing and be denied Sometimes I feel what I feel I feel alone More arresting for protesting I know I’m not alone Manjay Wanna party Healing dance Manjay Wanna party Stand up move your body Take your place on the floor Rise up and be counted It’s a choice to ignore I know I’m not alone

about

We have been working on this album since last summer and ended up with 26 tracks. Two of these we used for the CalAid charity single and then we chose our favourites building up to just under an hour of music.
Paul composed music that reflected some of his favourite genres from the last 40 years and Kenneth's lyrics continued to reflect on the evils of the modern world and how best to combat them. Although perhaps less direct than the first album, the central theme of protest against the establishment is still firmly there.
