Look Away (ft. Terence McKenna)
[Intro]
It's very easy to smooth it all out and say, you know
That the Pentagon runs it all and so forth and so on
But once you start digging
I mean, the world is a labyrinth
A sponge of interconnected labyrinthine interstices
The weirdest connections
You know, who knew who, and what they were doing about it
And then, you know, these – these reports that come in, you know
And some are false, and some are true
But the sum total of it all is to paint a picture of excruciating weirdness
Excruciating weirdness
Excruciating weirdness
People are just pushing the right buttons
I guarantee you, you take five dried grams of psilocybin in silent darkness

What is Going On? (ft. Terence McKenna)
I think life is tremendously tenacious
And has an immense capacity to organize itself to meet
Any crisis provided it knows it's coming
There are scars on this planet
Enormous scars
There's a scar a billion and a half years old on the Canadian Shield that is twice the size of the lunar crater Copernicus
[Chorus]
Now, what is going on?
What is going on?
What is going on?
What IS going on?
Now, what is going on?
What is going on?
What is going on?
What IS going on?
This thing that came down 50,000 years ago out near Flagstaff, Arizona
That was a tiny object
It was something like 30 meters across
It was moving nine times the speed of a rifle bullet
Haunted Planet (ft. Terence McKenna)
One scenario for solving our problem
Is a mass migration into the past
We could literally dump this whole scene
And go 100 million years into the past of the planet
And set up there, and set up there
In a confined zone
If it were only 10,000-years deep, it would never show in any fossil record
If we held ourselves to a 10,000-year wide window, that's such a brief period of time
And so long ago, that we would basically just appear to have disappeared
[Chorus]
I think this is a haunted planet
And we are a haunted species
I think this is a haunted planet
And we are a haunted species
Every solid body in the solar system is heavily cratered
I think this is a haunted planet
And we are a haunted species

From the Trees to the Starship (ft. Terence McKenna)
[Intro]
History is just a 25,000-year dash
From the trees to the starship
History is just a 25,000-year dash
From the trees to the starship
And while it's going on, it's wild and wooly
But it only lasts like that
And then you you're in the starship
And then you're in the starship
And then you're in the starship
And then you're in the starship
And then you're in the starship
Because we are like bacteria or something, in the shortness of our lifespan
To us, 25,000 years, you can get lost in the middle of that and you can't see either end
But from the point of view of a species, it's just instantaneous

How to Make Money Out of Saving the World (ft. Terence McKenna)
In spite of my nature boy, thrust in most contexts
I'm very interested in virtual reality and the idea of making the imagination explicate
Or interiorizing the exterior world
One vision that I've had of the kind of future utopia is
It opens on a world which looks like our world of 10,000 years ago
People live tribally, they are physically perfect, they're naked, they want for nothing
They appear to have no material culture whatsoever
Then when you shift your point of view so that you're inside one of these people's heads
You discover that when they close their eyes, there are menus
Hanging in space in front of them
And by glancing at these menus with a certain intensity
They are able to make their way into a culture
That is entirely three dimensionally present for them, but which nowhere impinges on the world of three dimensional space
Sort of the idea that you could have the Vatican Library installed optionally when you have dental work
I don't think this is that far-fetched I mean, a lot of money is going towards this

The Archaic Revival (ft. Terence McKenna)
The way I think of the psychedelics is
They are catalysts to the imagination
They were back 100,000 years ago
The imagination, which was just this glimmering
This iridescence on the surface of ape cognition
Was under the influence of the reciprocal feedback of self-reflection
That is created by watching your own mind
Watching your own mind
Watching your own mind
Watching your own mind
Because it has suddenly become interesting
Because it has suddenly been flooded by a psychoactive aiming, that iridescence
Has been coaxed into language, art, to architecture, music, poetry
The whole ball of whack
But now, we know these things
We can uncover the secret of our origin (of our origin)
I'm very keen for the notion of what I call the archaic revival
And the archaic revival is this overarching metaphor
That is the way for us to go to save our necks at this point
When a culture gets into trouble
Instinctively what it does is it goes back through its own past
Until it finds a moment where things seemed to make sense
And then it

Meme Magic (ft. Terence McKenna)
I should make it clear, you know, I don't believe this stuff
I find believing in these high-flown, complicated, synthetic systems to come off sort of like pathology
So, I entertain ideas
But I don't give the leaf over
What I do
I'm a meme spreader (meme spreader)
What, what I do
I'm a meme spreader (meme spreader)
What, what, what I do
I'm a meme spreader (meme spreader) (meme spreader) (meme spreader)
A meme replicator
Naturally, this question arose in our group
Why us? Why us?
Why are the aliens revealing the unified field theory of space and time to us?
And the mushroom just replied without hesitation
"Because you don't believe in anything"
And that apparently, is what's required (what's required) (what's required)
Do y'all know that Van Morrison song about no guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and me and nature in the garden? (In the garden?)
I think that's actually where it's at

The Genius of the Crowd (ft. Charles Bukowski)
The genius of the crowd
(Akira)
There is enough
Treachery, hatred, violence, absurdity
In the average human being
To supply any given army on any given day
Any given army on any given day
And the best at murder
Are those who preach against it
And the best at hate
Are those who preach love
And the best at war
Finally
Are those who preach peace
[Chorus]
Those who preach God
Need God
Those who preach peace, do not have peace
Those who preach love, do not have love
Beware the preachers
Beware the knowers
