All lyrics are taken straight from Aesop's book "The Living Human Curiosity Sideshow"

I got sick of reading incorrect lyrics to his songs online and on youtube videos. Here is the official version.

Please comment, like, and share. Enjoy!

I heard this song and knew it well before I had ever seen blade runner, so when I finally watched it I was "wtf do I know that from? Aesop??!! No fucking way." so dope.

This song is weird if you have symptoms of IBS; It's like: I can feel it in my gut and it feels like the corporate destruction of our world is in my stomach

Is this a single version? It's different from the one on float, but I kind of like this one better

Anyone know the horn sample used throughout? I know Blockhead used Vangelis for the synths...

these lyrics are so incredible and dense, that reading them in time with the song doesn't give me enough time to think about. I find myself pausing the video every couple bars just to think about what he actually just said. Love Aesop Rock.

Would someone be able to tell me the horn sample that plays over the Yusef Lateef guitar sample and the Vangelis synths? (during hook and end of song)?

I took it as we'll let dantes interpretation decide where he sits.

i think it just refers to what the 9 circles of hell, each representing a different sin i.e. lust, greed, anger heresay. And since Dante wrote the book, he refers to the author....i don't think many people have actually read the book, but many people have heard of dante and would get that reference.

ive got 9 million different shades of love for this song, but one part always kinda irked me.. he says "we'll let dante decide which ring im on" but in dantes in inferno wasn't minos, former king of crete, the judge of the damned? maybe im missing something here..

Does anyone know why they're is another version with less quality and a sample at second verse and at the end? Why did that not appear or was it only on limited edition float
