blake carrillo this is just the greatest track (and record)! swell job! i mean, what a perfect transition from the title track, and that vocal melody at 3:27!?... come on. and homies drums take me to another planet. this record came to me at the perfect time in life. check it! xox Favorite track: you should wreck it.

Anfon Dang The reason I love these guys so much is because their sound has continued to mature and blossom with every listen. Kid Cops still jack the ripper but 3 years into listening to this album, the last three songs have finally clicked. Bravissimo, Gentlemen! May you continue to bring my soul to tears with your viscerally cathartic take on modern music/american art culture/humanity. Favorite track: kid cops.

unless you want it toss me out unless you want it toss me out unless you wanted to toss me upon the floor unless you wanted to hose me down unless you want it (we dont) we know what we know and we know that we dont we know we dont we dont encourage it, hose me down we dont encourage hands me downs progress slows me down i guess you called it in time, you get the seat we call it a simple life unless you dont want a little time to get to meet we call it a simple life, guess you want it it gets you goin', it gets you in the know it gets you involved, and other times it gets you deep unless you called it in time, you get the seat call it semper fi unless you want it hose me down but we dont buy sell collect die

asterisks get attached to years that get entwined with another time back before the core was smoldered out and all was left to die no one questions why, theyre just comfortable enough to care that their petulant lives ar'nt interrupted by the screams and these tortured stares of the children whos only crime was being cast aside all failed seekers of the myth instead theres rapture upon the souls that swerve between the lines never cared to decide that the road is full of logs and boulders blocking passage by, no one questions why theyre just comfortable enough to care that their petulant lives arnt interrupted by the graves theyll be tossed in when they whither and pass the torch to the next corpse all failed seekers of the myth like warriors spawned of garbage, theyre prepared to die for lost causes, now well encounter all these souls which hide behind their prideful guise (and their petulant lives) and we'll lift their masks off why cant every mother feed the child and soothe its endless cries why cant anyone ascend, instead a slow decline why with every chance (that we get) to lift their masks off, all is ended, lost why cant it come off black is night and all is color with an homage, we call it all somber ive felt unsatisfied about another and with a sigh i say it all just sucks

dont go astray find your way despite it its a mystery, it gets to you were all saints of our time dont go home find your way inside its a mystery, and it gets to you were all slaves of our time dont become this way just make everything inside a mystery were all saints of our time, blessed and winged, loved, feared, felled any way you slice it, its a mystery were all slaves unbound

never was i ever certain of the powers that we all hold bent like straw by the others, bound and beat on a pole but it gets misinterpreted by you never was i empowered by the other guys ideas, get it right we never thought during all this time that there was something guiding the other guys ideas, well get it right, well make eyes for the colorblind well hang out till the mud is dry like the other lives i lead, lets get it right lets all move, lets all sway in slo-mo we can all move

so let me half explain what you may have thought already cast your reel and let me snag the bait so hang your head in shame, respect my authority place the weapons on the ground and spread so many altered states perpetuate involuntary paths that lead to an empathetic grace serenity is strange matches your weight in vanity cancels out everything, cleans the slate so let me try and explain forget what you had thought of me this could be your only hope to be saved so let me pull the strings abandon solidarity thrust all engines on and say your last rites were all coming unmarked

did you ask me if its true (to life)? did you ask me if its new? are you asking if its new to you or new to life? did you ask me? cause its true glad you asked me, cause its true to life did you ask me? is it you? can you ask me if its new to you or new to life? moan mona lisa (lisa) sound the horns, summon the priests my moan mona lisa ive come to know that more than atleast one ton we will feast on home we go, where purple buffalo roam in peace im starving now, order the pizza please order cheese my moan mona lisa gather with the fools of old gather with the moles and fold your eyes closed for the sleep might bring you the peace i never could conceive my moan mona lisa (lisa)

we can only speculate for now inclined as i am to the anomaly of time and what it makes a mind do and to answer everyone, im a bastard to everyone you know that everyone gets a kick in the jaw whatever script that you decide to send me ill recite and i'll unmake truth, whatever it takes to find you my answer to everyone, we massacred everyone and you know that everyones got a click in the jaw unless theres super powers set on my demise ill wallow in spite, if thats what it takes to define youth get the best of everyone, ill outlast everyone you wonder if everyone got the kick in the jaw and if my signature is required by the time the world begins its slide into disgrace, ill sign too i do this with everyone, ill massacre everyone and you know that everyone will have a click in the jaw
