about

Recorded and mixed by Dan Jensen at The Hideaway in Minneapolis, MN in September, 2012.

Note: Dan alsoplayed the little lick at the end, because Alex had to go home sick and Seth is fucking lousy at guitar.

lyrics

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!
