lyrics
The collective stumps can’t bleed enough for this lust, of instruments provoking mass murder; with their cold dead hands they choke their country to liberty.
Beer haters and the beekeepers hate liberty, freedom
Hebdo and the Frenchies they had the wrong idea
Aint no problem that can’t be solved with a full-auto assault weapon
Saving dollar bills for an A-rab 47
Corporations set the scene, who can resist that new gun sheen?
To blast those who fuck and live in sand
In the market for a piece? There’s a piece of you there and there and there, strapping bombs to your chest, we haven’t finished killing our young yet.
Western culture, a gift from us, Democracy and Guantanamo, a place to rest severed heads.
Mujahedeen, then Al Qaeda, to Taliban, funded by our second-hands.
The insurrection, beyond our heads, against common sense, Charleston heads pave way for Arabic deaths, pathetic.
Endemic, in systems that fail, where lead prevails.
Western culture, a gift from us, A Frankenstein with debt to pay.
What could of possibly made you do this, to us?
What possibly could of made you follow, this path?
Just forget Iran-Contra, Reagan, Bush Number 1 and 2,
Apart from that we never did anything to you.
Six digits on your liquor, liberal counterfeiter
Just another nigger, center-mass pull the trigger
Gun-nut militia, cultural ammunition
Ignorance as a weapon, A-rab 47

Track written and performed by Cyprus.
Produced, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by David Carr at Rangemaster, Melbourne.
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
