Intro (Mike Dynamo)
Crime pays
Crime pays because
crime cares
Crime fixes what nobody can repair
Crime feeds
Crime needs
Crime’ll open up your heart to watch it bleed
What about trolls?
Raise a glass folks
This next track
goes out
to the bad guy.

VERSE 1 (Mike Dynamo)
What do you do when nobody gives a shit about you
or the things that you want or what you dared to flaunt
some kind of bespoke cosmic joke
made for the cruelest entities who love everything petty
In the face of the dereliction of grace
No coordination save the twitches on your face
No illumination save depictions of your rage in your own imagination
No one should be saved
Why give a damn about anybody else
For your morality
Drop it like it’s too heavy
Claim a power famine
Make it happen
Grab it, build it smack it wear it down until you have it
Minimal resistance is a gift innit
Went from pumped up kicks to
a data mining business
And if
And if
crime pays
Supercrime reshapes
History, economics and even mindscapes
If what we need resists the great greed
then you rolls with henchmen to arch enemies

Breakdown (Initial G)
Let’s take a moment for the dearly departed
though not highly regarded
who got what they had coming for all the shit that they started

CHORUS
(Mike Dynamo)
Give it up for the bad guy!
(Initial G)
Dark Clouds, they gather in the sky
It’s time for the truth seekers to ride
Manipulators there’s no place to hide
Cause the Funan Beat Empire dont’ take no sides
(Mike Dynamo)
Give it up for the bad guy!
(Initial G)
Dark Clouds, they gather in the sky
It’s time for the truth seekers to ride
Manipulators there’s no place to hide
Cause the Funan Beat Empire dont’ take no sides

VERSE 2 (Initial G)
I launch like a nuclear warhead
And when I step into the theater
I leave the whole war dead
Have you force fed
On a farce that forks left
Where your retorts kept
came to collect on all your lost debt
Leaving scores bled out
On your whore’s bed
Eating some smores
While you’re snored out on your bedstead
Missed out on a jetset lifestyle
Now you’re bored instead
Just sordidly appease
Those binge eating till they’re morbidly obese
I’m polarized like a polaroid
whatever the opposite of bi-polar is
Freud
Solitary like a polar bear Uh
But spare me the lecture
While I’m glaring brighter than a solar flare
So step into my polar lair
Blanketed in icy cold winds
Frozen stalactites and stalagmites
Watch me with a polar stare
While I write
I’m tasting pickles
Of icicles
My throat tickles
But in my belly there are only ripples
Fingers crippled with frostbite
Hypothermia unless I’m thawed right
The Iceman cometh
Ushering the ice age
And thus this glacial tundra becomes the right stage
Even though my mettle stands currently thrice gauged
Even though my rage is currently thrice blazed

CHORUS
(Mike Dynamo)
Give it up for the bad guy!
(Initial G)
Dark Clouds, they gather in the sky
It’s time for the truth seekers to ride
Manipulators there’s no place to hide
Cause the Funan Beat Empire dont’ take no sides
(Mike Dynamo)
Give it up for the bad guy!
(Initial G)
Dark Clouds, they gather in the sky
It’s time for the truth seekers to ride
Manipulators there’s no place to hide
Cause the Funan Beat Empire dont’ take no sides
Dark Clouds, they gather in the sky
It’s time for the truth seekers to ride
Manipulators there’s no place to hide
Cause the Funan Beat Empire dont’ take no sides
