On The New Age of Humans (Dreams Are Free)

Try looking on the bright side
Everything must go
Yeah, well you made a few changes
How were you to know?
Try looking on the bright side

Sure you were warned
Choices may have grave consequences
But try looking on the bright side
Dreams are free
Wait and see

Try looking on the bright side
All you loved is gone
I wouldn’t worry about it
We’ve been here awhile
Let the new day dawn

Arrogant fools
Stumbling along
Leading the way
What could go wrong?

Once, brave and bold
We crawled out from the sea
Lights of heaven around us

Then we were blind
Suddenly we’ll see things much better

So try looking on the bright side
You were pretty rough
I hear you’re looking for new worlds
Wasn’t this enough?
Maybe not so much

I’m looking on the bright side
Yeah, dreams are free

There was hope in the promise of our coming
There is hope in the knowledge that we’re going

Try looking on the bright side
You have lost your minds
Such an exciting beginning
It’ll be just fine
Let the thing unwind

Say what you will
Do what you must
Spirited clay
Crumbling to dust

Once, brave and bold
You crawled out from the sea
Lights of heaven about you

Then you were blind
But suddenly you’ll see
The world’s much better without you

Try looking on the bright side

When you get the feeling that it doesn’t matter, but it has to. You need help! You need Relevance Butter!

Here’s Manny. Manny. Manny’s got that feeling – it just isn’t as pertinent as it used to be. He really needed it then. Times change. But they don’t change back to the time they were before the time they changed. Then Manny discovered Relevance Butter, right there next to the Amphetamine Dirt on the store shelves! Finally, Manny’s feeling is as pertinent as it ever was.

“Thank you, Germane Farms!” – Manny

Thrill to this Poison

Posted on by

No chaser, no fight.
No love in it, you’re ready for the bite.
No reason, no right.
Put a little blood in it, you’re the taster’s choice tonight.

You’re the angel going down.
You’re the cover of a magazine.

Beautiful, beautiful. You will make a kill with this.
Spit me out, spit me out – poison!

There’s the dead one crying out.
There’s the killer made into a star.

Burnin’ up, turnin’ on. We will get a thrill with this poison.
Suck me in, spit me out…

No chaser, no fight.
No love in it, you’re ready for the bite.
No reason, no right.
Put a little blood in it, you’re the taster’s choice tonight.

We’re the billions making waves…
We’re the blood stains on your bottom line…

Pull me in, turn me on. Is there any truth in this?
Burn me up, turn me on…

Spit me out, spit me out…
We will get a thrill from this poison. Poison!

No chaser, no fight.
No love in it, you’re ready for the bite.
No reason, no right.
Put a little blood in it, you’re the taster’s choice tonight.

You’re the taster’s choice tonight.
You’re the taster’s choice, yeah!

I Can Be Mad Now

Posted on by

You know the message but you can’t complain
Your heart was open when he made his claim
You can be mad now

You know you hate him but you’ll change your mind
These habits are hard to break
Now you rise up, now you go down on your knees

Ah, but you can be mad now.
Yeah, well you can be mad now.

There’s something oozing from the TV set
You can be mad now
It may be over but it ain’t done yet
You can be mad now

He’s gonna teach us how to be good pets
He so loves his animals locked in a cage chained to a trough all day

Be mad, be mad, be mad, be mad, be mad now!
I can, i can, i can, i can be mad now!

He knows we’ll listen ’cause we’ve heard too much
He knows we’ll fuck it ’cause it smells like love
You say you like the way he fills you up
But you know he’s a jealous god

Now you rise up, now you go down on your knees
Yeah, well you can be mad now.

Uh huh, when he knocks me down
I like to watch it ’cause i have no pride
I learn my lesson but i soon forget
I open up and let him deep inside

I really love it when he whips my flesh
These habits are hard to break
Now I rise up, now I go down on my knees

Be mad, be mad, be mad, be mad, be mad now!
I can, i can, i can, i can be mad now!

Can be mad
Can be mad
Can be mad
Candy man

Can be mad
Can be mad
Candy man
Candy man

Candy man
Candy man
Can be mad
Candy man

The Precognitive Music Library

Posted on by

A handful of people have had the audacity, after being served hour after hour of

Solid Product®   Reliable, Free, Solid™

to ask “Why is it so hard to purchase your music? Your site sucks”. They say this in all seriousness and with a straight face.

First, we want to thank you for the commentary. We will use it later in a piece. And second, our site does NOT suck. It just isn’t obvious to you how to purchase music on it. We understand that. We’ve heard it before.

We admit. It’s extremely difficult to purchase music on our site. We would like to explain this.

The site is more meant as an artful space and immersive musical experience. If you are unable to purchase albums, for whatever reason, just shoot us an email at info@precognitiverecords.com and we’ll hook you up. Happy to share the love.

That said, the site is not a difficult place, really. If you want to buy albums from us or one of our fine retail friends (ReR USA primarily), then you can figure it out. The secret is to use the menu at the top.

There you’ll find two links. They’re only obvious if you’re looking for them.

“Buy Albums (Direct Mail Order)”
buy albums from us via direct mail order

“Buy Albums (Retailers)”
buy our stuff from online stores, if you’d prefer

Clicking one of the “Buy Albums” links takes you to our Music Library. Here you can listen to full length sample tracks from the albums (where available), access their online streams (also full length), see the artwork, read the credits and commentary, etc. Most albums have streams you can listen to for free.

The Music Library is also where you can build a shopping cart and purchase our music, should that appeal. We want to note however that our true goal is not sales but art and technology. Oh, and ponies.

As multimedia design professionals, we want to make sure our site is the best it can be. We hope this has helped the next time, should you wish to make a purchase from Precognitive. In the meantime, and whenever, you can always listen to our music free at the link below.

Thanks for listening,

Your hosts at cWK40,
The Alien
