Prologue 

The following pages record the lives of prominent survivors, who aim to  build something they perceive is worth striving for. But in this future, without laws, prisons, or rules, what good can come from these ashes?  What bad can come from the fire? A man’s greed is as sturdy as the  foundations on which he built his selfishness, and in this situation,  selfishness becomes a survival tactic. In this Era of Uncertainty, the only  constant is devolution. 

First Year 

Smear the tendency 

Just in time for New Year’s Eve 

The first year you're out there 

The first year you're out there 

And when I need answers 

You'll be out there 

You'll be there 

Mommy ran to the nearest barbershop pole 

And took care of the glass 

Took a wad of cash 

And once done the kids had fun 

With the candy cane sun 

From now on haircuts are for no one 

The first year makes them run 

Smear the tendency 

Just in time for New Year’s Eve 

First year you're out there 

And when I need answers 

You'll be out there 

You’re on the windmill good times 

Stomp on my shoulder good times 

You hold the world loved one 

Once done the kids had fun 

With the candy cane sun 

From now on 

Haircuts are for no one 

Smear the tendency 

Just in time for New Year’s Eve 

First year you're out there 

And when I need answers 

You'll be out 

I Am the Genesis 

I am the genesis 

I am the crest 

I am the beat banging out of your chest 

Gimme your money 

I don't want the rest 

The people in headlines 

That say that I'm blessed 

And you will be too if you stick around with me 

I help people see 

All they can be 

There's nothing people 

Haven't tried to achieve 

So let's get together and rock the status quo 

There's something inside me 

It's hard to express 

You give me the perfect 

I give you the best 

Obsidian wrapped in Venice is my heart 

I help people see 

All they can be 

There's nothing people 

Aren't willing to die 

As long as you're willing to try for you can change the status quo 

I help people see 

All they can be 

There's nothing people 

Aren't willing to die 

As long as you're willing to try for you can rock the fucking world 

I am the genesis 

I am the crest 

I am the beat banging out of your chest 

Had many names 

Pseudonym trees 

So pick any present 

You'd like me to be 

But you cannot deny that I'm you 

I travel the world 

In search for a girl 

She's capable, beautiful, graceful and smart 

But obsidian wrapped in Venice is her heart 

I help people see 

All they can be 

There's nothing people 

Aren't willing to die 

As long as you're willing to try for you can change the status quo 

I help people see 

All they can be 

There's nothing people 

Aren't willing to die 

As long as you're willing to try for you can rock the fucking world 

I am the genesis 

I am the crest 

I am the beat banging out of your chest 

I am the genesis 

I am the crest 

Gimme your money I don't want the rest

A Giel Once Told Me 

A girl once told me that 

I should go to work 

An honest man for one day 

And I stood there with a little smirk 

A girl once told me that 

I’m not around 

You'll blindfold me upside down 

And I said let's see the best show in town 

A girl once told me to 

Call the police 

I watched my car done cease 

And she said how bout it for the 

Influence Machine 

A girl once told me 

I'm General Lee 

Talked me out Confederacy 

So we moved out of Lee County 

A girl once told me to 

Retrace my tracks 

I went ahead, did not last 

Smoked grass and try to relax 

A girl once told me that 

I should try to breathe 

An empty cartilage canteen 

And I stood there with the 

Influence Machine 

​

(Communist)

(Gangster)

(Computer)

(God)

A girl once told me that 

Feedback is key 

Hades make me lazy 

And I stood there with the 

Influence Machine 

(I want to run away)

A girl once told me 

A girl told me 

On my knees, beg and plead 

And I stood there with the 

Influence Machine 

(She's deaf and mute)

A girl once told me that 

There's something to say 

Linguists in the family 

Funk Orient Express
