Everytime I listen to this band I feel a bit richer. Everytime I read their lyrics it's like I wanna quit my dayjob and do something that actually matters. From their stunning 2003 full-length debut "Retaliation" to their latest effort, the just as stunning "Traitors" (2008), including all of their EP's and split releases, which is quite a few, I just can't get enough of this awesome grind/death outfit.
Absolutely brilliant vid.
Lyrics to "American Idolatry"
Burn, burn, Hollywood, burn...
Fetishized model-whores, images, airbrushed hardcore
Harlots, Hiltons, egoistic, wanton waifs
Plastic, paramours, skank pawns of culture war
Fake tits, facelifts
300 years of "enlightenment" comes to this?
(Voltaire is laughing, and Rousseau is puking!)
The joke is on us all
Their faces dissolve into thin air
They are trite and listless
They are empty vessels
They are ink and pixels... yet they walk the earth as gods
Practitioner professionals of sloth, so fucking worthless
This worshiped parasite-celeprosy, let's start the fire
And melt those plastic faces into dust
The carrion of leisure-class fueled waste
This narcissistic venerated filth
The icons of a clueless populace
The idols of a nation in decline
Fetishized model-whores, images, airbrushed hardcore
Harlots, Hiltons, egoistic, wanton waifs
Plastic, paramours, skank pawns of culture war
Fake tits, facelifts
300 years of "enlightenment" comes to this?
(Voltaire is laughing, and Rousseau is puking!)
The joke is on us all
Their faces dissolve into thin air
They are trite and listless
They are empty vessels
They are ink and pixels... yet they walk the earth as gods
Practitioner professionals of sloth, so fucking worthless
This worshiped parasite-celeprosy, let's start the fire
And melt those plastic faces into dust
The carrion of leisure-class fueled waste
This narcissistic venerated filth
The icons of a clueless populace
The idols of a nation in decline
Lyrics to "Ruling Class Canceled"
Class is canceled!
Counter-hegemonics
Multitudes in swarm
On nations at the center
who watch their world deform
This global insurrection was given birth by the ruling class!
And the children of empire, whose world this is to take
Open up the seventh seal and watch the west decay!
Apocalyptic riders, above black horse's hooves
Have come to reap their harvest, to taste their labor's fruits
O' begotten Caesar!
You can't deny what is theirs...
And quickly you forget
Just how YOUR west was won...
...then lost
Counter-hegemonics
Multitudes in swarm
On nations at the center
who watch their world deform
This global insurrection was given birth by the ruling class!
And the children of empire, whose world this is to take
Open up the seventh seal and watch the west decay!
Apocalyptic riders, above black horse's hooves
Have come to reap their harvest, to taste their labor's fruits
O' begotten Caesar!
You can't deny what is theirs...
And quickly you forget
Just how YOUR west was won...
...then lost
Oh, and on stage, they're fucking even better.
