lyrics
MONSTERS MUST BE DESTROYED
Working double-shift at the In and Out
Meatpackers in a line till the milking hour shout
Happiness undefined
In the daily grind
I came out here following the shadow of DeNiro
A year after losing my shirt my income's dropped a zero
I should've resigned
When I was behind
CHORUS:
I've cock-slapped the girls
Now I'm turning on the boys
Hollywood made us monsters
And monsters must be destroyed
Living on strawberries, amyl nitrate and 'zac
Staying hard ain't easy on a Teflon-coated rack
Scraping the rind
In 4/4 time
How can I tell my folks I'm respectable
When all they see is my shaven testicles?
Pick up the slack
Get humping, Jack
I've cock-slapped the girls
Now I'm turning on the boys
Hollywood made us monsters
And monsters must be destroyed
In with the kick
Out with the hat
Keep it well sick
Keep the bass fat
Banging, banging, banging to get white blood out my rocks
Then the continuity girl says I'm wearing different socks
We'll have to take it again
Don't shrink, my violet friend
At home in the evening with the missus, smoking kif
"Let's get it on so get 'em off," she says but I'm bored stiff
Ain't my head that aches
Too much porn flakes
Love all, new balls please
Score - bored - null and void
Hollywood made us monsters
And monsters must be destroyed

This is a low-level slow-burning marvel of almost nonchalant brilliance. Often, one finds beneath all the FX and gloss there's no song at all. Aaron Freeman has an ocean of depth beneath the surface. smokingantrecords
