about

Wasterman dropped the superb guitar and bass into Buds laptop, summer 2018. Meanwhile the lyrics had been swirling in Buds head for some time since he read about the parasitical fungi, Cordyceps, which affects mainly insects and other arthropods, turning the host into a zombie. The idea merged into the proletariate analogy that is Control.

lyrics

I got a fungus in me brain
U know it's calling out my name
I gotta climb the highest peak
And go a sporing
It's the cordyceps infection
It's affecting my perception
It's like I pay to go to work every morning

*They've got control control (etc)
I've lost control control (etc)

Ayup landlord I don't mean to be rude
But I've got a little problem
Yeah you could say attitude
You see you sit a little bit higher than me
So I get a little tense
I get a little angry
I know you're a decent bloke
And I ain't making sense
I know you ain't one of the 1%
Or in the 13 families
Of the new world order
But when I pay my rent
I got traumatic disorder

I’m the demon in the box
They break a little off the block
But not too much
Because they aim to keep me serving
& we're quantumly entangled
But they got me 's's strangled
mammonist's are getting more than they are deserving
with an inalienable right to assume control of our lives
Using people as commodities
They use us up they spit us out
What the hell's that all about
suicide economy
