Perfect World
In the late 1990s / early 2000s, Larry's brother Charles Norman formed the band Softcore, who later changed their name to Guards Of Metropolis. The final three songs on Larry's Collaborator album are Softcore demos with Larry replacing Kristin's vocals (and altering some of the lyrics)

lyrics version 1
Turn off your television
There ain't nothing you'll be missing
Open up your eyes and look around
We're surrounded by corruption
A world of self destruction
No more lines between what's right and wrong
This is right where I belong
It's a perfect world
It's a perfect world
To be or not to be the place for me
Is right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
I bite the hand that feeds me
Turn my back on those who need me
Right before I kick them when they're down
I have learned my lessons clearly
From a world that loves me dearly
Greed is good and selfishness is fun
Look out for number one
It's a perfect world
It's a perfect world
To be or not to be the place for me
Is right here, right now
Right here
Right now
It's a perfect world
It's a perfect world
To be or not to be the place for me
Is right here, right now
It's a perfect world
It's a perfect world
And all this hate in me has set me free
I'll pass it along
There ain't nothing you'll be missing
Open up your eyes and look around
We're surrounded by corruption
A world of self destruction
No more lines between what's right and wrong
This is right where I belong
It's a perfect world
It's a perfect world
To be or not to be the place for me
Is right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
I bite the hand that feeds me
Turn my back on those who need me
Right before I kick them when they're down
I have learned my lessons clearly
From a world that loves me dearly
Greed is good and selfishness is fun
Look out for number one
It's a perfect world
It's a perfect world
To be or not to be the place for me
Is right here, right now
Right here
Right now
It's a perfect world
It's a perfect world
To be or not to be the place for me
Is right here, right now
It's a perfect world
It's a perfect world
And all this hate in me has set me free
I'll pass it along
