Mr. Bungle - Retrovertigo Lyrics






Before you advertise
All the fame is implied
With no fortune unseen
Sell the rights to your blight time machine
While I'm dulled by excess (dulled by excess)
And a cynic at best (cynic at best)
My art imitates crime
Paid for by the allies, so invest

Now I'm finding truth is a ruined, nauseous end that nobody is pursuing
Staring into glassy eyes, mesmerized
There's a vintage thirst returning, but I'm sheltered by my channel surfing
Every famine virtual
Retrovertigo

A tribute to false memories with conviction, cheap imitation
Is it fashion or disease? Post-ironic, remains a mouth to feed

Sell the rights to your blight and you'll eat

Now I'm finding truth is a ruined, nauseous end that nobody is pursuing
Staring into glassy eyes, mesmerized
See the vintage robot wearied then awakened by revision theories
Every famine virtual
Retrovertigo

  1. B.... R....

    I love it!!!! New fan here!!!

  2. c.... a....

    3:14 And then comes in the fucking Nightman!

  3. b.... k....

    I've never had a favorite song until..

  4. A.... R....

    I think it's really well made, brilliant timing, man. I just can't say I agree with the message. So, they're all cheating and their lives are empty. They deserve to die for that? The little dude's character seems to me to almost be a metaphor for the internet, the underbelly of angry incels living in big nice houses with their rich parents, judging them for how "superficial" they are, yet the only answer they have is to burn it all down. The dude literally becomes a part of the facless cult at the end. It is haunting, man, I just don't agree with it. They were just people, living their lives, making mistakes, like we ALL do. You think whatever that cult leader has to offer is better?

    Idk, man. It's so well done. But, I guess maybe because I grew up poor, the whole "the suburban middle-class is so hollow" trope always rings a little sour to me. The people the cult kill, they're imperfect, yes, but just people, man.

  5. P.... ....

    ele parece um bebê véio

  6. S.... S....

    The beginning goes is the same chord progression of that one don’t hug me I’m scared vid where they try to make him join a cult without him knowing

  7. H.... S....

    So wait one guy gets shot, two get stabbed with sabres and the mom just gets a cartoon bonk over the head with a glass bottle? The heck what did the other lady do wrong! Fug!

    Playing instruments to these songs in a band off this album after basic helped me get through to now. When you know no one it doesn't matter who you ate but music helps people see faster than words.

  12. e.... C....

    I remember this from my middle school years, first album of Mike Patton I bought myself. I wish I still had the CD in good shape.

  57. D.... S....

    Again the best fkg video !!!! This should be the OFFICIAL VIDEO PERIOD!
