lyrics

Karellen has been here for fifty years already
He’s the one behind it
This steaming tide of effluent

A singularity of half-corrupted stories
Stretched beyond the wishes
Of what their long-gone tellers meant

IPs pudding is not so hard to make
But spoiling it is easy and those in charge can’t bake
Now there’s rumblings beneath conglomerate feet
A sampled pastry that tastes ten times as sweet

Mix it up
Mash it up
Toss it into the pot
I’d trust your soupstress skills much more than focus-tested snot
‘Cos this is just bogey film
Plain and simple
Bright lights and big shapes on the screen
A measly-minded capeshit dream

Mix it up
Mash it up
Keep esculence in mind
I’d trust your collage cred much more than subcontracted grind
‘Cos how will you pledge your love
When the fire comes
Shoutouts to what got you through hell
Or what the boardrooms think will sell

Mix it up
Mash it up
Concoct a tasty treat
I’d trust your fresh baked flams much more than bumbling mogul beats
‘Cos this tattoo never ends
Always marching
From script to sap and there and back
Regurgitated reference crap
‘Cos this tattoo never ends
Always marching

But every drum line dies one day
Not long now
Not long now
Not long now

But every drum line dies one day
Not long now
Not long now
Not long now
