lyrics

Trash is King

The people come
They will always come
The greater the dread
There’s more by the hour

They quiver forward
Or rise like the tide
They jockey each other
For the power

The lines of engagement
Are swingin’ in phone trees
Disconnected at this time

I’m the brother you love
In the color you hate
How long do you expect
Me to wait
I’m the brother you love
In the color you hate
How long do you expect
Me to wait

My father was the Archduke
My father was a druid
My father was a merchant or a workingman
A residue, a fluid
A fluid, a residue

Martha told David
Your mind’s not just narrow
It’s closed
So David told Martha
Woman
You better zip it
Or ya get the hose
Ya get the hose

The people come
They will always come
The greater the dread
There’s more by the hour

They quiver forward
Or rise like the tide
They jockey each other
For the power

Is it a curious affair
Or a fucked up thing
The sergeant-at-arms declares
Trash is king
