Material Change
Pigfarmer Jr

Thirteen point eight billion years
And this is what we end up with?
The left and the right, two sides of a coin
They push us all right over the cliff

From helium and hydrogen
After billions of years we end up here
From helium and hydrogen
If there is a god you'd think he could do it better

Hypocrisy that knows now bounds
Lip service to their voting base
Dishonesty, deceitfulness
I don't know how much more we can take

From helium and hydrogen
After billions of years we end up here
From helium and hydrogen
If there is a god...

Material change is what we need
A little more or a little less gravity
Material change is what we need
Join together and vote third party

From helium and hydrogen
After billions of years we end up here
From helium and hydrogen
If there is a god you'd think he could do it better

Material Change
Andy Balham w/lyrics by J$

Little man in your wife's dress
Got to say that I’m impressed
Oh so brave, don’t find it strange
You’ve made a material change

Good for you, now go hack off
Those people who aren’t that bright
Let them hate and let them rant
They will not see what’ is right

We are trapped in a conservative world
And you're my material girl
Don’t know why we’re living in a conservative world
But you are material boy

Cool woman it’s so plain to see
However you identify, that’s ok by me
Not the same, don’t be ashamed
It’s just a material change

Let them cry and tell dumb lies ‘cos
They lack required mental range
You’re not the same as you once were
So what? people change

We were born into immaterial world
Time for a material change
We were born into immaterial world
Time for a material change

Material Change
Watching Owls

Look at me now
I am cold
and bored
Say what you will
I am through
paying dues

Hollow words
Saying what I wish I was
They'll never break
the hold of this metal vale

A little old
What can I do?
I wonder what I'd be
if I never knew.

From little shakes
does magic spin.
I wonder what I'd say
if I was braver then.

Ooh, understand, love
I'm not ready for this
Are you ever ready to live?
Ooh, make me sigh, live
Burned up too many days
not chasing love.

(Instrumental bridge)

Ooh, understand, love
I'm not ready for this
Are you ever ready to live?
Ooh, make me sigh, live
Burned up too many days
not chasing love.

Let me look in your eyes
Tell me it's alright
I want to tell you where I've been
And then I want to start again

Material Change
the pannacotta army

I don’t need bias opinions
I don’t need fake promises
Let’s think about the future
There’s so much more than this

I wanna get moving, not wait
I don’t wanna leave it too late
I wanna turn over a new page
I wanna material change

I don’t want to hear the secrets
You whisper to your friends
I don’t want to know the details
Of your country weekends

I wanna do something, not wait
I wanna get out there before it’s too late
I wanna turn over a new page
I wanna material change

I don’t care about your approval
I don’t care what you subscribe
Too much self-adoration
Just fucks you up inside

I wanna do something, not wait
I wanna get out there before it’s too late
I wanna turn over a new page
I wanna material change

Material Change
Sockpuppet

Reupholster me into leather or pleather
Make me watertight for any kind of weather

Wouldn't I be nice made of plush or of ice
You have my permission, don’t have to ask twice

Take me apart and use me as a toy
Make my only purpose to bring people joy

Polish me up to make me shiny and clean
I’m your willing servant please be my new queen


Once was a human long ago
But now this is all that I know
Every change brings an afterglow
What a wonderful way to go


Look me in the eyes and turn me into stone
Chisel me down and sit on me as a throne

Give my second skin somewhere I can begin
Reshape me into something with a dorsal fin

Carve me out of wood, make me a work of art
Paint me with pictures of my old broken heart

Please do not forget what I used to be
And please don’t forget to always love me


Once was a human long ago
But now this is all that I know
Every change brings an afterglow
What a wonderful way to go


Reupholster me it would bring me such pleasure
Maybe make me a pooltoy for bright sunny weather

Wear me like a costume so that you can be me
Make all of my decisions so I can be free

You took me apart and used me as a toy
I can’t remember if I was a girl or boy

Please do not forget what I used to be
And please don’t forget to always love me


Once was a human long ago
But now this is all that I know
Every change brings an afterglow
What a wonderful way to go
Oh oh

Phlub

Watching things change from one form to another
The light consumes my material form
Astral reflections of long-forgotten actions
See how it feels as another human

Karmic debt package, signed, sealed, and delivered
Predict the alignment of Saturn and Mars
Now you embody the state of the image
Symbols remain - your body's at large

You manifest from the law of mind action
You are merely condensed vibration
Chaos attractor of conscious behavior
Topology of the ethereal waves

So good together most of the time
We aren't always exactly right
It takes concerted effort
To keep love shining bright

Though we don't always meet eye to eye
We’ll be together the rest of our lives

We had some good times
Material Change
They felt so damn good
Material Change
We had some hard times
Material Change
We felt misunderstood
Material Change

Some things just feel so right
Your skin against my skin
You keep to yourself at night
and nobody wins

Though we don't always meet eye to eye
We’ll be together the rest of our lives

We had some good times
Material Change
They felt so damn good
Material Change
We had some hard times
Material Change
We felt misunderstood
Material Change

You changed the rules
You started this fight
We looked like fools
All due to spite

We had some good times
Material Change
They felt so damn good
Material Change
We had some hard times
Material Change
We felt misunderstood

Material Change by The JBB

How long has it been
Since we heard that again
The old refrain
Things were better then

Things were better then
We were united then
One nation under god
The god of white men

You think I’m dumb I’m a suma cum
It’s a zero sum And who’s got the guns?
It’s a zero sum I’m a suck my thumb
So fucking dumb You got all the guns

The mid nineteenth
was the fucking worst
You disagree,
you placed it fucking first

So we’ll never see
material change
Why are you so fucking
so fucking strange?

You think I’m dumb I’m a suma cum
It’s a zero sum And who’s got the guns?
It’s a zero sum I’m a suck my thumb
So fucking dumb You got all the guns

Baby don’t be so sad
Give me a smile
Things aren’t so bad
Sweetcheeks

Girl be a dear
Give me a child
You got nothing to fear
For 36 weeks

You think I’m dumb I’m a suma cum
It’s a zero sum And who’s got the guns?
It’s a zero sum I’m a suck my thumb
So fucking dumb You got all the guns

Material Change - Hot Pink Halo

***

Head out on to the stage
Take your seat and play the rest
Time stretches and it warps and reverberates
As you put everybody to the test

Look ahead, close the lid
Sit there in silence
When you open a can of worms
There’s always somthing to be heard

And do you dream of invisible sounds?
Look to the left, up and down and all around
Pay attention throw open your cage
You might just see a material change

Greet the darkness in a space
Find your place and take the test
Matter moves and it shifts and annihilates
As our faculties are dispossessed

Look inside, hear yourself
Get lost in the violence
When you close off all the routes
You head inside just to get out

And do you dream of invisible sounds?
Look to the left, up and down and all around
Pay attention throw open your cage
You might just see a material change

A material change
Devil’s got me Lindt! Devil’s got me Lindt!

Brainpipe - Material Change

Do you know what you want?
I do
Material Change
What's that?

Nature constantly wears away its own. Left to themselves, materials eventually decay. The pitted side of a rock, the rotting wood of a fencepost, and the rusting odds and ends of the neighboorhood junkyard all bear testimony to the destructive forces of air, wind, and water.

Water water water water water
Water
And an agent of change

Here we see what happens when an ordinary nail is left outdoors for a long period. As time goes on, the iron returns to its natural form, iron oxide - just plain rust to you and me.

Material Change

Then there's the surface finish of the automobile, subjected to all kinds of weather. To mud, water, sand. To soot and smoke from city chimneys, which cover the surface with a film of gritty, scratching particles.

Material Change
Change
Material Change
Change

Snow, rain or sleet do their best to dull the gloss, and even in clear weather, there's always the gentle dew, another enemy of the finish.

Dew dew dew
Gentle agent of change
Change
Material Change
