Joe’s appointees have cut their teeth teaching other thieves the propers ways and means to come and eat your lunch

How to circumvent the law and reach right through your window to the dinner table, pilfering your Easter Brunch

A little east of eden, south of heaven now for each of us.

Where the 99% of us are made to be the least of us.

And it’s only normal cause that’s what our system teaches us



Ugly fucking Christmas
dismal Christmas Eve
Some hideous statistics if you’re brave enough to read
How many million families are without a thing to eat
And they’ll only be a blurb on the tv,
Right before the NYSE record profit Wall Street circle jerk
Right into our stockings as a Christmas treat
Just before you overdraft so you can get a Christmas tree
You missed two weeks on the job cause you don’t get the same quick testing that the rich receive
Your livelihood, and that of all your families isn’t worth half as much as a birthday jamboree for all of these fucking dogshit A-list celebrities

And, you know what? I hope they live it up, cause in the next couple months, we won’t see them for their wealth, we’ll just see a source of calories

Talk about your raw, unscripted, unsalted reality

Talk about a household name up on your table like a centerpiece

Talk about you reckoning your overwhelming hunger with your beckoning morality

Then Let’s have a talk about duality

How to keep your sanity and forage for your neighbors and the remnants of your family

And why you shouldn’t grieve when you feast on your leaders, cause all of them are felons who will never see a sentence for a felony

THATS reserved for you and me and the extended peasantry

Cause for every felon sentenced there’s a senator with all the same offenses who will never see a cell, yet they can sell you on the speech about how they are not your enemy.

And if they go to trial they might have to spend a while in the kind of place that puts all your vacation spots to shame with their amenities

Somewhere in the twisted human structure of the capitalist centipede, we’re the segment living on the excrement of those who eat the excrement of those who dine on Perignon and caviar.

But couldn’t guess the retail price of a candy bar
And Who play with the lives of the poor like an endless sea of avatars
Pulling all the filthiest of strings in the purest garb
Some of whom, I’m sure, are being vetted by the Biden Team for title of Insurance Czar

When I say “All of Biden’s cabinet are fascists”
You say “Yeah, Jesse, sure they are.”
Then go and roll your eyes like you heard it all
Tell me how it means that I’m a trump supporter, honey, I done heard it all.
It don’t hurt at all
I’m unnerved, but I’m vertical,
answered the call cause I heard the call,
And all it was was ‘burn it all’
Simple enough that I only heard it once,
But I learned it all,
Learned to sew,
Made a Biden voodoo doll,
Burned the doll.
Brought the doll to life just to watch it crawl
Swept up the ash, made a batch of cookies,
Fell asleep
Burned em all.


Take me to your fash, honey,
I can try to turn em all,
Or turn em into Sterno if they were to shut the furnace off


Winter heard us cough and urges us beyond the permafrost
Twitter purges us, and CNN will have us on so they can turn us off.

They don’t try to hide it, they just turn us off.
They don’t even hide it, they just turn us off.
They won’t even hide it, they just turn us off.
They don’t have to hide it, they just —
