LYRICS: Fight! Fight! The ending my be nigh Gather your strength for the future of mankind First we built toasters and then we built TVs But soon we’ll be ruled by our own technology They cannot enslave us Someone must save us from -- Robotron 2084 Robotron 2084 Robotron 2084 Robotron 2084 Blood! Blood! Flowing everywhere Flooding the streets and then covering kittens I hear their screams and then I feel their meows If they want these streets, they’ll have to get through me now Just when all seems hopeless The hero approaches Robotron 2084 Robotron 2084 Robotron 2084 Robotron 2084

LYRICS: I am iron, I am fury I am angry, I am fifteen Another high school runaway Another lost child astray My life was not complete Until I saw this chocolate treat The tasty desert called my name I am reborn inside its flame My allegiance goes to no church or school I will only live for the -- Chocolate Moose, Chocolate Moose Will you ever set me loose? Chocolate Moose, Chocolate Moose I can eat you ‘til I puke Chocolate Moose, Chocolate Moose You’re a train with no caboose Chocolate Moose, Chocolate Moose, Chocolate -- Chocolate fire runs through me Endless godlike energy No religion tastes this good, As tartar and sugar should Now the time has come for you Can’t you hear it calling too? Armies of the disillusioned, Join together now in union My soul does not need any chicken soup I will only live for the -- Chocolate Moose, Chocolate Moose Will you ever set me loose? Chocolate Moose, Chocolate Moose, I can eat you ‘til I puke Chocolate Moose, Chocolate Moose I cannot read Dr. Seuss because of the Chocolate Moose, Chocolate Moose, Chocolate -- It’s just a sinking, drowning feeling That I get while I am dreaming Floating in a sea of chocolate Chased by vikings, sharks and goblins Then within my darkest hour Comes a moose with godlike powers Riding on my savior of chocolate On we soar toward Valhalla

Jazz 03:38
LYRICS: You stay up all night, listening to all that racket Go and get a job and wear a tie and a jacket Cut your hair and get a pair of glasses Don’t go out skateboarding and fall on your asses Face the world with some pizzaz Stop listening to all that -- Jazz! Jazz! Jazz! Now you have kids but no healthcare package You can’t even afford to make a ham and cheese sandwhich Your kids have grown up Don’t you want to retire? Can’t you go to Florida and put out your fire? Move back to Deutschland with Mom and Dad Stop listening to all that -- Jazz! Jazz! Jazz! Jazz! Jazz! Jazz! Can’t anyone stop that -- Live by the beach Where everyone has a tie and jacket With your money and your healthcare package Sit by the sea with your ham & cheese sandwhich (Here come the wiseman with the eye cobra Here come the doctor with the jazz soldier) Why must you have all that jazz? Can anything stop the jazz? No.

StarNuns 04:44
LYRICS: Buildings come crashing down Nations burn to the ground The little green men have arrived Armies are all destroyed Police rendered null and void But one last hope still survives No one thought they’d fight. No one thought they’d die But tonight’s the night when penguins shall fly (Pre-Chorus) Strapping on their cloven habits Taking their sacred vows Marching through their mighty convents Raising their rulers out Unleashing a colossal force That not even God can stop There’s no way to hold them back The nuns will conquer the stars Lazers and missiles fly, Cannons shoot through the sky But nuns have the holiest hand grenades Outnumbered by spacecraft, Their rulers break in half But they won’t retreat on this day No one thought they’d fight No one thought they’d die But tonight’s the night when penguins shall fly (Repeat Pre-Chorus) (Chorus) The nuns conquer the stars! (x4) I am a child of the war, Born from blood spilt on the shore Part alien, part nun, And one quarter Italian I wield my ruler with great skill Slapping the wrists of all evil They died for freedom and for peace And so now their victory Is always in our memory Can’t you hear the schoolgirls sing Chanting until they’re fainting -- (Repeat Chorus)

LYRICS: How can we sow the seeds of knowledge If we have no fertile ground? If the kids can’t read in the forest Will they still not make a sound? Who will teach the children to read? Certainly not our schools They’re full of braindead zombie freaks Who breed non-reading fools The Children Can’t Read (x6) They’re all illiterate (All illiterate) The next time you take a Sunday drive Try to read the signs you’re passing by “Stop,” “No Parking,” “No Diving in the Pool” It’s more than what some kids read during high school Let’s go to the library! No, wait what’s the point? None of us can read a word in the whole freaking joint The Children Can’t Read (x6) They’re all illiterate (All illiterate) What we need is understanding During the fast part of the song Let’s write the wrongs before us So they’re no longer wrong Take a look, it’s in a book Like the blind guy in Star Trek said Read a book, read a book Literacy cannot be dead The Children Can’t Read (All illiterate) (x6) They’re all illiterate (All illiterate)

Ringmaster 03:02
LYRICS: Jeffrey was lonely, he did not have friends They kicked him and poked him Teased him to no end He dreamed of the circus all days of the year To jump on a trampoline And make the crowd cheer -- Louder than the siren’s roar Or Alvin, Simon and Theodore He bought a trampoline and bounced into space And the whole world saw him on that day All of the lonely, the strange and the weird Now found a leader to make the world hear -- Louder than the siren’s roar Or Alvin, Simon and Theodore Jeffrey died that same night Falling from that great height His landing was not safe He looked like a pancake Midgets, lions and clowns Were nowhere to be found But then there came a great sound They brought the circus to town Elephants came dancing Dwarves were shot from cannons Clowns sprayed men with seltzer Lions’ fur was yellow Sometimes late in the night If you look to the skies You’ll see Jeffrey bouncing His trampoline pounding Louder than the siren’s roar Or Alvin, Simon and Theodore

LYRICS: Here I come - marching, singing, Shouting screaming Every day - the world’s decaying I must save it There’s my mom - calling cursing, Bitching, moaning She wants me to eat my supper Get off my computer. But I say... You’ll never take my American Soul It just get’s louder ‘til your head explodes America - Hear our message Undo your damage Your policies - I have read some They are all dumb Every internet forum bans me They say I’m a pansy But this world - I can save it all now I just can’t explain how You’ll never take my American Soul It just gets louder ‘til your head explodes I feel the rhythm losing all control And I don’t care if my dinner’s getting cold REBEL: I’m right! MOTHER: No you’re not! REBEL: Yes I am! MOTHER: I’m your mom! REBEL: Go away! MOTHER: I will not! REBEL: Get on your scooter MOTHER: I’ll take your computer REBEL: No you can’t! MOTHER: Yes I can! REBEL: It’s mine! MOTHER: Shut up! Give it to me! REBEL: Look mom, stop it! Stop it! You’ll never take my American Soul It just gets louder ‘til your head explodes I fell the rhythm losing all control And I don’t care if my dinner’s getting cold

LYRICS: There I was completely lazy No one was around Boredom; it is so frustrating As I veg out on the couch I cook up some grilled chicken and then some stir fry Then I pop in Marked for Death And put some action in my life Steven Seagal, Steven Seagal! (x4) Marked for Death is almost over Out for Justice is about to start Arms and legs; they will be broken There’s anger in Seagal’s heart There’s no one he can’t take Nothin’ he can’t do He can make some action movies And play the guitar too Steven Seagal, Steven Seagal! (4) You don’t know what he’s like! He’s a deputy, and a blues guitarist! Yeah! Steven Seagal, Steven Seagal (x8) Seagal!

LYRICS: Come, take your pill, wash it down With some soy milk Block out all the noise and obstacles And then focus in You want to be fighting dragons and giants In the forest But you’re still in school, taking tests So you may go to Swarthmore College You want to wear a dunce cap on your head And some overalls And ignore what they say about your mom On the bathroom walls There’s a place far away where you won’t Have to take those pills You’ll be free to come with me to a place Where we all can sing -- Welcome to the Village of the Idiots Everyone who is here has a brain of shit We all fall off our roof and we’re proud of it We need no pills, we’re who we are And we’ll never quit Before you took me, you had no brain You once brought an umbrella To see Purple Reign I make you smart, I make you whole You can’t even fart, unless I say so Welcome to the Village of the Idiots Everyone who is here has a brain of shit We all fall off our roof and we’re proud of it We need no pills, we’re who we are And we’ll never quit

LYRICS: A teenage knife salesman Tired of his life of sin He will not sell more knives He wants to change his life You’re mugged in the dead of night No one can hear your cries But then comes a saviour in white He’s come to save your life He’s All-American. He’s neither God nor man He can swim like Aqua Man He’s the Ultimate Milkman He gets shot in the face The mugger gets away But then comes his army of cows They run that mugger down He’s All-American. He’s neither God nor man He can swim like Aqua Man He’s the Ultimate Milkman

Demons 02:43
LYRICS: Demons, coming after me Demons, everywhere I see Demons, make me lose myself Demons, gonna send me straight to hell I am a spawn of the dark one I ain’t never seen a thing like you I am a spawn of the dark one I can’t wait to get my hands on you Demons, knocking down my door Demons, take me to the Jersey Shore Demons, I’m at their grandmom’s house Demons, I spilled a beer right on her gown I am a spawn of the dark one I ain’t never seen a thing like you I am a spawn of the dark one I can’t wait to get my hands on you

My Town 04:19
LYRICS: You make a left on 320 When you get off 202 And you keep on going straight It becomes Montgomery Avenue There’s a pizza shop on the left There’s a doughnut store on the right There’s a bunch of crazy kids Jumpin’ up and down all night (Jumping up and down all night) I hate my town, I hate my town. I hate my town I keep drivin’, I keep drivin’ But I don’t have enough gas If I did, If I did I’d get out of this town real fast But the problem is I would have no place to live or to work I pray to God to send some luck to this hapless jerk My life sucks, my life sucks That I cannot fight Every teacher who said I’d fail They were all so right If I had an aeroplane I’d fly out of this town But if I was the Red Baron Snoopy would shoot me down I hate my town, I hate my town I hate my town I hate my town, I hate my town I hate my town So now I’m livin’ in Beverly Hills In a mansion made of silk God came down, and he gave me a million dollars So now I miss my town, I miss my town I miss my town I miss my town, I miss my town I miss my town One more time; 1, 2, 3, 4 I miss my town, I miss my town I miss my town I miss my town, I miss my town I miss my town...

about

This recording process introduced new concepts to the band, such as "singing on key" and "playing in time." Much of this can be attributed to Timm Mulhern of Left Hook Studios, whose dangerous level of devotion to this album was rivaled only by our own. Before we set out to do this, some argued that we sounded best when we avoided studio perfection and didn't know what we were doing. But it was precisely this quest for studio perfection that ensured we never knew what we were doing.

about

The KMX Band Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The KMX Band is the only Metal band in history to have a singer that almost always wears the same shirt. It is also the only band in the Philadelphia area in which a former drummer once urinated on the couch of another former drummer.
But perhaps more importantly, The KMX Band is the only Traditional Metal band in the world that will sing about robots, tigers, demons and chocolate.
