THE BALLAD OF JACOB LEE Now gather ‘round For the tale of the greatest that ever was It’s the story of Jacob Lee SMASH IT ON THE CABINET One day a young man found a secret alley With a secret arcade where he won World Rally And he beat Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct “I've got a special game for you,” the owner said with a wink “Inside of it's the ghost of Jacob lee The greatest arcadist since 1983” The ghost jumped out of the game and said, “I'm not what I seem. In- Stead of a spirit I'm a soul collecting demon” You know it's Jacob Lee From 1983 “Now we fight for your soul,” Said the electric devil “In my video realm On a hidden level Where you will fail Because I always win I'll add your name to hi-score list of the souls trapped within” They played Asteroids and Blasteroids and Hardcore Pong Then he realized that he had the magic all along With a half circle back, He tossed a hadouken The demon didn't block in time and then the curse was broken YEAH Hardcore Pong in the place to be Comin’ from Sydney, Australia And Chicago, Illinois Brought to you by Danny Paul by way of Florida We’re takin’ on the champion SMASH IT ON THE CABINET

Bad Dudes 04:04
BAD DUDES The president's been kidnapped by ninjascillators A rescue plan is postulated We're gonna curb stomp all the crime in the city Using two mean men connected by MIDI Are you a bad enough dude to cut off the resonance? Malformed macro-malevolence Are you a bad enough dude to cut off the resonance? Attack the decay Release the president So here's the new deal from these two bad dudes We encourage you to eat less processed foods 'Cause when your large intestine receives enough roughage Then you'll really know what rough and tough is Critical hits on the 8-bit blitz Critical hits on the 8-bit blitz Critical shits keep you physically fit You only get one colon, take good care of it

Let's Ride 03:23
LET'S RIDE You can’t imprison These organisms In a cage made of ice You are the vector For our infection With your DNA spliced Bid humanity a fond farewell When we flee this antarctic jail cell And split your head like a vice You’re the way out A bio-escape route It’s time for us To make an exodus Let’s Ride This is the rise of the parasites Go Hard Time to bust out of the carbonite We will succeed In breaking free Of your feeble containment And interweave Your society With our doppelgangers We promise that no one will miss you When you’re copied right down to the tissue Subcellular rearrangement Let's ride

Code-thulhu 03:50
CODE-THULHU Resolution so low, it’s at the bottom of the sea It’s where i rock the mic eponymously Insanity.exe, call me Code-thulu I program the thoughts into you Code-thulhu Time to resurface Connect the circuits The dead language of machines Provides the base class for digital dreams I render graphics non-Euclidean Zeros and ones carved in obsidian Orienting objects from outer space Screens illuminate the tentacled face

Excitebyte 03:07
EXCITEBYTE Time to get it on with Hardcore Pong Revving up from the other side of the monitor Touching terabits on the tachometer Forget the city streets, we got laser beams ‘Cause we’re taking the race to the data stream Breathe And Begin These Hands Plug in Re-start Re-skin Retroactive acolyte Excitebyte Break the sound barrier by the second lap And victory is vector-mapped Overclock the overdrive, we’re on the attack ‘Cause Hardcore Pong always carves up the track

HEXADECIMAL HERO Hexadecimal hero puts a hex on you Fighting cybercrime on the astral plane The digital wizard with the analogue brain Mystical monochrome super heroics Chicago’s on the scene, just in case you didn’t know it The hexadecimal hero puts a hex on you Extra sexy apoplexy through voodoo In cyberspace, he finds his nemesis It’s an undead Sega Genesis A mighty mathmagical battle occurs With incantations and integers HARDCORE PONG Defending data on the intertubes With two dimensional cosmic cubes And insane arcane algorithms 8-bit alchemy in the central system

BLEEDING HEART Wetware hub Fiberoptic nerves Call me your sever 'Cause I live to serve A costless, lossless Player purveyor Open up my veins on the securities layer This information's infrastructure's cardiovascular You siphon system like a digital Dracula I can't combat all the adversaries With bugs built into the capillaries Bleeding heart Send out a message Bleeding heart 'Cause this data is cursed Bleeding heart With razor-sharp edges Bleeding heart Cause a cardiac burst When the inside intel Is compromised The retro-retro-retro-retro revolution will re-arise Private keys pilfered and Passwords plundered We procure the planet with 2600s Your firewall failed Open to attacks and BOOM BOOM We ingest the info 'cause we roll with Pac-Man Dodging data leaks With the deftness of Frogger Your SSL don't work so well 'Cause I made it a key logger Re-start Reach out Receive a message Decrypted data drip With the secrets in the edges Message message message message RESTART, GO Bleeding heart

IT'S A GRIM LIFE One Saturday night I went down to the morgue Couldn't get any service From two guys who looked bored I couldn't understand just how this pair got employed 'Cause they were two skeletons playing Paperboy One said, "Hey, there you are on the screen. How do you deal with the fame?" The other said, "Reapin' is a super tough gig. It's not like it is in the video games." You're listening to Reaper Radio That was "Absolutely Fear the Reaper" by Black Oyster Cult, Followed by "Definitely Pay the Ferryman" by Chris De Mise Special message from the top to all the grim reapers out there on the clock Be sure to put the new cover sheet on all your Terminal Participant Selection reports Your final daily grind is when we clock in 'Cause we reap what you sow with no stock options With a seraphim scythe It's a grim life File this Stamp that The blood is in the red And the hood is in the black With a seraphim scythe It's a grim life Malcolm redefines the phrase "death and taxes" Paves the way to the grave with bureaucratic actions He'd the overpaid, undead, afterlife official Boney hands signing papers and writing initials Such are the tribulations of Hack & Slash The duo of doom, red tape, and corporate backlash You're back with Reaper Radio A new message from on high to all employees All decapitants must be processed with form 666 under sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-subsection H In other newsHEY WHAT'REAAAHHHrrggh This is Hack & Slash We control the radio now Furthermore, all music will be DARK ANGELspit gothSICLES and HARDCORE PONG
