I pressed up a limited run of CDs for this album since it was so successful in digital form. The CDs are very bare bones (e.g. no track list) and thus a bit cheaper than my other CDs.
Includes unlimited streaming of Broken Clock : Skeleton Key
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about
You should read Joel Spring's books about education in America. I don't think school is for everyone.
lyrics
When there’s no more books to read
Did you learn to think or get the A+?
Passing the time with a maximum fine
Crooks are freed when fees are paid up
Say what?
For 32 G’s degrees will freeze, you’re iced out
Cold world, to weather the storm’s wisdom
Water proof paint protects the White House
I’d offer resolution but don’t believe there is one
Cause public schools got private rules
Ask Joel Spring to explain the whole thing
Report cards and W-2’s
Ensure the last thing you kiss is a class ring
Who’s this dancing on graveyards without a left foot
Hung over from years of absorb and regurgitate
Twist the cap on 200 proof text books
Sign of the cross to escape swooping birds of prey
What a perfect day to separate church and state
Embrace the flaws of this turn’s emancipation
It’s a part of ya’ll to have a party if it’s worth the wait
So when’s Mardi Gras’ mid-term examination
Dying for the highest score in science or
Math cause art turns class clowns to terrorism
I bet sally overdoses at the pep rally
Let’s tally the votes, but honestly who cares whose winning?
Head of the class is the ass on a puppeteer
The same prototype wins every f@#$ing year
At a keg party, the team captain is sucking beer
While the nerds stuffed in a locker plot revenge
You forgot your friends- and it’s easy to do so
Standardized tests provide everyone a loophole
Sex education provides everyone a loophole
The pledge of allegiance provides everyone a loophole
So don’t shoot, bro.
The parallel of education and social engineering
Is endearing at first, but those who thirst for knowledge are starved
When there’s no food for thought
Binge thinking on an empty stomach.
A friend of mine back in 2004 pointed me to this track and I was mesmerized. Been a huge Illogic fan ever since! Very nostalgic listening to this again presently. I would love to get this album in vinyl record to add to my collection. :) fyrin
I have been listening to variations of this album a long time. I remember I was living in a cardboard dumpster when some young guy was like yo dude it's gonna rain come crash on my couch. He played The Many Faces of Oliver Hart for me. I fell in love, I set my favorite track as Rain because we looped it when the rain came. That was one of the early acts of kindness I received in the nearly 20 years I've been homeless. @NomadRoamsFree
