<poem>
Yo, this is a story all about how,
Society got flip turned upside down.
So why don't you serve they party and just sit right there,
And I'll tell you how I came to love Big Broth-air.

In Airstrip One born and raised,
In Minitrue was where i spent most of my days,
Avoiding uprisings, revisin' all of the time,
Learnin' some Newspeak from my good buddy Syme.
When this one little girl,
Who was doubleplusungood
Started havin' sex out in the countryside.
We had a couple a' fucks and Julia gets scared
She said ''We gotta find a place run by Proles to ride.''

Upper class, yo, this is bad - drinkin' red wine out of a champaine glass
Is this what the people of the Inner Party live like?
Hmm this might be alright!
But wait, I'm hearin' stuff from O'Brien,
Is this the kinda place I should join the Brotherhood? 
Well I sure hope so, hope Goldstien get's here
Prepared to acid babies, got no love for Broth-air.

Heard the whistle of a rocket
And when it came near
The Thinkpol said ''duck!'' and it blew some proles in the air,
If anything, they could say ''Eurasia - fear!''
But I thought 'Nah, forget it, pro'lly done by Broth-air''

I tried to count all his fingers, 'bout four or five,
And i yelled ''Yo, kill Julia, just leave me alive!''
Then I was down with the Ingsoc
I was finally there
To think War is Peace, cos I love the Broth-air.

</poem>

==Achilles==
<poem>
WITH SO MUCH DRAMA IN ANTIQUITY
ITS KINDA HARD BEIN ACHI-DOUBLE L ES 
BUT I, SOMEHOW, SOME WAY
KEEP KILLIN FOOLS IN FUNKY ASS BATTLES LIKE EVERY SINGLE DAY
MAY I, KICK A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR THE ACHE-ANS
DIPPED INTO STYX AS I BREEZE, THROUGH
TWO HUNDRED SOLDIERS AND THE TROJANS STILL DYIN
TILL THAT HECTOR IS GONE
AMAZONS ARE IN THE LIVING ROOM GETTIN IT ON
AND, THEY AINT LEAVIN TIL THEIR QUEEN'S DEAD AND MOURNIN (QUEEN'S DEAD AND MOURNIN)
SO WHAT YOU WANNA DO, SHEEEIT
I GOT A QUIVVER FULL OF ARROWS AND MY HOMEBOYS SHEILD TOO
SO PUT OUT YOUR TORCH AND CLOSE THE DOORS

</poem>

==Brave New World==
<poem>
I GOT A REAL FUNNY FEELING ABOUT ALL THIS JUNK
MOST PEOPLE BE TRIPPIN BUT IM IN A FUNK
CAN'T STAND THE FEELIES BUT MY NIGGAS DON'T JIVE
THEY JUST POP A GRAM OF SOMA GET PELICAN FLY

SO I GET IN MY COPTER AND PICK UP MY BEEZY
SHE'S A FUCKING DUNCE BUT HER COOTER IS EASY
I JUST GOT TO ESCAPE FROM IT ALL 
GO SOME PLACE WHERE ITS OKAY IF YOU AINT THAT TALL
OR IF A NIGGA WAS BOTTLED WITH ALCOHOL

TO THE RESERVATION! WHERE I MEET THAT SAV
DUDES GOT A MOTHER FUCK GROSS I KNOW RITE?
BUT I GETS TO THINKIN AND IT MAKES TO MUCH SENSE
MY BOSS GOT SOME DEMONS FROM HIS LAST TRIP TO THE FENCE
ILL BRING THIS NIGGA BACK THEN I'LL GET MY RESPECT
LETS SEE YOU LAUGH NOW FUCK YOUR KING IS CHECKED
BUT SOMETHING A-HAPPENED I DID NOT EXPECT

THE SAV HE READS SHAKESPEARE AND LIKES BEIN DURTY
HATES THIS SOCIETY WHERE EV'THINGS SO PURTY
CANTS STAND IT, GOES CRAZY, DERANGING
WONT FUCK THIS CUNT THO SHE'S TOTALLY BANGIN
ONE MONTH LATER FROM A ROPE HE BE HANGI
</poem>

==Calvino==
<poem>
I'M SORRY DID I STUTTER
CITIES FLASHIN' LIKE A CAMERA SHUTTER
ACID TRIP IN WHICH YOU SLIP
DIP INSIDE CONSCIOUS CONCLUSION
ARTISTIC CONFUSION AN' ILLUSION
KUBLAI KHAN AN' MARCO POLO
LIKE CHEWBACCA AN' HAN SOLO
MAN, THE CITY IS YOU AND YOU ARE THE CITY
STILL WIT' ME, SUCH A PITY
OPEN YOUR EARS TO HEAR ANOTHER DITTY
INVISIBLE CITY SO PRETTY COME TO ME
IN A VISION SO SURREAL
WHAT'S THE DEAL?
IS THIS DREAM OR IS THIS REAL?
CAN WE FEEL, STEAL EMOTION AN' THOUGHT
AS I GOT WHAT I GOT
WHICH REALLY AIN'T ALOT
READ THE CITY LIKE A RORSCHACH BLOT

REPPIN' VENICE YO!
CALVINO OUT
</poem>

THIS AIN'T A MOVIE DOG (OH SHIT)

==On the Road==
<poem>
he said i live what i see
writin' bout my life
with dean the moriarty
i like to drive at night
sea to shining sea
quite the fast life
so high and maybe free

see now you can still live like that
though i wonder where the girl that i'll love is at?
god leads

filling up notebooks until he gets sick
gets lonely gets mexico heat
that's a body that's weak
from the whores last week
'cause his buddies in the city
was like that's what we need
a coked-up merengue brothel in the jungle 50s
with a screwed up good that went
WE KNOW TIME
something something something
WE KNOW TIME
a love that wasn't
WE KNOW TIME
he couldn't say nothin
WE KNOW TIME
he turns down the street his life is the seed
moaning in the next room a writer in need
of some wine and some whiskey and a place to sleep
that plus a hundred friends who will OD
is what keep him on the track to be the king of the beats
</poem>

==The Dharma Bums==
<poem>
live with his mom so he rides them trains
sixty thousand miles in as many days
WE KNOW TIME is all dean ever says
editor tried to cut it out
said it just wouldn't play

poets in frisco quick got sold
sexed beat boy with a beat boy prose
flow like whitman you should see the boy go
got a daddy dead forever and a mother in tow
a brother in the grave
jesus disappeared in a marijuana haze
diamond sutra gives his soul what it craves

livin with a buddhist who he really had to honor
cause he was his biggest fan
so to the peak he wandered
climbed up the cliffs went to open up his future
then to desolation peak
told him that when he's done
he's gonna be a whole new man
finally be his father's son
be the angel-souled writer, himself, the one.
</poem>

==The Old Man and the Sea==
<poem>
DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK
I'VE BEEN FISHING FOR YEARS
AIN'T CAUGHT SHIT FOR DAYS
FULL OF HUNGER AND FEAR
GO OUT TO SEA, LEAVE THE BOY GEHIND
HOPE HE HAS MORE LUCK THAN MINE
EXPLOSION!
OVERPOWERIN!
MY LINE GOT BIT BY A HUGE MARLIN
DRAGGED MY BOAT, HOPE I FLOAT, I HELD HIM ALL NIGHT WITH A LUMP IN MY THROAT
HAD SOME STRANGE DREAMS
ABOUT ARM WRESTLING
AND OTHER MANLY THEMES
ON MY WAY BACK SHARKS ATTACKED ME
I BEAT 'EM UP WITH SOME DEBRIS

I'M GONNA CATCH THAT FISH (UUH)
MAMMA SAID CATCH THAT FISH (UUH)
I'M GONNA CATCH THAT FISH (UUH)
MAMMA SAID CATCH THAT FISH (UUH)
I'M GONNA CATCH THAT FISH (UUH)
MAMMA SAID CATCH THAT FISH (UUH)
I'M GONNA CATCH THAT FISH (UUH)
MAMMA SAID CATCH THAT FISH (UUH)
