311 Transistor Lyrics
1.Transistor

Lyrics:Hexum/Martinez
Music:Sexton

If you want more beats for you buck there's no luck (x4)
Then there's no luck
Then again if you came for drama then I can't understand a
Music critics, music critics
Not afraid of a guy who'll tell you he's never been in a mix
Been in a mix, been in a mix
We're from the grassroots so big up to out friends
Every crew, every click and every posse
Big up to all the heads not of hypocracy

You're a transistor
Lightning resistor
Conducting to the mother Star
That's what you are

Renegade sound system three eleven (x4)
Three eleven (x2)
Brothers from another planet and
Here once again
Automatic (x2)
Quantum saints of the universe
In a holographic
Cosmic Remix (x2)
From the mysterious blue planet
We can breathe anywhere
Underwater, out in space, and in L.A.
Your polluted air's no problem for these homeys


2.Prisoner

Lyrics:Hexum/Martinez
Music:Hexum

Whoa oh prisoner
My pretty oh oh prisoner

A black ocean is the sky above
Tiny lights bob what star you from

Trapped in material plane
She wants to fly and they think she's insane
But she knows what she know
Give that girl wings and that's all she wrote

Twilight zone twilight zone I'm
Floating in the dark alone and
Is there any love out here let me know

A laser lights the top of my dome
Then through my body
As if Scotty's
Beaming up a wayward soul

Mutant races in an ancient universe
Dark shadows humans rhymin' in a reggae verse

It's gone if you blink
I can see it as soon as you think it

Dancehalls crystal balls
On sidewalk malls
Psychic people outdoors reading palms

I believe that you know more
To survive the dimension is four

oh oh prisoner
my pretty oh oh prisoner

Look at the way she's searching
Trapped in a world that's hurting
So bad it makes her cry
But i won't let her say goddbye


3.Galaxy

Lyrics:Martinez
Music:Sexton

Between Mars and Jupiter
There's a gap
For another planet
Now way back yeah
Maybe a mad man
Just blew the shit
Out of it
Now we're tryin'
To get back
In alignment
Explains why we
Go through cycles
Always tryin' to find it
Closin' into the age
Of aquarius
Crazy weather
Floods Tornadoes
Low jet streams
Not gettin better
Enterin' a twilight zone
Activities grown
Every single day
More people spottin' UFO's

Let's come together with this
New coast shit
we got the motherfuckin' kids
Now let's freak this shit
It's messed up when you're feeling
Everything is wrong
takeover the Pentagon

It's fucked up in this paradigm
Cuz I'm burnin' fossil fuels
I dont even need too
free energy has been harnessed
we don't use it why
cuz the techniques been suppressed
the hours glass has passed through granules
thats cool we gotta break it
bust all these rules and switch
change up the pitch
rearrange our views and this
dumb shit we'll ditch

chorus

I found a bootleg of the cosmic conscious
then erased it
visualized the breath technique
slowly became it
now something is watchin' me
since I have found the keys
to free this energy
my high speed light body
cuz the galaxy is crazy
it doesn't amaze me
that we're livin' out of phase
and quickly decaying
6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
is encoded in this plane
we live on


4.Beautiful Disaster

Lyrics:Hexum
Music:Hexum

Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two
The one with old wood creaking that would burn right away on cue
I try to be not like that but some people really suck
Some people need to get the axing chalk it up to bad luck

I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She's always running from something so many things ignored
I might do that stuff if it didn't make me feel like shit
I'm on some old reality tip so many trips in it

Beautiful Disaster
Flyin down the street again
I tried to keep up
You wore me out and left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
You're a butterfly in the wind without a care
A pretty train crash to me and I can't care
I do, I don't, whatever

I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She's always running from something so many things ignored
I try to be not like this, but I thought I'd make a good song
There's nothing to see shows over people just move along


5.Inner Light Spectrum

Lyrics:Martinez
Music:Sexton/Martinez

When I shadow box inside my skull
bothered by the senselessness
I wish for the messiah,
Indian woman, Babylon

There is one thing I
will say on life
we are livin
let it flow
cuz it won't stop

and when the kind
consciousness
come unto you
you will know
and it won't stop

When I wipe the sleep
from my eyes
will my fondest dream please come true

crush my heart with a hammer
make a purer one
Babylon

Chorus

But mean people
I say choke on it
gagging all the way
may you remember
the texture for days
but you'll get used to
the feeling of your pride
chugalug it time after time
learning your lesson
will do you fine


6.Electricity

Lyrics:Hexum
Music:Hexum

This song started as a rant against haters
But that'd be giving in to the instigators
if there is one thing I'd like to pull off
When someone steps with hate all i do is scoff
You can't burn me
Can't burn me

The same force that flows through every circuit
The juice that's spent everytime you work it
Every life form is based on this simplicity
The soul that you have is electricity

You can't avoid that
Evolution is fact
We're all from the same Lucy
Despite differences you see

I'm in disbelief at what people will believe
All along I thought we had our hearts on our shirtsleeve
If one thing I can say as a piece of advice
Don't believe it till you see it and then see it twice
It's so funny
It's not funny

Chorus

A call out for unity
In every province and city
What do you think we've been saying
Since we first started playing


7.What Was I Thinking

Lyrics:Hexum
Music:Hexum

The word that I head was so absurd
I can't believe it slipped from my lips

The tongue from which it was sung was so dumb
I wish to pull it from my skull

What the fuck was I thinking


8.Jupiter

Lyrics:Hexum/Martinez
Music:Sexton

sometimes the only thing that saves you
think of bad things luck never gave you
and although true love has just left you
well at least you mother kept you

be sure that a dreams alive
there only short burst in life
are you able to be satsfied
do you expect fun all the time

hey we can rock it easy and lay it in the fold
hey we can shake you simply just by being cold
and if it falls apart will you still be my friend
get back we're gonna stick together

and so many things that have gone wrong
at least you have ears to hear this song
and if you reading in close caption
there's still bad things that could have happened

long time since we've first came here
and sometimes we fall on deaf ears
one thing I've got to say before sales die
stay positive and love your life


9.Use Of Time

Lyrics:Hexum
Music:Hexum

with the words staying me slow
the verbs that just don't flow
confusing use of time
partial stoning of the heart
waiting for something to start
confusing use of time

but the trying again
makes me think it's all gonna end
confusing use of time

but everytime I turn the volume down
all that I hear is the deafing sound
of your hearts pound

chorus

today, the longest day
hearing repeating things you'd say
confusing use of time
can you hear the void that I describe
what could I say vacancy sounds like
confusing use of time


10.The Continuous Life

Lyrics:Martinez
Music:Sexton

when things are outta whack
and they might collapse
and at the end of the day
you still can't relax
and physically you ache
like a cavity feelin' the blind
on your mind and the rest
of your body
listen to your heartbeat
flow and imagine
become jackson pollack
air brush chinese dragons
on a sky blue conversation
van or electra
buick of the mind full of
luminous matter
and slowly all the pressure
recedes and you stop to decay
naturally think clearly
ultimately through your grace
will give wy to traffic jams
submachine guns in hand
city red-necks who think
like the omega man
feelin' the extremes
of the times we're livin'
stockpile spaghetti-o's
and cheerios plannin'
to survive that fall-out shit

its not ambiguous
it be continous
its all about us
its for real man
the continuous life there is no end
movin' through life
movin' through death

my radio emits a signal form
a strange noise the kind of which
I've never heard before
I scan the dial for more stations
but all I get is an eerie feelin'
I'm not dreamin' this is the real dealin'
there's nothin like this trance
I'm caught in a daze
cuz I'm finally out of my body
the blue lights are ablaze
yeah I'm really amazed
and feelin' so light that's right
lift off and I'm into the sky
as if a hologram were created
to shift my conciousness
changed again and I'm flung
in the rift
I wanna be free I wanna do right
I move through the portal
to be purified


11.No Control

Lyrics:Hexum/Martinez
Music:Hexum

do you want me to cry?
cry for you
how can you say
that you're blue
a rich rock star you are
yet you still complain
that's insane

imagine if you
had a child of two
you're a single mom
with a son named two
you work a long hard day
just to bill pay
with no time to play
then what would you say

still in this world what it means to me
losin' my grip as I trip on anomalies
my third eye is the prize of unflyin' horus
the pleadies will smash out of taurus
energy pure decompose in the porous
soil of life moving on it's courses

crystals 'neaththe surface radiate the cycle
combing minerals they will flex and let go
toxically were built to never last
cuz the waste we make all day
steady growin' fast
I get up intake my blue-green algae
let it penetrate
strengthen my grasp
holistic healers dealin' our galactic growth
reversin' fx of shit wrecked Chernobyl

Wanna take it further
Let's take that funk further
Wanna take it further
Let's take that love further

We've all got pain that's real
And we should say how we feel
And I've felt so alone
But I know I've always got a home
The question I'm upserving
is am I really deserving

Gamma waves bacterial plagues
cow mutilations all the time
not to mention visitations
more than 2000 years
of fuckin' with our fears
the only thing true
we gotta love each other
try to keep a positive vibe
they make it tough for ya
you're cut off and lonely
while you hustle for dough
we can overcome the wrongs
while we're reachin' the point
stick together all forever
now continue to flow


12.Running

Lyrics:Martinez
Music:Mahoney

Here in the world
feel it flowing
river of life
on a human journey
dont be afraid
of becoming the sea
don't worry yourself
many stories will
be left untold
but understand
everything must go

Slow slow lover
rub you down
we don't want no one
hurting don't make a sound
oh livin' is a journey
walking believing running
for shelter now
slow slow lover
rub you down
we don't want no one
hurting don't make a sound
oh living is a journey
walking believing running

What's that you do
you're running around
there's people that need you
and you're letting down
and when it's time to care
you always leave town
don't hurry yourself
there's some wildness
there and mercy
it's the emptiness we
love touching

Chorus

Give thanks and praise
for good things you found
humble people
not ashames nor proud
and always try to keep
your feet on the ground
and love yourself


13.Color

Music:Sexton

(Instrumental)


14.Light Years

Lyrics:Hexum
Music:Hexum

You're a thousand light years running through my brain
Reminding me that no one's sane
Not all the time
Yes

You're a thousand light years running through my brain
Reminding me that no one's sane
Not all the time
Yes I still remember you
In a way that you'd want me to
I man a man you know see
Who will do right for you

Never let your regret make you wish we had not met
I cannot think that way yeah
I drove you crazt I see that plainly
You waited on pins for me
But needles never ever love
What did you think of


15.Creature Feature

Lyrics:Martinez
Music:Wills

I wanna do what's right
be kind to everybody
open up to light
let it flow through
my body

But sometimes
I'm unsure
I tell my baby

I'm slippin' into darkness
I'm creepin' into darkness
I don't want to start this
I'm attracted to darkness

Be positive with life
see the godd in everybody

But sometimes
I'm unsure
I tell my baby
There's something going on
In my heart
I feel it weigh me down
so I reach up for
wide blue sky
try to pull it into
the deep arc of my arms


16.Tune In

Lyrics:Martinez
Music:Sexton

You're a power spot rotating
everchanging
transmitting like a radio wave
frequently feeling
what's goin' on
Times are weird all this static
things erratic
seems like we lost the magic
see hear how clear
is inner quality
a yin and yang type of thang
sacred geometry
ascending mad
energy crazy bad
you're something NASA
fucking wish they had

Tune in
for those who are wantin'
vision
feel it from within
sing along

you're a star creator
soul craft generator
movin' through time and space
son you're a liberator
but you're memory
has been erased
the things you knew
misplaced check it out
Babylon
life style we scorn
now we live again
in L.A. Tokyo and New York
come on pay a fee
smoke your booty weed
put gas in your tank
keep your city bumpin'


17.Rub A Dub

Lyrics:Hexum
Music:Hexum

Ooh, what else can I do
Ooh, what else can I do
Ooh, face in a screw
Ooh racing to prove
You never remember
The blossom sender
Still in a Rub A Dub style

Long time you don't know what I'm doin' Whoa
Long time see troubles are brewin' yeah
Stick to the way you rock it and know that
you'll cope with that
Not gonna let it sit till I say, quot;how dope was thatquot;
Keep your head pumpin' till you get in the zone
not giving up, not going home

Stick to the way you rock it just do it real slow
Nobody can really say cuz nobody really know
only thing that matters if it's funky to you
You got a choice of what you can do


18.Starshines

Lyrics:Hexum/Martinez
Music:Sexton

I am a music lover and some how I get paid
This song would still exist if no money was made
That's the difference
I summed it up in a sentence
I'm sittin' here perfectly still cuz I've got
No place to go
Be about two months until we light up
the show follow me now
I sing of Spring it's a marvelous thing
What else swing the thing you bring

Yo I gotta say hola
Orange county to Angola
I go back to the beat
It never lets me down
Zone in and let it Rola

I deem stream of sweat that connects me to you
I still be about that thing you do
We dip dip dive and herbalize
I don't look over my shoulder but I know
there are spies
But then long time crew
stuck like glue
You never let me down
Always came through
Always kept the flow
Even when you didn't know
Don't ask us
We make it up as we go

Chorus

Seems like people are the viruses
and earth is simply tired of us
so many headz what if something would give
and kill off our race
maybe diseases from space
arriving from a comet
with a trail left for the planet
say the wake it created was the start of the end
filled with spores that we engineered
plant pathogens
what's in the future for the view is many changes
humans could be in danger
what would you eat to be a remainder
as your food is maimed
to take you out the frame
some would vaporize
some would remain
the same suckers with no cares about
the wave of the world I feel
their lives are destined for hard times too

There's a parallel universe that might be blocked
but by emotion we put in to it we could unlock
I'm not sayin' we could escape fate tunneling in this vast
untranslatable energy filled of dust and ash


19.Strangers

Lyrics:Hexum
Music:Hexum

Now I don't know you you don't know me
But I can show you where's the beat
And you can do as you feel as long as you move
Two perfect strangers sharing a groove

Suckers step up and want to cause friction
But violence is for those who can't handle diction
Competion is waning circumnavigate the draining
Complaining about those who are steady maintaining the jam

Jump into thE pit and just slam
Big respect goes out to those who can
Lose their shit once in a while
Act a fool just to mark time yo that's my style


20.Borders

Lyrics:Martinez
Music:Sexton

There are days I wanna leave LA
I wanna break out the maze
Escape the dark haze these days
So many kids I know your feelin' crazed
Craze materials thangs and makin' slave wages
Baggy pockets only got laudry fluff
Livin' where rich people always buyin some stuff
So you try to act tough and hide what's inside
Hold your head high gettin fucked up and throwin' dice
As bad as yours and and bad enough I'm sure
My heart wants to love but must navigate through war
Cuz seein' that we're wired to short circuit
Must mean the meek who will inherit the earth
Already work it

There's a land by the sand grab the money
Plastic the life end of the century
People actin fake can't see the omens
Wake up yourself cause change is comin
Theres a land by the sand grab the Mountain Dew
Hollywood is such a place fuelin the frenzy
And everybody starts to peep around corners
Before they take their snapple they know thier borders

In this $19.98 plus shipping and handling type nether-
World everytime merchandise dips in our coffers
We buy that imagine that cost of livin' uh huh
The fakest shit and act cool our friends are watchin
Attention shoppers check the section in your reflection
Don't you feel so good does it enhance your fresh Complexion
You gotta have it you got to have it x2

As the world turns and all the money we burn
On the bullshit to make us happy sometimes we never learn
We're self centered we think we're better
We look down as a people upon our elders

Theres a land buy the snapple grab the money
Now let go of it cause its dissolving
It created all your fears and kept you hustling
Made you sever all the ties to your family


21.Stealing Happy Hours

Lyrics:Hexum
Music:Hexum

Massive Laminate Fortress
Hazy cannibus porches
Saying no to the bores
It's not mine or yours then i said
The wait sucks I don't mind waiting
Once you get there there's no more gates and i gotta say

Stealing Happy Hours

Don't wait one minute more to ask me
You make me feel like Hank Chinaski
In war all the time war war all the time
We're snatching bits of time that
No one else can seem to find
