iv. minimum wager
pay me for the hours
not for the work nor the effort
but the hours i’ve wasted here
serving the interests of the money
and the boss man
for the money i give him my life
for the payment they take back again
i’m so bored, so tired
and my body tells me it’s time to go
i’m through packing shit the billionth time over to an end nobody knows
v. disconnecting
they want perfection
and they expect it cheap
and they expect it fast
so they can go back to sleep
nothing’s ever enough
the delusions fail to placate
ownership is intangible
it's abstract, fiction
tears holes through the dream
vi capitalist dogs
were you searching for purpose,
convinced you might belong
at your bullshit job
singing a song for the bürocrats
and capitalist gods?
are you climbing that pyramid
your eyes gleaming and wide?
do you feel at ease with these delusions
and greed and pharaohs
and capitalist gods?
won’t it be so easy
once you’ve consolidated control
and use the species to serve your demands
like royalty, like capitalist gods?
like royalty and capitalist dogs
It's true I played bass on this album and some other Moledebater EPs. Many of these songs are close to my everyday life. Like when I'm cleaning up garbage and think "whose mess you gonna clean up"? Graham Janz
I'm on this album too. Why not, right? But I shouldn't take too much credit, if you read the credits. I cut my hair and Ben and Marshall stopped hanging out with me until it grew back. Graham Janz
Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 22, 2020
