Operation Ivy

  
 Knowledge

I know things are getting tougher
When you cant get the top off the bottom of the barrel
Wide open road of my future now.
 Its looking fucking narrow

All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing

We get told to decide
Just like 

as if 
I'm not gonna change my mind

All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing

 
[Instrumental]

Whatcha gonna do with yourself
Boy better make up your mind
Whatcha gonna do with yourself
Boy running out of time

 
[Instrumental]

This time I got it all figured out

All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing

All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing

And that's fine


 Sound System 

 [Intro]

 Sound system gonna bring me back up (yea!)
One thing that I can depend on


Sound system gonna bring me back up (right!)
One thing that I can depend on

Try to describe to the limit of my ability:

Its there for a second
Then it's given up what it used to be

Contained in music somehow more than just sound

This inspiration coming and twisting things around

Because you always know that it's gonna have to go

You always know that you'll be back in the cold.


Point of departure sublimated in a song
Its always coming to give me that hope for just a second
Then it's gone, but!

Sound system gonna bring me back up (yea!)

One thing that I can depend on


Sound system gonna bring me back up (right!)
One thing that I can depend on

Static pulse inside of music bringing us escape.

Its always temporary, changing nothing in its wake...


Just a second where we're leaving all this shit behind
Just a second but its leaving just this much in mind:

To resist despair, that second makes you see

To resist despair, because you can't change everything
To resist despair, in this world is

What it is

What it is

to be free

Sound system gonna bring me back up (right!)

One thing that I can depend on


Sound system gonna bring me back up (yea!)
One thing that I can depend on

hu hu hu hu


Pick it up (x8) 

Sound System

Sound!
System!

Sound!
System!

Wake up turn my box on

Bust the shade, let the sun in
Times getting tougher 'bout time to start runnin'

Box in my hand music by my side
Skankin' to the rhythm of the music by my side

Sound system gonna bring me back up (yea!)

One thing that I can depend on


Sound system gonna bring me back up (right!)
One thing that I can depend on

Sound system gonna bring me back up (right!)

One thing that I can depend on


Sound system gonna bring me back up (yea!)
One thing that I can depend on

Sound!
System!

Sound!
System!

freeze Up





Empty factories to the east and all our waste
The shape of things that came shows on the broken workers face


To the west you'll find our silicon promised lands where
Machines replace our minds for systematic profit plans


The course of human progress staggers like a drunk
Its steps are quick and heavy and its mind is slow and blunt


I look for optimism but I just dont know
Its seeds are planted in a poison place where nothing grows

[Chorus]


It's 1989 stand up and take a look around
Weathers bitter tension it seems is sinking down

Drunk with power and fighting one another
Every hour shows the winter getting harder

There's a freeze up coming... [ad libs]

One nation stands the tallest radiating blinding light
Plastic and fluorescent energy robbing us of sight


Set in our way content with our decay
We wave the flag of freedom as we conquer and invade


Ever ask yourself where's my place in this hell
But no ones there to tell you cuz they dont know that themselves


The well rehearsed lines from our elated politicians
No longer offer solace we can see the self destruction

[Chorus]

It's 1989 stand up and take a look around
Weathers bitter tension it seems is sinking down

Drunk with power and fighting one another
Every hour shows the winter getting harder

There's a freeze up coming... [ad libs]

[Instrumental]

Just one political song, just one political song
to drop into the list that stretches years and years long
[x2]

Static and division is increasing like a storm,
we are shelter, 

we are forewarned,
nothing can be changed except ourselves,
nothing can be changed except ourselves,

There's a freeze up coming... [ad libs]
