CAPITALIST CASUALTIES LYRICS

1. Antiquated Decorum

The sadness in the procession's eyes
Hides behind some lost valor
Resurrected from battles coerced
The betrothed faces of conflict
Praise the flag & recite the prayer book
& look down into the graves for some sort of meaning
See the horrors in memories
On the lips of the sacrificed
The speeches lie of state & Christ
The false heroism of a thousand dead
The impending fascist replies
The answers lay buried with the dead
Upon the fields of criminal blood
Beset by the tragedy of nations on financial ruin
Within the palaces of polluted lands
Is the carving of a warton sickness
Face their imminent dismantling
Marched into death
Instilled pride as breath
Like good soldiers

2. Litigation

Traffic the disputes towards litigation
Ten percent taken under contract of law
Face the client, smiling your arrogance
Shatter their will, hope deprivation
Criminal indifference while victims are buried
Your service decides lives, your reticence to comply plays with the fates of people who only want their promised justice
& only to relieve their suffering
They must deal with your pompous truths
Receive the bloated systems judgement
Pay the greed manufactured law
Triumph of wealth over shit
They don't give you a fucking ounce of respect or humanity in court
You're guilty whenever they decide

3. Peccancy

Torture falls daily on the population
Fallen idolaters take the returns
Processed in humanless painted hallways
Trash offered a cheap existence
The forms tear down your character
See how worthless your life really is
Laid out in figures & biographies
Examined by the faceless worker
Processed & filed into emptiness
Never to be redeemed
They won't help the fallen without stress
& will only let induction into the system
Lead to another broken life

4. Safety Standards

The lawyers can smell the writhing corpses
& manufactures smell a cost cutting sham
It's aimed at our willingness to consume
Any hyped commercial brainwashing
The tests are hastily advanced
Dollar waste to transact
At our expense pain retains rent
Toward collision, towards earth sent
Choke on their fake facts
We are at the mercy of cost effective negligence
Too late, an irretrievable loss
We can't recover

5. A Borrowed Latter

On paper, a battalion of manipulation
Upgraded is a caricature second to none
Birth certificates
Social security numbers of the dead
Reiterate state records & government files
Unbroken identity is ones name maligned
A petulant credit history reborn, hopefully unseen
Tomorrow your future is just a state or even a phone call away
Unsuspecting faceless targets
Criminal endeavor is transformed
So, for the record, it starts again

6. Government Clean-Up Plan

Finally some admissions are made
The destiny of waste overflows
Some new policy of retribution
Dealt out a necessity
The children are coughing up truths
Laying sick in hospital rooms
Partners cry at their misery
As misfortune crashes down
Their total disregarded exceeds
All the suffering that they incur
Bulldozers came to excavate
The solvent laden soil bleeds
Through government closed water wells
Clean up their correction, kill the town
The rank & file politicians
Collect their alibis as one
Protected by jailed lobbyists
A sealed informant owned
Corrupt enough to fabricate
But evasion is the oldest trick
Deny the lucrative land dealings
& just never admit their total disregard
Exceeding criminal acts & intentions
So they cover their ass with government cash
Send out the crews in the dead of night
Erase the seeds of their neglect
& the rushing carcass of society
Into the sea

7. Polar Desert

Ice runs three miles deep
It's the coldest, windiest place on Earth
Scientists found moss-like plants & ancient seashells
A divided scientific community
While a polluted civilization accelerates to a dying past
A remote continent covered in a vast featureless
Sheet of ice

8. Knife Hit

Choke on the knife hit
Control slips away this time
Mind empties out
Wasted hunger for more & more
A slave on the fleeting utopic moment

9. Missing Spokes

Gutter ruined remnant of life
Lost it all in no time
Broken rigs lay empty yet still fatal
Days die, pride lies
Smelling ripe, scared to sleep
On the street is a battered habit
A trial you endure daily
Hide your shit in doorways
All resolve stands to the side
Missing all your spokes
Living in a urine sewer
Cheat everyone you know
Cold in your urban terror

10. Millennium Bug

The prophets laugh at this comedy
Tragedy begets the under laying irony
Canvassing our wonders in darkness
Humanity grid scared like rats
The extinguished light of civility
Crawling the gutters for answers
Feeding of the hopeless population
Lost in the machines
Deserving of this collapse
We fail to breathe on our own

11. Wreckage Reown

A walking example of how one lives
Always stepping on others toes
Without any reflection
Hate enervates all self preservation
So now a perversion of science
As I watch your shortcomings devoured
Unravel & finally disintegrate

12. Friends Go Down

They made you into something
I don't fucking recognize
Drained all the thoughts, inducted & now baptized
In this state I face your change
& look away in disgust
No mind left
Just suits & lies & the disruption
Of the person I knew

Closed & quiet & tame [2x]
Tamed in your shameful dead submission
Locked down in this cage, no outlet for rage
Rupture the life in you, it spills out on the floor
I won't follow you down this shit
I won't listen to your shit

People fall off everyday, I didn't think you would
The crop society says is right is wrong
Just like it should be
I'll let you go
Because you're not worth saving anymore
Your mind went soft
& your heart stopped beating years ago

Closed & quiet & tame [2x]
Tamed in your shameful dead submission
Locked down in this cage, no outlet for rage
Rupture the life in you, it spills out on the floor
I won't follow you down this shit
I won't listen to your shit

13. Holocaust Money

The remittance will never subsist
The borrow of tragic history
Intent on the creation of falsehoods
& funding fascist fugitives
These banks hold countless deaths
In their vaults & accounts
Continuum of the gas chambers
Constant replay of the worst injustice
Repay in complete shame
Those whose ghosts torture your history
Holocaust money
Reaped off the dead
Collaboration of thieves

14. Gig Violence

Don't make us stop playing
We'll take you outside ourselves
& beat in your fucking face
Wrecking our gigs, keep your distance
Shut your trap & swallow your shit

15. Extermination Through Labor

This complication of job culture
We condone its ingrained course
Why we hold so dearly this raping
By the fossilized ethic of pride through work
We carry the concrete on our backs
The worn out basis of capitalist grief
We struggle through days of poverty line pay & laborers pain
Caustic reminder of lost days
We struggle, at war with good wealth
Turning our minds in constant turmoil
The world seems closed & conceit infects
Can't channel the anger & nothing resets except the days
Look to vacate, but duty condescends the freedom to act
Paycheck insults
A wage for a dog
Driven by industry & the collapse of thought
The clocks & alarms can't awaken the fog
Extermination through labor is all you can afford
Only satisfied by the familiar
We prepare the death costs unquestioningly
We retire in 5 & die in 10
Lie, buy, rape, sty
An exercise in futile strife

16. Addiction To Petroleum

The veins of human servitude
Injected & running black
The desolate things of society
Inside tomb-like rows
Dollar trust in flames
Luxury ceased, we go to great lengths to pollute our compulsive breath
We lay our future exposed
Like addicts we daily depend
We sit & watch wars
They are a lax excuse for our corrupt need

17. Border Murders

The bodies turn up daily
Displayed in graphic representation
Lining the southern borders
Refugees meet American patrols
Enforcing the racist agenda
Of patriots & Christian whites
The media cries "serial killer"
A likely case of disinformation
& the cause for the dismissal of clues
Against a well-known army of sanctioned bigots
Are these people being hunted by state (& corporate)?
Approved murders
Loaded with complex war technology & entrusted
To guard this country's southern border with force & prejudice?
Border patrols have have consistently been accused
Of robbing & taping those trying to cross into the U.S. from Mexico
This recent rash of murders has cast its horrible light upon the patrols, despite government plotted disinformation to twist the blame away
Another day the sub rises upon the murdered
Another day of no evidence & too any questions

18. Public Mistrust

Distrust has become second nature
Correspond the lies to fit your life
Bastards overkill this social infection
Everyone knows & everyone accepts
Public mistrust
Mouths are shut
Backs are turned, another burned
When enough mannequins spit out shit sympathy cannot be felt for real
When the population must beg & steal any kind if meaningful truth
We react, know what is false is now fact
With so much garbage in our face
Why believe in anyone?
Why believe in anything?
The truths will be re-recorded to fill in the blanks

19. Modern Schools

Politics belie their education
Outdated & abused it's our foundation
Loading up money for metal detectors
Rape in the halls, pipebombs in lockers
Stifling new ideas with the cash in the hands of administrators
Fossilized textbooks are barley affordable
Piss-poor tenured teachers crush new ideas
Holding onto their jobs through politics
While drugs are sold everywhere
Curriculum money disappears
The decay in schools tells the terrible truth
Bureaucratic bullshit is everywhere

20. Criminal Element

It lays on the soiled couch
& offers the bare minimum
Can't stop the rolling, everything is stolen
Where does it go from here?
When friendships lay bare
Only to find it missing
Lost on your way out
Take your sucked up bullshit
& fucking disappear

21. Storms Somewhere

Locked & hidden in closets
The children stare in horror
Domestic violence only tells so much
Enduring silence & unspoken words
The pigs are there for entertainment
To show America the trash
It's on display, everyday
Watching a family disintegrate
Recording the tragedy in faces
Scorned & beaten
Mistreated abusive violence
Is it entertainment, or society falling out?
In foster homes they still hear the wars
In silence & in darkness
The quiet stirs anxiousness
The slurs & beating are much louder
& never, ever forgotten

22. Square Parts

Harvested like the untrodden ground
In labs & medical think tanks
Used & new body parts to reconstruct humanity
The wealthy sit first in line
Having already decimated their health
Through wretched irresponsible excess
Buying back what has already faltered
Doctors resort to genetic replacement
Invoking the cursed unrestricted advancement
Of biological medical harvesting
The cloning & animal torture
Soon transferred onto humankind
Manipulating the pools of gene splicing
We see our human frame reduced to spare parts
Incubation of the festering evolution of fools
