O' Let the numbers We type into the ATM Become the names by which we're known O' let the measure of the width of our new TV sets display to the neighbors the depths to which we've grown And of the plugged-ins and records Our rosewood and our strings Of our brand loyalties, in your name, we sing O' let us sell them Ourselves, whole or in pieces For the price they've kindly placed upon our heads Lest we hesitate and see the day When upon re-evaluation, It's crossed out, halved and rewritten in red And of our value As an asset To the company Of our entry level positions we sing O' Let the leeches The rats and our brave captains Deliver us from persecution and from flood Grant them fortune When they convene below the deck To bet our medicines on hands of five card stud Of the birdshot The razors The downers and the bleach Of our polite if hasty exits we will sing O' God save these things!

the best ever death metal band out of denton were a couple of guys, who'd been friends since grade school. one was named cyrus, and the other was jeff. and they practiced twice a week in jeff's bedroom. the best ever death metal band out of denton never settled on a name. but the top three contenders, after weeks of debate, were satan's fingers, [The Cesspool Lifeguards], and the hospital bombers. jeff and cyrus believed in their hearts they were headed for stage lights and leer jets, and fortune and fame. so in script that made prominent use of a pentagram, they stenciled their drumheads and guitars with their names. this was how cyrus got sent to the school where they told him he'd never be famous. and this was why jeff, in the letters he'd write to his friend, helped develop a plan to get even. when you punish a person for dreaming his dream, don't expect him to thank or forgive you. the best ever death metal band out of denton will in time both outpace and outlive you. hail satan! hail satan tonight! hail satan! hail hail!
