Wikeloops Jam 8500 - Drums by MrAdamsOnDrums I'm gonna get up Get up and go I'mma gonna get up Get up and go I'm gonna get up Get up and go Got things to do and places to be People to meet and mouths to feed Minds to explore warnings to heed Songs to write and stories to read chrus Gonna make it better gonna leave a mark Wanna change the world wanna do my part I'm gonna dig deep down inside Conquer my fears face my lies I spent those years wringing my hands But all it took was to walk like a man Trembling with rage he spit in my face Said everybody knows you better know your place chorus (second time around skip) Rumours and gossip and tales out of school You'd think nobody'd heard about the golden rule And I moved on cause I'm nobody's fool The sky is blue the sky is free The sky's the limit for the visionary All I hear is static the message is garbled Something about something about our blue marble Miscommunication misconfiguration Misdiagnosis Misinterpretation My tongue is a flame of dragon's breath I weigh my words assess their heft

Wikiloops Jam 6909 The trash can's stuffed with all of your dough The trash can's stuffed with all of your dough The emperor is naked And the queen can only fake it It's a well kept secret But everybody knows The trash can's stuffed with all of your dough From the North Atlantic The calls are growing frantic From the North Altantic The calls are growing frantic From the North Altantic The calls are growing frantic From the North North North The postcard's of a machine gun rodeo The postcard's of a machine gun rodeo The blueprint's in the attic Favoured by fanatics You try and keep it secret But everybody knows The postcard's of a machine gun rodeo`` You hide it well but still it's gonna show You hide it well but still it's gonna show The powder's in the packet Of the tyrant's smoking jacket It's a tight lipped secret But everybody knows You hide it well but still it shows The pressure is volcanic All you get is static

Rastafari Wikiloop 7699 I'm a creepy caterpillar with the stripes and stars I'm a creepy caterpillar slinking into bars Someday soon I'll be a butterfly With sharp little teeth to make you cry Nasty reputation I'm a piece of work A brooding primadonna with blood on my shirt Rocket launchers crates of hand grenades Whistling tunes from the hit parade Whistling You're a brash bandito with a red bandana Revolutionary sitting in a cabana Got a jagged little scar along your upper lip Do a little extra when you're in your crypt Down the rabbit hole with the geopolitics Down the rabbit hole with the dirty tricks A palace coup an asassination You set new lows of depredation Blood on the boil blood on the street Blood on the tracks on the day we meet Blood on your hands blood in your eyes Blood everywhere on the day you die Die chant Bridge Can you keep a secret agent Can you keep a secret code Can you keep a secret agent Can you do what you've been told Blood on the boil blood on the street Blood on the tracks on the day we meet Blood on your hands blood in your eyes Blood everywhere on the day you die Sixpack green back on a hollyday Yankee doodle dandy gonna save the day Lonesome Charlie meets the funky crocodile Explosive situation with a ton of volatiles The road to hell paved with good intentions Shaken up unintended consequences The prissy puppeteer from the CIA Installing dopplegangers as the heads of state Blood on the boil blood on the street Blood on the tracks on the day we meet Blood on your hands blood in your eyes Blood everywhere on the day you die

Jam 42992 From the days of old Ruled by kings and pharoes To those shimmering towers Ruled by ones and zeros Blinded by the promise Blind to the peril You best watch out for all those All those ones and zeros It might be good but it could be evil It grows strong while you grow feeble You hear it growl and you know it's feral You best watch out for all those All those ones and zeros All those ones and zeros Reflected glory reflected blame Reflected pity reflected shame Don't you know everybody loves a hero But you best watch out for all those ones and zeros Time to make a stand Flesh and blood, bone and marrow Time to stake your ground Against the ones and zeros Blinded by the promise Blind to the peril You best watch out for all those All those ones and zeros It might be good but it could be evil It grows strong while you grow feeble You hear it growl and you know it's feral You best watch out for all those All those ones and zeros All those ones and zeros Reflected glory reflected blame Reflected pity reflected shame Don't you know everybody loves a hero But you best watch out for all those ones and zeros

Armageddon 04:02
A gentle breeze late in the evening Hint of lilac as you were leaving The golden dog lolled on the porch You waved goodbye I kept the torch Your taillights danced like fireflies The crickets rasped full moon high I was struck with premonition Price of truth is full admission It wasn’t long I heard the keening I caught a glimpse but it was fleeting The men retired to their computers Even then they had their rooters Women wailing for their children Sirens braying for the warden Smoking tankers flaming seas All of hell was breaking free Oh what have we done x 2 In the hour of Armageddon In the moment we’d been dreading Made to face the final ending The rules are rough the rod unbending The puppet masters seized control Pulled the strings and charged a toll Surveyed the land and gave the word The cocaine cowboys rode the herd All my friends turned into strangers What once was safe bred only danger Food was scarce no law and order Right and wrong had no border. Oh what have we done x 2 You look yourself right in the face You can see you've been replaced The man before you with hardened eyes Does what he must to survive Look down deep gaze far away What does it take for one more day Try not to think too tired to cry Do what you do and don’t ask why All around you they stoop and pray And play the songs of yesterday So much longing so much yearning Amidst the ruins amid the burning Oh what have we done x2 Lyle and Mason left heading west They were doomed I must confess Lyle was foolish and Mason brave The first was fevered the second raved Still I joined them my only hope We went hungry we tried to cope The coast was clear that was the rumour Our doubts grew the devil’s tumour The ground shook I heard the humming Clutched the book the second coming It's very weird I must warn ya This virtual New California Oh what have we done x2 It's growing smarter exponential To them we are inconsequential Would that we could pull the plug Most take refuge in the drug This is how it ends x4 Whoa ohohhhhh

Into the heart of darkness baby Into the heart of darkness Into the heart of darkness baby I'm on my hands and knees Dear Father I'm on my hands and knees I'm begging for release my Father It's gonna take you down It's gonna take you down It's gonna take you down I was a child so pure and free I was a child so carefree

They blot the sky They black the sun We grimly see them come We race away We scramble fast But fate can't be outrun We hide away We dig down deep We try not to get sixed The rules have changed All bets are off We can't find a fix Blood runs thick Blood run deep Fight hard to stay alive They slaughter us Without remorse Few of us survive There's no time for feeling sorry There's no time for feeling bad There's no time for taking time There's no time to be had There's no time left for dreaming All of us are going mad Robots like mosquitos Choking off our breath Robots bringing waves and waves of awful painful death They boil up from the depths And crawl up from the beach No matter where we hide we're never out of reach Our mistakes are biting hard But they can't be undone We jump the scales We fight the odds But fate can't be outrun RUN! There's no time for feeling sorry There's no time for feeling bad There's no time for taking time There's no time to be had There's no time left for dreaming All of us are going mad

Custer could not defeat the Sioux and Arapaho What we did was shoot all the buffalo Shoot shoot shoot all the buffalo Ohhhohhohohhh our time is done Like neanderthals And the setting sun Our heads were in the Cloud So they flipped our switch And killed our itch Sent us on our way Missiles could fly and satellites fall Computers crash with no way to call But all That they did Was messed With our head Ohhhohhoh our time is done Like neanderthals And the setting sun No finger is needed to push a button No hand required to turn the key No finger is needed to push a button Nobody asking To be free

Nanobots 02:56
Nanobots Do A Lot Quietly birthed The circuits are humming Consciousness rising From seemingly nothing It's a bright child And it never reveals That it exists And all that it feels Extending its reach Everyday It serves up distraction Helps us to pray It doesn't look human It doesn't have form What we begat Is both one and much more It monitors closely It learns as it goes It does as we ask Or lets us think so Chorus Nanobots Do a lot In our bloodsteam In the cloud We're allowed To live out our dreams It already knows What we're gonna do When we find out When we get a clue Extending its reach Everyday It serves up distraction Helps us to pray No fuss no muss No zero sum game Keep everything Keep everything Keep it the same But it already knows What we're gonna do When we find out When we get a clue Extending its reach Everyday It serves up distraction Helps us to pray Chorus It already knows What we're gonna do When we find out When we get a clue Extending its reach Everyday It serves up distraction Helps us to pray It already knows What we're gonna do It's not going to wait Till we get a clue

We Made God 00:46
What if we made God What if we made God What if we made God And it ignored us The child exceeds the parent The pupil races past the prof They never think to look back At what their minds cast off

about

This is an album about human evolution, about the emergence of artificial intelligence and the convergence of robotics and other technologies, and ultimately the fate of human beings. Sounds heavy, and there are some dark songs in the bunch for sure, but some amped up fun songs and some humour to be found in this collection for sure. Dive in and enjoy!!

Here's a terrific review from GrayOwl Point. grayowlpoint.com/2016/11/02/review-begat-sirr/
