about

FROM THE BOOKLET:


There are people out there who make more money in an hour, than you ever will in your life. If you lived your life ten times in a row, you will still never come close to what these people make in a day. To these people, we are scum. We are vermin. We are filth. The divide between the upper and the lower class is disgusting. They control everything we do and consume. Whether they are products of trust-fund inheritance, if they just got lucky, or if they're really good at taking advantage of other people - it doesn't fucking matter. The whole economy is a failed structure, and the monetary system is in its death throws. With issues like crime, for example, they'd rather just punish the symptom than find a cure. If they throw a fine on top of that system, they generate income, and that system is something that they need to protect. With all the money being spent on harboring criminals, locking them up and supporting them, we see very little resources turned to crime prevention. But we digress... This is a song about us, Three Rats. Damned to forever live in poverty, frowned upon by the upper class. We're treated as caged animals as they and their business acumen control and manipulate every facet of our lives. One day, the divide that seperates us will fall on the upper class - crushing them all. Nature will take its course and the bad will effortlessly be eradicated by the good (hence the metaphor of spreading disease). All we have to do is ride this shitty system as it plumets down into the ground, brace for impact and celebrate as we watch the pilots of it all burst into some kind of fucked up, wet, red confetti... Just remember that the only reason you're poor is because someone else out there got rich... Violin on this track provided by our good friend Josephene.

(Stay tuned for an alternate version of this song.)
