lyrics
(Antibellum)
You are the gears,
If I turn the knob.
I built the machine,
And you make it work.
(Reconstruction)
You think you've escaped,
And you've found your voice.
But your muzzle's intact,
And I still own the mic.
(1920's)
Sing for me, my pretty savage...
You've captured my soul.
Dance for me, my pretty savage.
You hold me close.
Sing for me, my pretty savage.
You've become my soul.
Sing for me, primitive thing.
You are the root.
(1950's)
At least I am high on the status tier.
At least I own a suburban home.
At least I have investment in color.
At least I'll always be better than you.
(Civil Rights Era)
You've thrown a wrench
Into unoiled gears.
You fought the machine,
And you made it fail.
(Post-Civil Rights Era)
Somehow you've escaped,
And found your voice,
Your muzzle is loose,
But I still own the mic.
(Reagan Era)
Sometimes I think my investment's gone sour,
But then I remember, at least I'm not you.
You've come so far, but gained so little.
Welcome to the world of '81.
At least I have built my Cold War offense.
At least I know it will trickle down.
At least I have political franchise.
At least I'll always be better than you.
(And furthermore...)
At least I have my Cold War logic.
At least I know you'll stay underground.
Hail to the infrastructure! Strengthen the divide!
The hegemony is flawless. Don't even try.

Pepper is a very surprising musician. His vocal arrangements steal the show on this album, and he displays a deft lyrical prowess. All around, brilliant stuff. Husky In Denial
