Institutions rot Foundations crack As progress marches On our fucking backs Falling Farther Faster… Straight to the Bottom We can’t reform What’s been razed More than austere It’s fucking deranged Falling Farther Faster… Straight to the Bottom Socialize Risk Privatize Gain Subsidize Predation It’s fucking insane Race to the Bottom… There’s no coming back
2.
Persist 01:47
After twenty years Commitment hasn’t waned I chose the right path And never fucking strayed I said no compromise… And I meant it I said no compromise… So I didn’t Watch my peers decay Grow old and obsolete Experiments in living Seal their fucking fate I said no compromise… And I meant it I said no compromise… So I didn’t No False Witness My Faith Persists
3.
Decline 01:55
A culture of violence I will not buy in Bottle, needle, gun, or fist Not one a worthy end In vino veritas? Just another lie Told by the powerful to pacify the blind Their social contract…I won’t sign Reject its terms; Reject its bottom line Rites of passage Designed to obscure The truth perceived By those who seek more In vino veritas? Just another lie Told by the powerful to pacify the blind Their social contract…I won’t sign A Faustian bargain….I decline!
4.
An arbitrary clustering Of incoherent views Held together by contempt For those outside the group Can’t justify… The flags they fly Can’t justify… Those ties that bind Assembled not for peace But to bring a sword As their grand narratives Spin in the fucking void Can’t justify… The flags they fly Can’t justify… Those ties that bind Cut the ties That close your mind
5.
Invent a threat; sell some guns Inflate our fears; drop some bombs Grow a cancer; hawk the cure Job creation; blood will pour See the shrinking GNP? We can’t bear the cost of peace First a tragedy, now a farce Security contracts light the dark Send the drones; bill us later Pull the trigger; make us safer Collateral damage? No one cares Protection racket; buy more shares See the shrinking GNP? We can’t bear the cost of peace First a tragedy, now a farce Security contracts light the dark Endless war… What the fuck for?
