You cheer and you cheer for your corporate-funded idol with faith in the vote to wash your fears away.
Left side, right side, this campaign is a lullaby and it's putting you to sleep as they continue to keep us in check and call the shots. We nourish their power, they watch us rot.
These mannequin faces only care about corporate interests, not yours.
Two wings, though separated, are still part of the same vulture.
Further into debt we crawl, one person cannot save us all.
Collectively we make the call to grant control, concede the fall.
You push for change with each new candidate, you're planting weeds in soil that's pushing daisies.
This system's profit over people, minority over majority, privilege over equality, the wealthy over you and me.
"So cast your vote to the electoral college! We appreciate your will to participate as well as your suggestions. And remember, use it or lose it."
The ballot is bullshit.
These mannequin faces only care about corporate interests, not yours.
Two wings, though separated, are still part of the same vulture.
Belly up, on our backs, we watch them circle; open arms to the attack.
We give our bodies so they stay full. Desperate sacrifice for a scavenger.
No more sacrifice for a scavenger.
Break open my ribs, tear through my chest. The dependent are held by the complacent, the weak prey on the dead.
Break open my ribs, tear through my chest. The dependent are held by the complacent, the weak prey on the dead, so rise up.
This excellent EP swings from lurching post-hardcore to shadowy dark rock, anchored by a shattering vocal performance. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 20, 2018
