Atlas: The Singer Is a Crook!

Finally, I know what Tyondai Braxton is saying in Battles' classic "Atlas".
The lyrics are as follows:

"People won't be people when they hear this sound
That's been glowing in the dark at the edge of town
People won't be people, no
The people won't be people when they hear this sound
Won't you show me what begins at the edge of town

The singer is a crook
The singer is a crook
The singer is a crook
The singer is a crook
The kitchen is the cook
The scissors are the barbers
The singer is a crook
The chorus, full of actors*"

*on the last chorus, they say "The Chorus Doesn't Matter"

Thanks to Drowned in Sound for pulling this out of 'em.
Now I can sing along for reals!
