American Zen
"American zen,
My happy zone,
More Tao than thou,
More Dao than Ohm"

Lyrics
Fuck it
A moment of clarity, carefree epiphany
Better than Tai Chi, Chai Tea, or Trinity
Benevolent testament, profane and eloquent
Elemental, arrested development
A meditation on sublimation
So cryptic, mystic, a mantra holistic
American zen, my happy zone
More Tao than thou, more Dao than ohm
Fuck it

Notes and Quotes
- • "The national motto should be Fuck It. It seems to guide most decisions from running red lights to getting married to making ridiculous 60 song albums." - Mik
• "The basic idea was that since I'm so allergic to using premade loops I would try to make something using ONLY loops and samples. Branch out into a different kind of creativity- sort of musical collage. I got pretty close... just added some vocals, organ, and flute on top." - Mik
