HaSkaLA
Calling all Rude Girls! Paging all Rude Boys!
Prepare to dance or die!
HaSkaLA is here, and this is where, we make you lose your fear
HaSkaLA is here, and you are there, so meet us on the floor.
HaSkaLA
HaSkaLA means Light. HaSkaLA don't fight- unless it's for your Rights.
Your right to bliss, your right to this, and this means: Dance or Die.
Dance or Die. Don't ask us why. HaSkaLA don't make the rules.
We break the rules. We play like fools. The fools who make you smile.
We make you sweat, we make you smile, and that's our only crime...
HaSkaLA
Is anybody gonna dance with?
At least sing along with me:
HaSkaLA!
Obscene Love-Machine Supreme
My 1st assumption and my last mistake, that true love waits- oh yeah
I know it sounds obscene, but you and I are Suicide Machines- Obscene Machines
The World can testify, the love we had was a gift I failed to unwrap- and that's a fact
I know it sounds obscene, but you and I are similar machines- machines obscene
Chorus:
But hold on, hold-up, hold me now
We shall overcome- ourselves
I'll forgive you, you'll forgive me
We will work this out
Don't you give-up, don't you cry, don't you say bye-bye
This is only temporary- love you can't deny
All this pain, all this sorrow, we will be one by tomorrow
My last assumption, and my first mistake, that true love's always true
It's up to me and you, to make it true, and bring it back again, or it's the end, my friend
The things we'd rectify, sanctify, if we get past your rage, my pride
I know it sounds obscene, but you and I are Suicide Machines- machines obscene
Chorus
My last assumption, and my last attempt, before you deem us through
Remember us at our best, 'cause even at our worst- you loved me best, it's true- you fool
I know you know, that I know. I know, I know, I know- that I love you.
You loved me too- you fool.
Take my hand, you'll understand, my love is strong enough to pull us through- and that's my vow to you
I know it sounds obscene, but you and I were a Love Machine Supreme!
Machine Supreme

Chorus
More Is More
There once was a man who claimed to live for Love
He wrote epic poems about his Lonely Heart
He sang epic songs 'bout how he'd die for Love
He found his One True Love, then left her for a whore
Chorus:
Don't you want to be happy? No, no one really does.
Want to be loved? No one really does.
Want to live your dream? No, no one really does.
Practice what you preach? No one really does. No one really does. No one really does. No one but me.
More is more not less is more. More is more not less is more. More is more not less is more. More is more. More is more. More. More. More. More. More.
There once was a girl who said she wanted more.
She waited for a Prince to drag a dragon to her door.
I slayed me a big 'un and dragged it to her door.
She just rolled her eyes, and told me: "Less is more!"
Chorus
There once was a You. There once was a Me.
There once was an Us. And now there's a We.
I promise this to you. I promise this to thee.
If you stand by me, we'll name our baby Integrity.

Woke-Up. Wake-Up!
Woke up this morning to a world gone mad
Woke up this morning and I wished I never had
Woke up this morning to a world I can't understand
Woke up this morning to the death of Uncle Sam
There was a law telling me how to tie my shoes
There was a law telling me not to be amused
Chorus:
Sing for what we lost and what we have to gain
Sing for your Soul before they take it all away
Sing for your life and Lady Liberty
She's been bound and gagged but the lady can be saved
Woke-up. Wake-up!
Wake-up! Woke-up.
There was a tax on the right to sneeze
There was a tax on the air we breathe
There was a tax on the tax for the tax
There was a tax for attacking the tax
I tried to read a book but the good ones had been banned
I tried to sing this song but my band had been banned
Chorus
When I go to sleep I dream of better days
I seem to remember there was once another way
I seem to remember it had something to do with me
I seem to remember it had something to with free
Woke-up, wake-up, Wake-Up, WAKE-UP!
Woke up this morning to a world gone mad
Woke up this morning and I wished I never had
Woke up this morning to a world I can't understand
Woke up this morning to the death of Uncle Sam
There was a law telling me how to tie my shoes
There was a law telling me not to be amused
Chorus:
Sing for what we lost and what we have to gain
Sing for your Soul before they take it all away
Sing for your life and Lady Liberty
She's been bound and gagged but the lady can be saved
Woke-up. Wake-up!
Wake-up! Woke-up.
There was a tax on the right to sneeze
There was a tax on the air we breathe
There was a tax on the tax for the tax
There was a tax for attacking the tax

Chorus
When I go to sleep I dream of better days
I seem to remember there was once another way
I seem to remember it had something to do with me
I seem to remember it had something to with free
Woke-up, wake-up, Wake-Up, WAKE-UP!
Cyrano's Nose
Like "Invictus" William Henley's poem- Master of my Fate, I'm Captain of my Soul
'Cause my heart is bigger than Cyrano's nose, my rhymes are tighter than a Haiku poem
Life is shorter than a garden gnome. Gonna milk it, 'till the cows come home
Better than money- Better than fame
Better than playing Society's game
Better than ice cream, better than sex
I'm talking 'bout Music and a song like this
Chorus:
If you ain't buyin' you can't be bought or sold
If you ain't lyin' then you'll never grow old
The only way out, is never opt in
You got your guns, I have my pen
Truth is on my side, let's see who wins
Who wins.
Now where was I before the chorus hit? I was talkin' 'bout some crazy shit
Yeah, my testes are bigger than Einstein's brain, my wee-wee is longer than Ahmadinejad's name
My rhymes are retarded, my voice is lame
But I got the mic, and clearly, I have no shame
Better than glory- better than game
Better than living your life in pain
Better than brownies, better than sex
I'm talking 'bout Love and a song like this
Chorus
Now every "ism" and every God crushing millions for their Cause
In every generation the battle's the same, strike a match then fan the flame
The State wants your body, the Church wants your Soul
Hold fast to your dreams, reject all control
Better than religion- better than blame
Better than living your life in shame
Better than cupcakes- better than sex
I'm talking 'bout Life and a song like this...

Chorus
Our Love (is a Car Crash)
When the lights go out- we're perfect
But when the lights come on- I'm nervous
When the lights go out- we're merging
But when the lights come on- diverging
There's Honesty- then there's you
There's Beauty- then there's me
There's Harmony- then there's you and me
Chorus:
Red Flags- Red Lights
Stop Signs- Stop Lights
Won't stop us from this car crash
Our love is a car crash
When the lights go out- we're ideal
But when the lights come on- it's unreal
When the lights go out- atomic
But when the lights come on- bubonic
There's Integrity- then there's you
There's Sanity- then there's me
There's Harmony then there's you and me
Chorus
When the lights go out- we're Soulmates
But when the lights come on- it's checkmate
When the lights go out- you'd marry me
But when the lights come on- you'd kill me
There's Truth- then there's you
There's Security- then there's me
There's True Love- then there's you and me
Chorus
When the lights go out- we're perfect
But when the lights come on- I'm nervous
When the lights go out- we're merging
But when the lights come on- diverging
There's Honesty- then there's you
There's Beauty- then there's me
There's Harmony- then there's you and me
Chorus:
Red Flags- Red Lights
Stop Signs- Stop Lights
Won't stop us from this car crash
Our love is a car crash
When the lights go out- we're ideal
But when the lights come on- it's unreal
When the lights go out- atomic
But when the lights come on- bubonic
There's Integrity- then there's you
There's Sanity- then there's me
There's Harmony then there's you and me
Chorus
When the lights go out- we're Soulmates
But when the lights come on- it's checkmate
When the lights go out- you'd marry me

There's Truth- then there's you
There's Security- then there's me
There's True Love- then there's you and me
Chorus
Neither Her (Nor There)
Chorus:
A-E-I-O-U and sometimes I ask Why?
There's no "there" there anymore
If you dismiss this- you can kiss this all goodbye
10 miles away- we are light years apart
If you dismiss this- missed till our dying day
Light years apart- one phone call away
Chorus
I could offer up my Soul- there's no one to receive
I could climb the China Wall- there's no one to perceive
I could finally see the Light- there's no one to believe
Thought we were a special breed- I was the one deceived
Chorus
No I'm not my Brother's Keeper- 'cuz no one should be kept
I could scheme 1000 schemes- I could dream 1000 dreams
I could pray 1000 prayers- but I ain't a Praying Man-tis
No I'm just singing to myself- I'm just singing to myself
10 miles away we are light years apart
There's no "there" there anymore
Chorus:
A-E-I-O-U and sometimes I ask Why?
There's no "there" there anymore
If you dismiss this- you can kiss this all goodbye
10 miles away- we are light years apart
If you dismiss this- missed till our dying day
Light years apart- one phone call away
Chorus

Chorus
No I'm not my Brother's Keeper- 'cuz no one should be kept
I could scheme 1000 schemes- I could dream 1000 dreams
I could pray 1000 prayers- but I ain't a Praying Man-tis
No I'm just singing to myself- I'm just singing to myself
10 miles away we are light years apart
There's no "there" there anymore
