BRAINDEAD HUMANITY [1:08]
we watch pollutants float and lift
with gas from cows whose throats we slit
pollution haze is awfully thick
the earth gets hotter, scorched and crisp
overcrowded urban bliss
our noses squished, we're sniffing pits
[forgot lyrics]
braindead humanity
braindead humanity
braindead humanity
humanity is braindead
braindead humanity
braindead humanity
braindead humanity
humanity is braindead
individual thought is nixed
our minds are in a knotted twist
go goo goo ga for glamor, glitz
ignore the poor, neglect the twits
the richest of the richest rich
who own the news, the truth, the clips
control the information bits
and, by extension, idiots
they’re screwing shut our stupid lips
so screw free speech with censorship
illogic’s actually logic when
it seems right so you force a fit
if this is the apocalypse
we'll grab a beer and chair and chips
and scroll through doomsday memes and vids and ads!
braindead humanity
braindead humanity
braindead humanity
humanity is braindead
braindead humanity
braindead humanity
so much stupidity
humanity is braindead
we've all lost our heads
we're all dumb as dirt
and our brains are dead
braindead!
SOMETHING IN THE WAY / WE'RE THE FERTILIZED EGGS [0:42 – originally by nirvana, duh]
underneath the bridge
the tarp has sprung a leak
and the animals i've trapped
have all become my pets
and i'm living off of grass
and the drippings from the ceiling
it's okay to eat fish
'cause they don't have any feelings
something in the way
whoa
we're the fertilized eggs
whoa, oh
something in the way
whoa
we're the fertilized eggs
whoa, oh
SHOWER NAKED [0:51]
shower naked
shower naked
it’s the only way to truly get clean
shower naked
shower naked
don’t you want to be a part of our scene?
scrub off all the dirt
scrub it squeaky clean
scrub until it hurts
scrub until it bleeds
shower naked
shower naked
it’s the only way to truly get clean
shower naked
shower naked
don’t you want to be a part of our scene?
scrub off all the dirt
scrub it squeaky clean
scrub until it hurts
scrub until it bleeds
it bleeds, it bleeds, bleeds
rinse out every orifice
behind your ears, in both your pits
and wash your hair with fresh shampoo
that smells like flowers
lather in between your toes
make sure you take off all your clothes
cuz nothing feels as good
as taking naked showers
VOMIT VACUUM [0:47]
i’m not gonna bother talking to you
nobody pays attention to me anyway
i’m not gonna bother talking to you
nobody pays attention
suck these vomit chunks up off of my shoes
it’s some putrid mucus and it smells like eggs
suck these vomit chunks up off of my shoes
nasty, putrid mucus
vomit vacuum
suction backed up
spew it back out
i’m not gonna bother talking to you
nobody pays attention to me anyway
suck these vomit chunks up off of my shoes
nobody pays attention!
vomit vacuum
suction backed up
spew it back out!
"If you find something better than this let us know, because for us what this Bee Cave four-piece has done, puts the cherry on top of a first half of a great year for punk..." – Tremendo Garaje
“… manages, at crazy speeds, obsessive compulsive singing, guitars like hail and a synth to make everything even more weird in its compactness and inconsistent coherence.” – In Your Eyes Zine, roughly translated from Italian
"... they've probably produced one of the finest bits of punk in 2022... It's easily one of the best things for your ears, EVER!" – Noise Merchant Records [noisemerchantrecords.bandcamp.com]
