The irony, you think you're free Being who you want to be Fuck the violence in your scene And fuck the hive drone colony Carrier rats of the emotional plague I'll say it clear, I won't be vague What's liberation if you're only reacting? A whole lot of posturing, disease contracting. Counterculture does not exist. Self important masochist. Feed yourself a loser script. Swallow rehashed, trite bullshit. Slap some logos on my record, I'm a sham Here's an inverted pentagram! Pseudo-intellectual sophistry, Dressed up as philosophy. Let's get high, let's get drunk We'll both go out and then we'll fuck. We'll probably feel guilty later, Pretty Selfish Immolator. Counterculture does not exist. Self important nihilist. Feed yourself a loser script. Swallow rehashed, trite bullshit.

We got a ministry of cliches To control the population We can sell you apathy Stand in line for indoctrination Got a way to control your mind And all your rebels are carefully selected Spun out and wasting time Watered down and misdirected We are the gods of heroin chic Taste the granite cock of mammon Give you poisoned food to eat Laboratory plagues, designer famine! We design the archetypes You'll live the role that we've created We can profit off that chip on your shoulder! Intellectually isolated. (Buy! Buy! Buy more shit! YEARRGGGGHHHH.... BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY) (unintelligable gurgling about manic depression...) We got a ministry of cliches You will die when we tell you to die. Clearing way for the master race, We distract we can keep you occupied. Got a ministry of cliches A pestilence to sweep the underlings. Do you fear the man behind the curtain? Tell me who do you think is pulling your strings?

I've a reflexive desire To light you on fire Beat you half to death And pull your teeth out with pliers. My sole motivation is I can't feel a thing And I know I'm alive when I can watch you suffering. I'm sociopathic and I don't have a soul I'm successful and happy and I'm maintaining control Society rewards me for the things that I do Just look in the mirror I'm a lot like you. Your TV tells you what you ought to be And shows you everything you ought to see Reflect it back to you because you're me Murder is sexy, wouldn't you agree? I am who I am because our culture is death Can you feel yourself decay with every passing breath? The apple is rotten, we're choking on maggots We're addicted to tragedy and we can't kick the habit And what's another dead, if it keeps me amused? You're nothing but meat, just an object to use As long as it flashes and bleeps, as long as it's new Take a look in the mirror, I'm a lot like you. Your TV tells you what you ought to be And shows you everything you ought to see Reflect it back to you because you're me Murder is sexy, wouldn't you agree?

about

This work is dedicated to Agent 156, who spent his hours handing out razor blades at goth and industrial night clubs.

"Figurative and Literal Opiates" is a record about the ways in which we deceive ourselves and others. It is a record about the ways in which we allow our identities to be generated by others, hero worship, and consumer culture. You will probably never hear it.
