to say i'm disillusioned is to say i fear confusion when in fact i'm living for it when in fact i don't give a shit there's a war somewhere over there there's a war and we don't even care i'm fine right where i'm living i eat steak every night for dinner i'm young and i'm free i enjoy middle class equality i got a new car and hot girlfriend and i don't want this life to ever end my friends are all sporting mohawks and their folks are all sporting golf clubs sometimes we tee off before noon sometimes we enjoy microbrews there's bombs strapped their chests but their brown and we could care less we've got better fears to keep us stunned like how much is left in our trust fund chorus

we took a trip to the cathedral and everybody got to meet you they said that you were very pretty and then we all got nice and shitty even the priest was kinda fucked up too many swigs from the communion cup the blood of christ really compels you his BAC they never tell you, no no and we were looking for any little nook or cranny so we could show christ our love too bad the place was swarming and the marriage boring and our lord looking down from above i swear that night / we saw god frown in our eyes we knew it wasn't right / but we were bound by desire excuse our plight / our holy compromise we really tried to fight it / and we were drowned out by the choir my daddy said, "don't be a quitter" he used to tell me that on twitter and so we kept on going after they all descended from the rafters and this was holy matrimony! not my big sister -- that one's phony she looks as terrified to be there as all the people in the plastic chairs and as they held the reception i procured contraception and brought the heavens down to earth your screams were muffled by mingling both our bodies were tingling and it was great - for what it was worth chorus

it's getting late, i gotta go i've got a pension plan to get to know seems that my ira is getting thinner i can't help it, man, i'm a beginner i may be young, but i've got smarts i stayed away from all those pussy arts you think you're cool playing with your tambourines writing songs about things you've never seen these feet weren't meant for dancing, kid they're meant for trading my fortune lies in waiting, kid i gotta get it check out my shades, they're pretty sweet i got two hundred dollar shoes upon my feet they've got a tiny fan that dries off the sweat i like to keep them in the backseat of my vette my daddy's rich, my mom's a trophy and i get by even if i'm kinda loafy i eat the best food, drink the finest wine i fuck the hottest girls, i do it all the time chorus have you looked at my sink? it's alabaster

i'm getting sentimental put the kettle on for some tea every morning when i wake up i have no idea who i'll be slather makeup, ponder botox somehow i got hbo for free watching true blood, get my rocks off when i'm done i'll have to go pee try to keep my lifestyle clean i'm only sixteen if you know what i mean do me a favor, lick the salt and savor down the shot and bite the lime for flavor kiss me once right above the belly then get off so i can watch the telly i got hours lined up on the tivo and if you don't like that you can go

about

This was originally a separate EP project but after years of not having it released, I decided to fold it into the Here Lies Laika discog. It's just guitar and drums, and I think conceptually it's an album made after the band's bass player left.
