Lyrics for “None of Them Knew They Were Robots" by Mr. Bungle from the album “California”
***
Mendel's machines replicate in the night
In the Black Iron Prison of St. Augustine's light
He's paying the bills and they're doing him proud
They can float their burnt offerings on assembler clouds
With Omega Point in the sight
The new Franklins fly their kites
And the post-modern empire is ended tonight
Woooaahhhh, etc.
From history, the flood of counterfeits released
The black cloud, reductionism and the beast
Automatons gather all the pieces so the world may be increased
In simulation, jubilation for the deceased
Spray-on clothes and diamond jaws
Wrinkles smoothed by nanoclaws
With my machines I can dispatch you
From this world without a trace
Our nostalgia ghosts are ready to take your place
Content-shifting shopping malls
Gasoline trees and walk-through walls
None of them knew! None of them knew!
I feel the gray goo boiling my blood
As I watch the dead rise up out of the earth
Try to hide from the lies as they all come true
Deus absconditus
Deus nullus deus
Deus nisi deus
I feel the grey goo boiling my blood
As the Fenris wolf slowly bites through his chain
Try to hide the myth as it becomes a man
None of them knew!
None of them knew!
(they were robots)
Deus absconditus
Deus nullus deus
Deus absconditus
Deus nisi deus
Buying an X or an O in statecraft tic-tac-toe
Cats game for Joe Blow
Post-industrial bliss, a binary hug or kiss
Can be wrung from utility mist
They stole the great arcanum, the secret fire
Moloch found his gold for the new empire
Once again, the necrophage becomes saint
Lindy Hop around the truth
Jump back, wolf pack attack!
Swingin' up there in the noose
Slap back, white shark attack!
Lindy Hop around the truth
Jump back, wolf pack attack!
Swingin' up there in the noose
Slap back, white shark attack!
Phased array diffraction nets
From full-wall paint-on TV sets
Migratory home sublets
And timeshared diamond fiber sets
Recombinant logos keys
Bitic Qabalistic trees
Deus absconditus
Deus nullus deus
Deus nisi deus
I feel the grey goo boiling my blood
As Leviathan and his bugs freeze the sea
Try to save the world by immolating myself
From history the flood of counterfeits released
The black cloud, the resurrection of the deceased
Automotons gather all the pieces so the world may be increased
In simulation, jubilation for the builders of the body of the beast

I normally put the “la la la’s" and "buh buh buh’s" in my videos but I hope you understand why I didn’t for this one. I bet they had a good time recording this
If an artist has a problem with this upload, I have no problem removing it. Just DM me.
Thank you!

This song is in my top five favorite things in the world and has been for years. Swing, post-Vaudevillian jazz, rockabilly, lounge, and a touch of demonic imagery. He just mashes them together mercilessly and made it work. Honestly I wish this was a genre of its own. Maybe it's the late hour and intoxication talking but if there were more bands that stuck to those genres but switched between them violently and in a way that was unsettling I'd be pretty psyched.

AMEN!!! I would marry this song if I could

[@Biodroid11]

Maybe Steampunk

[@hoperoberts6718]

Perfect song...perfect album....if you want to give someone one "taste" of Mr. Bungle that encapsulates all they can do, and they can do it ALL. Beautifully done!

"Lindy-hop around the truth, swingin' up there in the noose." Sounds alot like the last couple of years. *cough.
