Lyrics:

Here comes the kraken.
Nowhere Beach

Listen. Native drums are sounding
Listen. To that Pagan beat
Listen. Ocean waves are pounding.
Listen… Can you hear it?
Hear the, hear the, hear the, hear the

The Kraken
Watch your back its
The Kraken
Hide your cash its
The Kraken
And watch your mouth or you’ll end up in a paddy wagon

The Kraken
Wear your mask its
The Kraken
Do the math its
The Kraken
And watch your tweets or you’ll end up in a paddy wagon

Once upon a time you could say what you wanted to say,
Now you gotta serve and obey.
Once upon a time you could think what you wanted to think,
But we saw that good ship sink

Some blamed the wall street sharks, some say the whales,
Caused life as we knew it to fail.
But we gave a name to the beast, and we tried to catch it at least,
But it slipped through our teeth.

We were those inglorious basterds, chasing the masters
While they caused disasters
Hell bent on revenge for our kind, but it was all by their design
And we were out of our minds.

Shot’s what you get when you pursue a trained assassin,
The Kraken, the fucking Kraken…
And now he’s everlasting.

Listen. Native drums are sounding
Listen. To that Pagan beat
Listen. Ocean waves are pounding.
Listen… Can you hear it?
Hear the, hear the, hear the, hear the

The Kraken
Watch your back its
The Kraken
Hide your cash its
The Kraken
And watch your mouth or you’ll end up in a paddy wagon

The Kraken
Wear your mask its
The Kraken
Do the math its
The Kraken
And watch your tweets or you’ll end up in a paddy wagon

Legend of the island.
Legend of the island.
Legend of the island.
Nowhere Beach

Who banned the cure?
Who banned talking about the fucking cure?
The Kraken.
Who killed the truth?
Who killed the guy who spoke the fucking truth?
The Kraken.

Who put us all under house arrest?
Who slapped us with a phonebook and made us confess?
Who planted the seeds that divided mankind?
Then censored our thoughts and fucked with our minds

He hears what you say and he reads what you write
And even in the day he’ll convince you that it’s night.
Every one of his 5 eyes are green
And his desire for power makes him mean

Seems we’re mesmerised by his power and his size
Look into his cold dead eyes
As his tentacles squeeze you’ve got nothing to say
The Kraken’s what happens when you choose to obey.

Listen. Native drums are sounding
Listen. To that Pagan beat
Listen. Ocean waves are pounding.
Listen… Can you hear it?
Hear the, hear the, hear the, hear the

The Kraken
Watch your back its
The Kraken
Hide your cash its
The Kraken
And watch your mouth or you’ll end up in a paddy wagon

The Kraken
Wear your mask its
The Kraken
Do the math its
The Kraken
And watch your tweets or you’ll end up in a paddy wagon

OUTRO (scratched):

Once upon a time you could say, say, say
The Kraken’s what happens when you choose to obey
Obey, obey, Kraken, Obey, the Kraken
Once upon a time you could say what you wanted to say,
Choose to obey
Obey, obey, obey, obey, obey

The Kraken.
