PURE WORLD Lyrics & Music: Brodie Rush It's all the same when you flip it on it's side When you poke it in the eye and you render it blind A different world like the same world Nothing like the old world mocking at the ancient world you got it It's not fair... I don't care if it's not It's not fair when you stick it in your pocket And you take it out and shop it to the kids of the world Trash in the street Kick it with your feet 'Cuz it's better to fly right but you'll right it off, right it off Pure World (Your world is a pure world today) Pure World (Your world is a pure world today) 'Cuz everything's gone so wrong And I'm looking out for someone to blame it on I like swimmin' in the current And I seem to want to do it just to get my kicks on your... Pure World Pure World Pure World Pure World Pure World (Your world is a pure world today) Pure World (Your world is a pure world today) And I was there to tell the secrets of the prophets To the people who would listen as I asked for a dime A wicked world like the same world Nothing like the old world knocking on the ancient world you got a...

DO THE HEAT Lyrics & Music: Brodie Rush If she never really talked before She sure could do it now Monkey's being quarantined Containing her meow Ralphy's in the closet calculating his escape On the phone he's making plans to easily escape Down the street The scalpels lying on the table Doctor's sipping coffee while he reads the morning paper Every night the kitty cat is clawing at my door Keeping me awake just like he did the night before Moaning every morning she do I could get some sleep if it weren't for you... now Do the heat (It's just all the rage) Do the heat (it's just a phase) Nature calls the spirit of emotion Birds and bees So hand me the lotion Monkey's got her fuzzy butt-a propped up straight in the air Ralph has got his rocket flying here and everywhere Ooh, Down in the alley by the garbage can Keeping my appointment for half past ten Anesthesia to put him out Down the street you can hear him shout now Do the heat (It's just all the rage) Do the heat (it's just a phase) Do the heat (It's just all the rage) Do the heat (it's just a phase) Doctor don't you hurt them Just don't let them breed Maybe just some kibbles just give them some relief Do the heat (It's just all the rage) Do the heat (it's just a phrase) Do the heat (It's just all the rage) Do the heat (it's just a phrase) Nature calls the spirit of emotion Birds and bees So hand me the lotion Nature calls the spirit of emotion Birds and bees So hand me the lotion

KEEP IT CLEAN Lyrics & Music: Brodie Rush Soul baby you keep it clean When your power's gone I see the crystal ball I've got to let it bleed Misty night a sip of moonshine And grow another eye Wait until the horses get you And lift you to the sky So crazy to keep it clean When the powder's gone It's clean or so it seems I've got to make it gleem I am here to excite So people say I'm dynomite This is a whitewash dream It takes a tonka truck diamond machine Shame you didn't keep it clean Cha! That it wasn't your belief Hot! As the sun it was in June Soap bitch! You keep it clean When the shower it broke. 'Cuz in the trenches of the city night life You flex your muscle throat All the while you divide your time to Adjust your state of mind Suddenly the angels grab you I'll always wonder why

LUCY Lyrics & Music: Brodie Rush Australopithecines paving the way For billions of people And starting a day When people grew and grew into people And maybe leaving a bone That resembles a feature By the delicate slope of your face Lucy walks uncanny from the fleet Beside the rest at their evolutionary peak And we feel that it was always ever known When sifting out the bone that's been embedded into stone Don't let us find out About the monkey mother And her spawn became our grandma if you think about it Lucy walks uncanny from the fleet Beside the rest at their evolutionary peak And we feel that it was always ever known When sifting out the bone that's been embedded into stone

STARING CONTEST WITH A PSYCHIC COW Lyrics & Music: Brodie Rush The golden light from the silvery disk Smoke rolling out from your finger tips Monkey see and monkey do We don't know what you're going through Look in my eyes and concentrate Letting the cows decide your fate Tarot cards and hippy shit Don't be afraid I'll be back in a bit Follow me down a dark hallway Mexican pop for the holidays Wanna get up but I'm just too weak It happened to my girl just the other week I've got no problem with a stare down As long as it isn't with a cow I think of them all when I'm falling asleep Don't bother me when I'm counting the sheep New hot pants in a mason jar I wanna walk home but I know it's too far (It's way too far) Playing the soundtrack that is your life Everything you want, you've had to fight for (It's way too far) You grew up smart and well adjusted Discovered the lie, you never trusted Nodding off, I'm starting to cough Got something here that will help you lots I've got no problem with a stare down As long as it isn't with a cow I think of them all when I'm falling asleep Don't bother me when I'm counting the sheep What the fuck is the matter with you? You treated like I was nothing to you? But now I got the power just to look in your mind! You're broken and busted you're a waste of my psychic time!!! Psychic!!! (How do I know?) I'm the Psychic Cow! Psychic!!! I'm the Psychic Cow! (How do I know?) Psychic!!! I'm the Psychic Cow! (How do I know?) Psychic!!! Don't you know I'm psychic?

about

The troubled "Freedom Palace" LP was recorded over 12 years ago in the summer of 2006 by Paul Malinowski and Brodie Rush in Kansas City, Missouri. Anodyne Records commissioned Be/Non to re-record songs from, "RAN" and "Esperanto At The Pantheon, Incognito" along with other unreleased material. Be/Non was performing as a 5-piece group before recording negotiations began in 2006. Directly before pre-production, the band lost its drummer of 3 years and was actively searching for a replacement. Brodie filled in on drums for two songs and Billy Brimblecom played drums on another track, while Adam Phillips of The Architects played drums on the album's remaining songs.

The album "Freedom Palace" was never pressed or released. Because a contractual arrangement could not be agreed upon between Anodyne Records and Be/Non, the band would not see an album released until 2009, "A Mountain Of Yeses". In 2014, John Hulston of Anodyne Records graciously gave Brodie Rush full rights to the "Freedom Palace" recordings and masters, breathing in new life.

Finally, for the entire world, for better or for worse, Be/Non and Haymaker Records would like to present the final mix of "Freedom Palace" the way it was originally intended. This release bridges the gap between the long absence of recordings from Be/Non between 1998 and 2009. A time capsule of compositions, energy and productions that never saw the light of day. Now, on the 12th anniversary of its original intended release, we present to you, with new artwork and updated packaging, Be/Non's "Freedom Palace".
