Originally titled "Unabashed Foetus Worship." I've wanted to write something in the vein of my hero Jim Thirlwell for over 20 years, and finally did it.
lyrics
What the hell happened to sarcasm?
I'm pleading the fifth for your orgasm.
Gonna’ swallow ‘em up, open that chasm, and burn it all down
BURN IT ALL DOWN (x4)
In the 80s they told us to just say no
Just marionettes in a puppet show
As they snorted the future right up their nose, and sold us all out
SOLD US ALL OUT (x4)
Can’t wake up in the city of chrome!
The Satanic Panic is-a comin’ home!
Roasted liars turnin’ on the spit
Say it’s the pendulum when it’s the pit
Whatever they told you, this ain’t it, they sold us a lie
SOLD US A LIE (x4)
The American dream died on the vine
There ain’t nothin’ wrong with bein’ kind
But church and school would break our minds, and make us comply
MAKE US COMPLY (x4)
Can’t wake up in the city of chrome!
The Satanic Panic is-a comin’ home!
It’s capitalism’s latest stage
So instead of a home we have a cage
Depressed and in debt is all the rage, you might as well pack
MIGHT AS WELL PACK (x4)
They were mad about knives and D N D
Heavy metal, cartoons and MTV
Couldn’t let their kids escape, go free and take it all back
TAKE IT ALL BACK (x3)
TAKE THAT POWER BACK NOW NOW NOW
Can’t wake up in the city of chrome!
The Satanic Panic is-a comin’ home!
Nothing short of a brilliant rethinking of an already exceptional album. From start to finish, my first listen of the album tracks (1-26 of the total 37) had the hair standing up on my neck and my arms tingling with goose bumps. Playing this compilation was like hearing “The Wall” for the first time again with fresh ears.
Dogtablet’s version of “Mother” is absolutely bone-chilling, but every track is a gem paying proper tribute to the source while bringing it into the 21st Century. rotnoxnatl
