Lyrics
The BINHEAD lyrics (missing from the inlay of the 2010 LP) can be found here.
44 IS HALFWAY THERE
is about how people on the periphery of society develop dangerous strategies for survival, and that the neo-liberal idea of an all-out war of all against all reinforces this tendency.
A FOR ANIMAL
is about how human rights are nothing but animal rights, survival and reproduction. reconnection.
...AND JOBS FOR ALL
is about how we're made to believe that work is the paramount feature of human beings, and that we should do positively anything to get a job with low pay and long working hours.
ANNOTATED PSYCHOGRAPHY
is about anomie, paranoia and the inability to relate to others.
BALLS ON A STRING
is about how direct action shouldn't involve testosterone secretion, and that building senseless barricades in front of the very free spaces you are meant to defend can't compensate for the missing telomere in the y-chromosome.
BINHEAD
is about how the believers in "modern" implementations of the anointed's sect are being whipped into being profitable profiteers by their respective ecclesiastical body and their bodily representations.
BREAK THE TRUCE
is about a simple but admittedly cynical solution for disillusionment: a rearmament of the masses.
BURIAL TIME
is about bullshit postmodernism and revivals, patchworks and empty signs.
FAMILY MAN
is celebrating the unleashed power of archaic hardcore.
FEAR OF THE VOID
is about the ill-founded fear about that there is nothing where there is nothing.
HYPOCRITE HANDS
is about a diy scene gone static and reactionary.
I WANNA BE A SURFER JOCK
is about surfer jocks. and surfing.
LEAVETHECOUNTRYGOSURF
is about repaying the country and society that has "nursed" you by stabbing its back as hard as you can and then fuck off and live for the true freedom of ripping the waves on a windsurf board.
LEAVING ON AN AWKWARD NOTE
is about walking on sawed-off legs, or building with hacked-off hands, and how it can result it sheer magnificence despite the lack of helping hands.
LEFT FOR DEAD
is about how we live in a patho-ciety and that mental and physical sickness will spare no one.
MASS/MURDER
is dissecting sects left and right (literally), and linking the ones to the others and their common goal: terminating life as it is.
NOTHING
is about the feeling of overwhelming gladness that you get cos, due to the non-existence of a life after death, you'll never have to see and deal with all the bastards in the street again.
ever.
OUR JAZZ
is about how second-wave plus third-wave divided by independence equals our wave of feminism, and a deep bow to riots, grrrls, and huggy bears. And Asia.
PARA No. 1d: THINK AGAIN
is about how people with hidden agendas are always paranoid and therefore automatically think that everybody else also has a hidden agenda. all presented in true FAMILY MAN youth crew true-till-death style. of course.
PIG CHAMPION
is about the robber who shot a cop in the face 2 streets down from where henry crudos lives, and the reactions that came from the man on the street.
POSITIVE OUTLOOK FAMILY MAN STYLE
is my definition of a jolly old time, and giving a nod to Scott McCloud and the fingers to esoteric philanthropy.
PRIMER MUNDO - JA! JA! JA!
is about how lies and oppression cover up reality, and that you can't expect nothing to happen as a result.
TEMPLATEERS
is about the unmoral majority, and the exploitation of sheep by the supposed shepherds who in turn are cheap copies of the blueprint for capitalist powermongers.
THE TURNING OF THE KEY
is about the liberating power of depression, and bleak beauty.
TIR-N'AN-OG WILL BE COVERED IN ICE TONIGHT
is about the aesthetics of destruction. and that people can't get behind it.
These lyrics weren't included in the 2010 LP inlay, so they are instead re-produced here for your reference, punk.
BINHEAD
Regaining strength: The Pentecost
Whitsun cast in gold
Commercialized fucked-up morality
Two-faced and demure
Crofter morals, Bible mind
Work ethic thraldom for the poor,
Benefactions as a means to an end:
Tithe entrepreneurs
So medieval, I fail to see the joke
They've BEEN HAD, been religiously had
Been had for what they have to muster up,
The moral trap, the ascetic strap
Dog-eat-dog society
Born-again industry
Destitutionalized and competitivized
By homophobic demagogues
Living on their tithe
They've BEEN HAD, been religiously had
They've BEEN HAD, they've been utterly had
