lyrics
THE DEEP STATE
switch my breakfast on and onwards/repetitive strained eye movements
around around it/until you are dumbed up the rite way/
pubic schools must keep faith up the arse of least resistance/
Tiberius ruled minnowing his history boys in bubbly
hush with money and the unexplained death of dogs we entered a deep stateπ
in the depth of the Tate modernist state/behold the magic meat
a brain of Anthony Blair is exposed/his sacrament deprives them of their bodies/
the inconvenient brown people/dowse over their dusty cellars gripping magic bones/
I can’t quite fry the Bilderbergers who give me stelazine and dog-breath
so do his brain/so doable/I’m down/I’m down here as Dumbo/in such a state
dig it down/bunkers under Chelsea for oligarchitects of-oil oi oi!
they come across/all over the Little Queenie/like the patience of spiders
morphic attractors driving change from futures marketing
owners of the elite the deep fuckers fake over their dungeon for Kirstie
install her pony-fat for a good hiding in the smart art-of-the state
the deep statecraft cruises my secret space ways the inner earways
infested with electric ants/those throaty microphonic
dub me with a statement/voice-pox/does in my amygdala
installs a dark mandala back of the eyeballs gone googly
to match your profile ALERT! you are re-entering a right state
TORMENT OF THE BASILISK! twittering to the death of millions/
the glitter of new micro-nukes/in the glare of an eyeball
I was obsessed by the deep state of ‘Burlington’/pyramid of official toilet rolls
fossils of atomic chairman/dusting the red phones to dial up a Jezebel Spirit /
Green aliens scrabble in the deep cabinets to find last words WE ENTERED A DEEP STATE
