The Most Serene Republic – Career in Shaping Clay Lyrics 13 years ago
Line 9 is incorrect. It's actually "value of sense, how apt?"

Also, a lot of lines are repeated, and in semantically important ways, some sung at the same time as others, so here's an alternative transcription of the whole song:


21st so far is hazed
Judgement by the "like" in views made.
Permanence has run away,
Hand in hand with
Career in shaping clay.

Fast in speaking
Is one talking?
Choices making [“Is one talking?” sung simultaneously]
Fine whose watching?
Fast in speaking [“Choices making” sung simultaneously]
Is one talking?
Choices making [“Fine who’s watching?” sung simultaneously]
Fine who’s watching?

I've been told that it's a tree.
Grow and back as long in seasons.

Put here heroes or placed there forest fires.
Value of sense how apt?
Quality low with mass.

Fast in speaking
Is one talking?
Choices making [“Is one talking?” sung simultaneously]
Fine whose watching?
Fast in speaking [“Choices making” sung simultaneously]
Is one talking?
Choices making [“Fine who’s watching?” sung simultaneously]
Fine who’s watching?

How distorted must it be
Before a fuzz commons acoustic… [interrupted by next line]
How distorted must it be
Before a fuzz commons acoustic sea?
