for a limited time, for a special price, an offer unlike, anything you've seen before Don't miss out Don't even blink, Before you know it, It's all gone What more could you want? Tell me about your dreams- sign on the dotted line and we'll take of care of everything Go / back / to / sleep you / can / trust / us Sign on bonus - mail-in rebate an ounce of flesh- competitive wage What you have to give is ours to take cut-throat, death void paid holiday I know that you're afraid, but that impending doom you're feeling can be cured, once your payment has gone through take a credit card, take the financing We offer you a better life beyond your wildest dreams and you'll swear you'd didn't know just did what you were told The bills were late, and the world would end if you missed the quota but i've been watching your performance/like poetry in motion/ you're bloodthirsty, cutthroat up for promotion- you're gonna go far kid!

Baby im a falling plane Angel, I'm a sinking ship all that glitters ain't gold but the rest is worthless Will you kneel at the altar of record profits A sacrificial lamb of forecasted losses? will you accept communion of faulty product? and who are you to call it heartless? there's blood on your hands too All you know is to bitch and consume and yet you're still here and I sleep just fine Tell me your price Tell me your price Name it, I'll pay it Paper or plastic - whatever you want, baby, just sign the contract I'd like to thank all of you for making it out to this quarters meeting of the board. As the chart in our report shows, profits have never been higher- and despite the current litigation and resulting civil unrest, our numbers are the best they've ever been. We've built the beast- we'll gut the competition, and I'd like to thank your empty hearts, our little secret weapon! Remember, the sky is the limit There's catering in the lobby - see everyone of you next fiscal quarter! name your price
3.
Are you lost and alone? drowning in debt, a decaying home? powerless to save yourself, from the riptide and swells? Come to us and we can help - We've got the salvation you need Sign on the line, come join the team come change the world, the money is easy- Today is the first day of the rest of your life- we're not just a job here- we're family - You're going to bleed, and we all die rich everyone's gonna die rich
4.
bitter and hateful / bubblegum flavor the bile taste cuts through- No paragon of virtue here You really wanna know the truth? fuck-ing ha ha ha ha ha fucking ha ha You're a sucker - the jokes on you I'm the magnet / running laps / around your cheap plastic moral compass, fingers crossed /behind my back soaked with the blood of innocents let me make one thing clear: This ain't a revolution / and it never was I'm gonna take my money and run
5.
how do you pick which trigger to pull? who do you pull it for? how did you choose with organ to sell how much you sell it for? money and blood money and blood money and blood and blood and blood I am filled with endless hunger I melt like a candy bar I am filled with the love of a God that left us alone like a dog in a hot car I am filled with a clutch of hard cash I am filled with scopolamine I am filled with the love of a God who pulled the plug on your breathing machine I am filled with breathless voices I am filled with ecstasy I am filled with the love of a God singing a hymn that goes "come for me" I am filled with the tongues of angels My viscera could be your church I am filled with the love of a God who spits in your face. while you you beg for worse
6.
I'm the real thing I've got what what you need / I'm gonna build the better bomb / Im gonna eat your fucking heart out/ the cloud goes up/ it's all going down / Before you is a nation of roaches the hunger of survival runs deep - you're a beast inside a beast inside a rotting beast we get what we deserve I wish I'd seen your face / as you look out over the wasteland melting from the inside out You feel the writhing carapace crush and shred inside your mouth oh baby, you swallow
7.
This is our river bed - aluminum cans, broken glass - sludge and plastic - We're hiding in the reeds along the shore There was a house here once, but not anymore- we let the world corrode away - passive, avoidable ecological decay - I miss watching the TV I miss electricity I miss air conditioning I know just when I would get to eat There's a deer with 6 legs There's a deer with 2 heads I loose an arrow - and I miss And I miss We didn't know how good we had it Before the world was burned and blackened We took everything/ for granted
8.
Microplastic tongue leaded broken bones CV Monitor Landfill day dreams grow out among the rot fuck among the waste I gave my life for the rat race, I was only paid in faith kill me ill just come back I'm a survivor Nothing kills me Nothing kills me Nothing kills me survivors in their thrifted suits Talons wrapped around your throat rending flesh from the bones piece by piece by piece - piece by piece by piece You tried to take the cowards way out No way- no how fuck around and find out
9.
it's the end of the world! the last harvest season- let's burn this fucker down apocalypse economy dead on arrival you saw the monster you start the riot I am a marvel of modern science I am the rats and the rotting smell i am the run off that poisoned the well, I am who spit into the face of God and i will march backwards,down into hell you wanna kill me you wanna kill me so bad but you're too fucking scared and I ain't fucking dead yet it's all gonna be mine it's all gonna be mine I'm the creeping inside your walls, I am the reason they sounded the bell I am who spit into the face of God and i will march backwards, down into hell it's gonna hurt it's gonna hurt it's gonna hurt it's gonna hurt your body / an offer/ to the queen of limbs make it hurt
10.
I am pregnant with fifty mutant wasps /and I am keeping every one/ I' am gonna raise them to do right/to know the real fear of our God I will tuck each and every one into bed / you will never feel such love as when/ they draw a family portrait/ finger painting with your fresh blood/ you will never feel such love as when we drink of / the flowers that bloom with your demise never in your life / there is still / so much /to pray to / on the earth
11.
Sweet child, look out at the tower tops as they peak from water at low tide The earth all quiet The earth all quiet The earth all quiet In the nuclear summertime a ring of rosey fire from coast to coast, the air thick with all these ghosts between the cold and the carbon wind mourn the world left for you to play in x2 and yet we've carried on Our irradiated dreams were realized a humble feast for the thrashing teeth of the passage of time - watch the towers tops / as they peek from the water at low tide The earth all quiet in the nuclear summertime and we still sing - "Ring around the rosey pocket full of posey, ashes, ashes we all fall down" The earth, all quiet in the nuclear summertime

about

this record is about money and violence and desperation and apathy and war, and what those things transform us into, and how, piece by piece, the struggle to survive and thrive in the capitalist imperialist hellscape we live in can cost us our very humanity.

thank you for everything
