  SURVIVAL
  YOU ARE TRAPPED ON THE EARTH SO YOU WILL EXPLODE
  WHAT URGE WILL SAVE US NOW THAT SEX WON’T?
  PUT FOOD OUT IN THE SAME PLACE EVERY DAY AND TALK TO THE PEOPLE WHO COME TO EAT AND ORGANIZE THEM
  SAVOR KINDNESS BECAUSE CRUELTY IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE LATER
  DANCE ON DOWN TO THE GOVERNMENT AND TELL THEM YOU’RE EAGER TO RULE BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU
  THE BREAKDOWN COMES WHEN YOU STOP CONTROLLING YOURSELF AND WANT THE RELEASE OF A BLOODBATH
  SPIT ALL OVER SOMEONE WITH A MOUTHFUL OF MILK IF YOU WANT TO FIND OUT SOMETHING ABOUT HIS PERSONALITY FAST
  MOTHERS WITH REASONS TO SOB SHOULD DO IT IN GROUPS IN PUBLIC AND WAIT FOR OFFERS
  OUTER SPACE IS WHERE YOU DISCOVER WONDER AND WHERE YOU FIGHT AND NEVER HURT EARTH IF YOU STOP BELIEVING THIS YOUR MOOD TURNS UGLY
  DIE FAST AND QUIET WHEN THEY INTERROGATE YOU OR LIVE SO LONG THAT THEY ARE ASHAMED TO HURT YOU ANYMORE
  IF YOU HAD BEHAVED NICELY THE COMMUNISTS WOULDN’T EXIST
  TRUST VISIONS THAT DON’T FEATURE BUCKETS OF BLOOD
  IN A DREAM YOU SAW A WAY TO SURVIVE AND YOU WERE FULL OF JOY
  IF YOU’RE CONSIDERED USELESS NO ONE WILL FEED YOU ANYMORE
  WHEN YOU EXPECT FAIR PLAY YOU CREATE AN INFECTIOUS BUBBLE OF MADNESS AROUND YOU
  YOU ARE SO COMPLEX THAT YOU DON’T ALWAYS RESPOND TO DANGER
  MEN DON’T PROTECT YOU ANYMORE
  WITH ALL THE HOLES IN YOU ALREADY THERE’S NO REASON TO DEFINE THE OUTSIDE ENVIRONMENT AS ALIEN
  WHEN SOMEONE BEATS YOU WITH A FLASHLIGHT YOU MAKE LIGHT SHINE IN ALL DIRECTIONS
  FINDING EXTREME PLEASURE WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON IF YOU’RE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT THRILLS YOU
  USE A STUN GUN WHEN THE PERSON COMING AT YOU HAS A GOOD EXCUSE
  IT IS IN YOUR SELF-INTEREST TO FIND A WAY TO BE VERY TENDER
  THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR WILL BE SECRET
  THE CONVERSATION ALWAYS TURNS TO LIVING LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE FUN
  WHAT COUNTRY SHOULD YOU ADOPT IF YOU HATE POOR PEOPLE?
  USE WHAT IS DOMINANT IN A CULTURE TO CHANGE IT QUICKLY
  PROTECT ME FROM WHAT I WANT
  YOU ARE CAUGHT THINKING ABOUT KILLING ANYONE YOU WANT
  IT’S HARD TO KNOW IF YOU’RE CRAZY IF YOU FEEL YOU’RE IN DANGER ALL THE TIME NOW
  YOU CAN’T REACH THE PEOPLE WHO CAN KILL YOU ANY TIME SO YOU HAVE TO GO HOME AND THINK ABOUT WHAT TO DO
  THE FUTURE IS STUPID
  HIDE UNDER WATER OR ANYWHERE SO UNDISTURBED YOU FEEL THE JERK OF PLEASURE WHEN AN IDEA COMES
  SOMEONE ELSE’S BODY IS A PLACE FOR YOUR MIND TO GO
  WHEN THERE’S NO SAFE PLACE TO SLEEP YOU’RE TIRED FROM WALKING ALL DAY AND EXHAUSTED FROM THE NIGHT BECAUSE IT’S TWICE AS DANGEROUS THEN
  IT’S EASY TO GET MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ON EVERY CONTINENT TO PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO EATING AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
  GO WHERE PEOPLE SLEEP AND SEE IF THEY’RE SAFE
  HANDS ON YOUR BREAST CAN KEEP YOUR HEART BEATING
  TURN SOFT AND LOVELY ANY TIME YOU HAVE A CHANCE
  IT IS FUN TO WALK CARELESSLY IN A DEATH ZONE
  YOU LIVE THE SURPRISE RESULTS OF OLD PLANS
  LET YOUR HAND WANDER ON THE FLESH TO MAKE POSSIBILITY MULTIPLY
  IT IS EMBARRASSING TO BE CAUGHT AND KILLED FOR STUPID REASONS
  SHOOT INTO INFINITE SPACE TO HIT A TARGET IN TIME AND CALL IT INEVITABLE
  YOU HOVER NEAR LOVELY UNCONSCIOUS LIFE-FORMS THAT OFFER NO IMMEDIATE RESISTANCE
  PEOPLE LOOK LIKE THEY ARE DANCING BEFORE THEY LOVE
  BODIES LIE IN THE BRIGHT GRASS AND SOME ARE MURDERED AND SOME ARE PICNICKING
  SILLY HOLES IN PEOPLE ARE FOR BREEDING OR ARE FROM SHOOTING
  YOUR MODERN FACE SCANS THE SURPRISE ENDING
