lyrics

SCREW YOURSELF

My world doesn‘t revolve around you
How many hours do we spend on weeping over our First World Problems?
Or liberty, prosperity sickens us
Go screw yourself consumerism.

Take care to prevent them from starving
she told him, before she got on the train
while she entered the ring, glorified by the glittering crowd

presented and shrouded in fallicious velvet
they sat in front of the screens gnawing at mildewed bread.

How disgusting
we are paying five bucks to hold a mirror up to ourselves
and we feel amused
we open our eyes wide with dismay
watching the flames fading out of latticed factories
nevertheless we´re walking home with filled plastic bags
Our pets are better preserved
than the humans we are sending our disguised donations to.

Is a maximum desirable? We are responible, and we can‘t wash our hands in innocence.
