about

“Dr. Megalo” is definitely the oldest of the bunch, as we’ve been working on it in some way, shape or form since the 90s. It originally had different lyrics and a more stagnant vibe... which thankfully got tossed aside for the version you hear today. For some reason the original title stuck, and we continued to refer to it as “Dr. Megalo” even though the lyrical content suggests otherwise. This tune was always a blast to play live, and gave birth to some of our finest stage moves.

lyrics

The office lights were out; the staff had all gone home.
The CEO was calling, but you weren't picking up the phone.

Did they know that you were there? Did you volunteer for the part?
Did they know you're in the back room shredding papers in the dark?

When the shit hits the fan, all they're asking you to do...
is not necessarily lying, not necessarily the truth.

When the documents have been hauled off and the investigation's through;
does it come as a surprise the unnecessary one is you?

Captains of industry sail on ships built of conceit.
They make bullshit look good on paper, then dump the papers out at sea.

If it had worked, you'd have took the honor.
As it turns out, you'll take the fall.
They set you up, now take the fall.
