New World

Breathe in steam

Spit out venomous vapor

An incandescent world, give me a fluorescent savior

But later, better be on your best behavior

Brassport doesn't play

Go get that paper

Another hard days work

Big metal wheels to the big brass church

Don't look up at the artificial sun when it burns

Just let the smoke out when it turns

Let it out when it turns

Got a black lung from the mine shaft

Nevermind that I'm a wise-crack top hat wielder

Top that, call me Spielberg

This classic is Jurassic when the wheels turn

Collect capital in the triple digits

Gadgets and gizmos and buttons and widgets

The bass kicks off and your fingers start to fidget

Then you deconstruct your religion

All signs point to a new type of vision

Hit that chain with precision and listen

Take it all in but don't ever try to fit in

No brakes on the train when you're sinning

And it goes one by one as they all file in

Every single one of them never knowing where they've been

Two by two throw cogs in the bin

Get your passport. This is Brassport

Let the show begin

I'm on the grind

Gears start to turn

A great divide

When will I learn?

One day I'll be

Grid model D

But not quite yet 'cause this new world it kind of scares me

Reach in and wake it all up

Tune it out and let your ghost shout

The difference between smog and sun is confusing

Automatons moving through the street - it's amusing

I'm fuming

Boy what's wrong?

Well a few things going down the list

Let's resume please

Right, well to start I got a clockwork heart

The innerworkings of it always split in two parts

One half golden and the other part dark

Sir, that ain't a dagger that's a dart

Okay now second, the list isn't that long

I hyperfocus on the little things that go wrong

That one half part of my heart isn't strong

One misplaced cog and you're gone

I said cog, like the corporate machine

Abraham's army only glorifies the means of production

But I'm not that productive

Cut back on the rule of reduction

Ladies and gentlemen

Tonight you will be seeing the leader of the Golden Skull Brigade

The second hand of Abraham's army

The pioneer of the Jettahawk Project

The one, the only, the legend of Gridd!

I'm on the grind

Gears start to turn

A great divide

When will I learn?

One day I'll be

Grid model D

But not quite yet 'cause this new world it kind of scares me

I'm on the grind

Gears start to turn

A great divide

When will I learn?

One day I'll be

Grid model D

But not quite yet 'cause this new world it kind of scares me

Orderly citizens I think it's evident

Rioting over anecdotal evidence

We offer solutions for only a dollar

Make sure you earned it when you come to barter

I finished my session

I'm vented and clean

We are the kids that created the scene

This isn't a sequel, man. That would be boring

This is the start of my origin story

This is New World. Steam Blows, Gears Turn

This is New World. New Foes, New Hurt

(Wake up) This is New World

(Tune Out, Let Your Ghost Shout) Steam Blows, Gears Turn

(Wake up) This is New World

(Tune Out, Let Your Ghost Shout) New Foes, New Hurt

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard!

The train leaves the station a quarter past four

While you're all at it join Abraham's army

Your citizens need you, what is the harm, see?

Look at the clock it's now time to go

We shouldn't be late lest we all miss the show

Now strap in folks you've all been good sports

We're chugging along now!
