Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

We both know
The history of violence that surrounds you…
1.
What is money good for?
It’s really good for convincing you to do what I want you to do. Name your price. Let’s bargain.
Is that really it though? It’s just what I can use to control you? I’ll pay you billions to believe it.
2.
I want this lake house.
Here, let me just throw money at you. I just want it for the weekend anyway. What, I have to go through this website first? What about your shoes; did you make those? No? Who did? You’re just going to give me another website?
Cook for me, I’m hungry now.
3.
Elon Musk wants $30 from me every month so I can publish my little X Articles. My choice to usе two accounts, so $60.
It makes sense though, sincе he’s the government.
4.
Honestly, he’d probably give me a discount if I just made him happier in some deep way.
Let’s talk about sex, baby.
5.
Money isn’t used, traditionally, to buy sexual labor.
When you buy my labor, you’re buying something I’d rather do with my body than have sex with you.
I’d much rather absorb your emotional baggage pinpointed into the tasks you assign me as my boss. Much nicer than fucking you.
6.
Honestly, so much of my life seems to revolve around me making higher-status people agree that they’re actually higher-status than me.
That’s a lot of emotional labor I do for you:
1. free, this was never part of the contract you and I signed at birth socially;
2. pointlessly.
3. with no recognition.
7.
Your suckage magnifies the more you make me believe otherwise.
I love how you think you could trick other members of the masses more easily.
Not after I get through with them, human fungus-like nervous system surrounded by a petty flesh bag. You don’t even have a fucking heart.
8.
What if you got dick-slapped by fate?
Billions did.
Why would I ever cry for you. I’d rather cry for this anthill.
9.
Gee.
Does money, sex, and status always alienate humans this much?
Maybe it didn’t have to. It doesn’t matter.
The Second Coming of Jesus Christ is using scissors to cut the psychoemotional bondage.
10.
You want your balls licked by God emotionally.
I’m a wolf, baby.
You’re used to lambs. I’m the greatest of all time.
11.
I see you for who you really are.
Your money’s your poverty.
Your status is the luxury meant for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
And you’re not even one bit hot.
From one ape to another, you’re fuckable fuckage.
12.
It’s beyond impersonal.
I see your money, status, and cultlike sex appeal as infernal false gravities.
“Death to depth” is your only hope of overcoming me.
13.
In a culture that functionally worships money?
Comparative wealth lets you control the movies, the books, the culture, the values, the churches, the schools, the government, the banks, the land, the climate, and all of the Universe.
Come on baby—let’s 🧨.
14.
We both know…
…that it’s still fashionable to ignore the consequences of elite spiritual poverty.
“You envision a future where people read music videos, where wars are now video games and money is taught in school as ‘recognizable instruments of power, control, and authority’ alongside critical thinking?!”
