We all know what you're about to tell us And we all own what you're about to sell us So if that is all that's in it for us Well don't be surprised when we erupt in one big chorus It's getting old Take your seat as the curtain furls now Hear the beat, see the pretty girl now She sings at us in first person plural now But she stands for a sit down and take it world now So if that is all that's in it for us Well don't be surprised when we erupt in one big chorus It's getting old

I picked every lock in my mind Only to find out I'm deaf, dumb, numb, and blind Why must all I learn hurt me so? Why must all I learn have to hurt me so? Like a color so bright that it blinds Painting a sad scene of a setting sun While I watch for my new moon to rise I don't know, but everybody tells me otherwise - It's a blessing in disguise I see what I feel in my dreams Just a taste of the music, it stings - I know that it's real Why must all I hear hurt me so? Why must all I hear have to hurt me so? So that every note burns like a spice Singing a sad song to a setting sun While I howl for my new moon to rise I don't know, but everybody tells me otherwise - It's a blessing in disguise

We don't know, but we don't mind It's no accident, it's by design You secret keepers keep us entertained And rot away our need to have it all explained No wonder then that all you say is right Yeah you're right You're right You're right until you're proven wrong Magic books from up above, Electric rumor mills we know and love They scare us all day long, and calm at night And every word is knowledge at first sight So how am I gunna to fight it if you're right? Yeah you're right You're right You're right until you're proven wrong Laws are made and bills are signed They tell me what to do with my mind Print it on a press and bind it too And quote some liars, thieves and thugs who say it's true It doesn't matter what you write you're right Yeah you're right Right until you're proven wrong, you're right Yeah you're right You're right You're right until you're proven wrong

Dead Meat 03:36
Underline what you want Circle twice what you need a lot Pick and choose, choose and win Win or lose, win some lose some Understand what you got Understate all that you do not Undergo to overtake Undertake to overcome these twenty-odd years Even prime years were odd Twenty light years from where I wanna be It starts or it ends It breaks or it surely bends Has to run has to work Has to live or work around it Knock one down, knock one up Knock one down, down a couple rounds Round and round, round and round I get around but I can't get around these twenty-odd years Even prime years were odd Twenty light years from where I wanna be Twenty-odd years Even prime years were odd Twenty light years from where I wanna be

You can't have too many friends You can tell friends by the way they never have to fight You can tell - watching them bare their teeth but never bite They don't get all that upset All they do is grin and bare their pearly whites You can't have too many friends Some kinds of friends might get jealous They'll burn and their boil but not tell us If his hair caught fire, please don't point it out You can see all of your friends go off and take a lead You can see - stretching their legs and get just what they need They all seem to follow a dream I would but my bad one it don't ever leave You can't have too many friends

1984 03:23
Hey - when I get home at night, I check on you But you've been checking on me too You're looking up my skirt and taking notes All my effects you left askew Who knew my little world would so impress Wish I could say the same for you And your peephole obsession I don't need your full confession, no How do I get you out of my life? Hey - the miracle of life had long expired You discovered it's a curse So you and your friends cast computer spells To keep us from getting any worse For 30 years of 1984 And your peephole profession I don't need your full confession How do I get you out of my life?

I gotta know Yeah I gotta know I gotta know how we're gonna go Are we gonna wipe out just like everyone else? Are we the sons of dinosaurs? Doomed 'cuz we stomp and bite and roar? I gotta know Yeah I gotta know I gotta know how we're gonna go Are we gonna wipe out just like everyone else? Are we the sons of flightless birds? Doomed to be stomped by human herds? Oh no here we go - the way of the dino Now they're gone and buried in rock for too long Oh no here we go - the way of the dodo Now they're gone, nobody remembers their song Oh no here we go - bye bye Bye Bye

Symphomaniac 03:55
Where do you suppose that we're going? We're taking it fast but we're slowing You know that I can't believe that We're gonna run out of steam at all Lend to me two eyes that see Two ears that hear a clear and perfect melody yeah Lend to me a symphony I'll show you what I mean by a mean harmony yeah What do you think that you're hearing? You're bored to tears but you're cheering You know I'll never believe that We're gonna run out of steam at all Lend to me two eyes that see Two ears that hear a clear and fearless melody yeah Lend to me a symphony I'll show you what I mean by a mean harmony yeah Are you afraid that we're stalling? We move ahead but we're crawling You know that I don't believe that We're gonna run out of steam at all Lend to me two eyes that see Two ears that hear a clear and fearless melody yeah Lend to me a symphony I'll show you what I mean by a mean harmony yeah

Sunburn War 03:37
Oh when I was a boy, had it all figured out What to fear, what to doubt Kinda all freaked me out Rightly so. Rightly so. Well I heard what you say That my line points both ways A beginning, an end, laced with time that won't bend But it does, yes it does. Oh when I grow up a good honest man No more lies when I speak No more swims up shit creek Like I do - always do Well I heard what you say That my line points both ways A beginning, an end, laced with time that won't bend But it does, yes it does. Well some see an end - a closed universe But if I keep keeping on I might survive the sunburn war Oh when I sleep to dream A man comes to me Eyes rolled back - mind is gone Wants to hotwire the bomb Says we all can't belong
10.
Friendzy 03:55
Everywhere you go - all your life is on display to me In and out of bars, laugh, cry, a tragicomedy You're sick of getting sick, and you're tired of overtiring Well, I know because I read your little diary I don't know if I can let go Once they bind you to me Do you mind? Do you mind Once they bind you to me? I always see your face but you're never saying hi to me On your statusphere where it's clear for all to see Would it kill you - no - would it hurt you to subscribe to me? Won't you wanna read my little diary? Oh no - I don't know if I can let go Once they bind you to me Do you mind? Would you mind Once they bind you to me?

Can I sympathize? Can I care by looking into someone else's eyes? Should I be scared to put to sleep a dream that doesn't matter anymore? Or am I gonna write A letter to the editor that he might never read? How'm I gonna write? How'm I gonna sleep at night? Like a separate living thing With its own voice repeating "Will it hurt, Charlie, will it sting? When you put this dream to sleep? When you put your dream to sleep?" Put your dream to sleep Can I sympathize? Can I care by looking in the little bugger's eyes? Should I be scared that dream don't matter anymore? How'm I gonna write A letter to the editor that he might never read? How'm I gonna write? How'm I gonna sleep at night? Like a separate living thing With its own voice repeating "Will it hurt, Charlie, will it sting? When you put this dream to sleep?" Put your dream to sleep

You - you gave notice And we gave notice too You'll get noticed And we'll get noticed too And one day soon We'll all sing a tune Like we used to do We will wish you well We will wish you well May the sun shine on you We will wish you well We ran aground in feel-good sound We rode our lifeboats back to town It was explained that it was dangerous for us to stick around So it goes and so we went To what or where we just can't tell Even so, we wish you well

about

The Trillions Richmond, Virginia

Richmond, Virginia based The Trillions siphon sounds from their favorite high-intensity bands: some pop wizardry from The Strokes, big-and-loud drums from Led Zeppelin and The Who, a dose of bombastic shred and guitar feedback from Pinkerton-era Weezer, smears of vocal attitude from The Buzzcocks, all drizzled with some topical lyrics and harmonies à la The Beatles, The Zombies, or Dr. Dog. ... more
