assembled and recorded in 2008, celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the Muckrakers album MAY. Previously unreleased!!

lyrics

idle brain
brain and map will code
code your thoughts
thoughts will always drain
drain and block
block the greedy hand
hand of art
art remains our need
instability open up your skull

helpless. you are the idea one
hopeless. you are the idea one
hear this: you are the idea one
idea one

lack of work
work the weary ear
ear and grave
grave? it's not so hard.
hard to run
run away from fear
fear of will
will not keep a score
lift away the veil intellectual
