Edmund Kemper solved it all
He fooled the shrinks
Fooled the shrinks
It then apears the proclaimation
He fooled the shrinks
Fooled the shrinks
Edmund Kemper solved it all
He fooled the shrinks
Fooled the shrinks
It then apears the proclaimation
He fooled the shrinks
Fooled the shrinks
The fortress of forever
Been forsaken
Man made promise
Polluted with blue dye
Air, water, design
Man made promise
Polluted with blue dye
Can we tamper
We have gained
Outerspace, outerspace
A million years
The devistation of
Outerspace, outerspace
Can we tamper
We have gained
Outerspace, outerspace
That's not true
that's not true
the human race, the human race
The fortress of forever
Been forsaken
Man made promise
Polluted with blue dye
Air, water, design
Man made promise
Polluted with blue dye
Fortress of forever
Been mistaken
Man made promise
Polluting of the sky (x2)
The fortress of forever
Been forsaken
Man made promise
Polluted with blue dye
Air, water, design
Man made promise
Polluted with blue dye
