about

i wrote this diddie after moving to the big city and doing a big old buncha drugs for a while. it talks about the double standards often found around living room table in urban centers all around this lovely world. it tackles exploitative behaviour and the personal distance needed for us good people to participate in bad things.

lyrics

there's a plage on the masses
leads the heard to poisoned water
steel rolling caskets
ostracize their fattest daughter
does it make it worse
if a smoker kills you?
rolling in a hearse
burns fossil fuels, do you take issue?

organic local shit filled with top-grade MDMA
poured into the lakes feed fresh-caught fish we eat today
a break in the sunshine, your wallet filled with lies
you do you i'll get mine they'll try to blind my eyes

let's do blow in your living room
tell me how you'll fix it soon
come work with me
dishwashing with a PHD in poli-sci sustainable rhetoric

shame on a system that hasn't cured my first world guilt yet
quit your bitchin' we got spider man-themed suicide net
livin' in squalor, your red neck problem
i vent my fears into a grinder bottom
livin' in terror, dignity is lost
system error, spend your life scared of the cost
we're rats in the city. you say there's fire in your blood
wake up in the morning hate your life you fucking chud

chorus

it's morning in your living room
secure in life but you'll be infirm soon
we're al lost in life

safe in your living room
secure in life but you'll be infirm soon
we're all lost in life

scared of the pain you caused
don't forget your visa for santa cause
we're all lost in life

chorus

standatd tuning/open chords:
Am, Dm, G, C, Em
but all mixed up in diffrent patterns and such
