ATA I wrote my prophecies as songs

Maybe it's weird, I dunno but dreams/premonitions/prognostications come out of me in song form.

Computers/1983:

This is the dawning of the age, where computers are the rage
They can do everything faster, mankind says he is their master
Now you can figure anything out and you can play your video games
But when you are convicted who is there to blame?
Big brother
They've got all the facts on you how much income and what you like to do
Where you've been and who you've been seen with
Computers are harmless? I tell you that's a myth
People use them and they will abuse them
Turn your world inside out
Keep an eye on computers that's what I'm talking about
Big brother
No one listened it's the same as always
Mankind must live to serve regimes
Only now it's a little bit different
Because now we live to serve machines
They control all important functions
Make decisions by computing the odds
We have entered into dark ages
When our creations have become our Gods

Yeah, I have recordings but no way to post the songs here.

Consummation/1990

Use use use that's all we do
Expend the Earth expend yourselves
No this ain't the real thing it's f*king horror show
And the smell of industry is evil beyond words
We're knee deep in trash and no one gives a damn
And the people in our government are glad to let it happen
Cuz everybody stays employed while the corporations grow
Creating spew that we all buy to make this horror show
Reality
I want to wake up but I can't close my eyes
I can see my fate now I'm becoming civilized
I have been consumed
Made of plastic made of steel
Made to the order made not to feel
Made not to think made not to see
Made into something
That was not meant to be

Eaten alive our damnation
Replaced by waste this is consummation
Use and destroy waste and degrade
A giant spinning trash heap
Look at what we've made
Is this consummation our final destination
To become a nation made of #?

If anyone is still reading I'll give you a 3rd.
Politics!

D.C. Death City/1991:

Embalmed in white across the river
As you pass the Pentagon
On my left are buried soldiers
Every war helps to feed the lawn
Big white phallus reaching high
Looms in to the dinghy sky
Everywhere you look you will see death
Inside of Washington, DC
Death City
More prostitutes per capita than any place on Earth
1 cubic mile of marble man you tell me what it's worth
A town dressed proud to fool the crowd
Embalmed in white just like a shroud
A shroud of death that's meant to hide
All the evil held inside of
Washington DC
Death city
All these big decisions made in these surroundings
Who could help but turn corrupt while living with the dead?
Monuments and documents the city of the damned
The corporate feudal city state that rules over this land
Washington DC
Death City

I have hundreds but these struck as the better ones. I think most of us are wondering if we are entering the new dark ages where evil seems to stalk the world.

Okay John.

1983, when the internet was still connecting over the land-line, that's was indeed farsighted...

Some pretty heavy stuff, did you have a music-genre in mind on any of these?

Rock/punk/metal and Zappa/Beefheart (Weird rock)
Kinda all over the place?
That's the advantage of being a poor artist/musician.
You just go where you feel led.
ETa: I guess these were topical, a reaction against the let's party/fast cars/love themes that dominated most of what you heard on the radio. I was too serious was the constant comment I would get. There was a price to pay for following our own ambitions and disregarding things we took for granted. Nobody wants to hear it even now (mostly).

I Can Hear in my mind Zappa doing all of those.
Spot on.

Joe's Garage permanently altered me. If you try to count Keep it Greasy you may lose your mind too.

Pretty racist if your looking for opinions. SoundCloud and a hyperlink aren’t hard to use either. a reply to: Asktheanimals

My reading comprehension is pretty good but I'm not following you at all.
What is racist?
Links to what? cassette tapes?
I'm from the ancient past.

Since you wanted something racist

Young Rambo/1987

Crosses burning in the field
Hide your face behind a shield
A stupid f*kng pointed mask
Supremacy is what you ask
"Let's all keep America White!"
"we're armed we're scared we're set to fight
We're gonna set this country right by eliminating YOU!

They don't want minorities here
The truth is all they have to fear
Your different skin is what they hate
To put you down makes them feel great
But wait, the story gets even worse

Humanity they can't abide they think that God is one their side
Their favorite sports are genocide and calling people names
Pity their kids who cannot know they being raised as young Rambos
Destined to die in Idaho for their parents' insecurities

Young rambo gotta learn to kill
Young rambo white supremacy thrill
Up in Idaho start a new white land
Little GI Joe gotta be like dad

So all you pricks in the KKK
Bet you wanna kill me for the things I say
All the guns in the world won't change the truth
Your child is a member of the new Hitler youth
Be a man and quit the klan
Love your kids while still can
We have no use for your child abuse
Hope it's not too late for young rambo
Gotta be like dad
Gonna be like dead

Don't worry, I was equally hard on televangelists and skinheads. This was a prediction I'm glad didn't come true. Back in the 80's it looked like White separatists were moving out to Idaho and would eventually end up in armed confrontation with the Feds. Any kids drug along would be subjected to child abuse in my opinion, not sure what else you would term teaching racist ideology to your kids.
