April 2011
“The American dream was not founded on working for Wal-Mart. It meant starting your own business from the ground up. Now everything has been swallowed up by watered-down, faceless corporations which add no real intrinsic value to the growth of our culture. Small businesses add a rich sentiment of friendly salesmanship: a human feel. The question is, have we lost that need, and would we trade it away for toilet paper at 2 cents a roll?”

Wolves at your door
It’s clear now that “trickle down” is actually “vacuum up” and yet working class people continue to vote against their own economic interests. Wake up! American businessmen are natural predators: they may wrestle around with you for a while but eventually they’re gonna go with their instincts and kill and eat you.
– David Bazan
Wolves wait at your door
for your permission
slyly you invite them
on one condition
that they prepare a feast
from your provisions
of root and wild beast
for you to eat
surprise
they took your money
and they ate your kids
and they had their way
with your wife a lil bit
while you wept on the porch
with your head in your hands
cursing taxes and the government
cause you’re a goddamn fool
and i love you
yeah i love you
look into your eyes
your former glory
bright and open wide
like easter morning
how the light has dimmed
and how the fear of everything
is creeping in
“Sometimes it’s only madness that makes us what we are.”
