* "Who Are the Brain Police?", in which it seems that the record itself questions the existence of your thoughts and the validity of relationship with art (with a midsong break of pure terror, including someone chanting ''"I think I'm gonna die...''"), and "It Can't Happen Here", a demented barbershop quartet in which 4 of the strangest men you will ever meet assure you that ''"it"'', whatever it is, can't happen here....right?

And let's not forget the JumpScare of a scream that pops up about a third of the way through the song.

* The tragic fate of Joe is one AdultFear after another. After a run-in with the police due to a noise complaint, Joe is informed to go to church, where he and a woman named Mary have a brief fling before drifting apart; Mary then allows herself to become a glorified fucktoy for various touring bands, letting them have their way with her until she's a brain-dead shell of her former self. Joe meets another woman, Lucille, whom he loves dearly but gives him a painful venereal disease. Distraught, Joe decides to turn to religion, only to inadvertently join a cult-like ChurchOfHappyology where the leader scams him out of his money and gaslights him into thinking he's sexually attracted to machines. After getting arrested for breaking his sex robot, Joe goes to prison and gets [[PrisonRape raped repeatedly]] by Bald-Headed John and the other inmates. Once he is released, Joe learns that music has become illegal, destroying his livelihood and life's passion. He goes insane from this, suffering vivid hallucinations before ultimately surrendering to the reality of the situation and resigning himself to a life of monotonous factory work. All the while, the Central Scrutinizer intones via his CreepyMonotone that Joe brought all of this on himself and this tragic fate will befall us as well unless we give up our liberties to the corrupt government the Scrutinizer represents.
