Lyrics:
Mediate [Version (a)]:

Right now
Right now
Implode my face with 808s
Implode my face with 808s
That's it
That's it


Stitch a cape
Exacerbate
Extrapolate
Undulate
Do not be fake
Wake and bake
Interrupt your date
Makes a waste
Modern hate
Makes a waste
Fornicate
Lacerate
Coagulate
From concentrate
Resuscitate
Touch my face
Now amputate
Amputate
My plastic crate
Emulate
Hang some drapes
Implode my face
With 808s
Now vaccinate
Now vaccinate
Vaccinate
The golden state
My boner aches
Let's make a cake
Or rape an ape
My mom's great
Love me
Designate
Your love as fate
One world state
As human freight
Implode my face
With 808s
Her hair's irate
Crosstown hate
Vaccinate
The golden state
My boner aches
Let's make a cake
Or rape an ape
And make our way
??
My mum's great
Exaggerate
A singer's fate
Less awake
Less awake
Emulate
Emulate
Emulate
Emulate
Emulate
Emulate
Now vaccinate
Vaccinate
Vaccinate
Now stitch a cape
Stitch a cape
Stitch a cape
My mom is great
My dad is great
My sister's awesome
Implode my face
With 808s
Her hair's irate
Now John and Kate
Yea, John and Kate
 
The Song:

"Mediate" is a short song on INXS' album, Kick. Beck and his fourth Record Club project covered the album in its entirety.

The original is a slow burn of a song, as Michael Hutchence runs through a whole bunch of phrases that rhyme with "-ate".

The Record Club mostly ignored all the original lyrics, coming up with their own much stranger phrases that also rhyme with "-ate."
