    Sophia, Sarah, Janina, Jack, and Ethan hand made 125 CDs and CD cases right before our 2016 Summer Europe tour, we have about 50 left! Each CD case has its own aesthetic and its own design. The cases themselves are cardboard, but the art on top of them is mixed media: acrylic paint, collage, flower pedals, and, if your lucky, real human hair. There are some examples above, but the CD you order will be a surprise!

These cars are ovens they’ve cooked our brains There’s no one to trust We’re driving and directionless It’s deceiving how little meaning there is and how we keep believing There is no ending There’s bread on the ground There’s bread everywhere We’re breeding everywhere We’re bleeding everywhere Oh how pretty, flowers blumen’ early But their dying early too And their not coming back His words are lofty Maken’ my empty feel body My empty feel body Feel body There’s bread on the ground There’s bread everywhere We’re breeding everywhere We’re bleeding everywhere

Thunderstorm 02:49
It’s Your Lie Do what you want Do what you will Do what you love What the fuck Nothing more Nothing less My lie Has no Stake in yours Except for Class war It might have come from the earth, it might have fallen from the sky Either way your struggle is tied up in mine

Yeah here we are yeah yeah here yeah we are yeah yeah We’re in a rut We’re making due with what we got Which isn’t lot But we’re not gunna' stop This is our place They don’t want us to move or complain Well guess what here we are we’re taken’ up a lot of space Yeah we’re talkin’ real loud Yeah we know Everyone is their own protagonist But this is the time to realize this is the pessimist I’ve got a pocket knife, you’ve got some pepper spray Let’s go assassinate some cops and dance in the rain Together in this whether there’s nothing that can stop us Cuz you’ve got the theory and I’ve got the practice Yeah here we are yeah yeah here yeah we are yeah yeah Where are you now now now

Isolation, a lack of permutation So many people in my face But I don’t have anything to say All I can do is blankly stare at you I don’t know how to answer your question How are you doing? Do you feel bad do you feel good? How am I supposed to distinguish that? Well, I guess I’m okay I know that your just trying to connect It’s too bad that we don’t know how to do that yet We’ll keep tryen’

Violence 03:49
Violence Everywhere all the time… Politics- it’s violence Economics- its’s violence Work- it’s violence University- it’s violence Preaching non-violence is… Violence The only thing that’s reckless is… Your pacifism- it’s masochism Contradiction- petty bourgeoisie I’m callen' you out Your complacency is… Violent The highest form of struggle is… An uprising- it’s violent

The Sun is the People and the Moon is the King While the sage burns the Yule log turns The Sun is the People and the Moon is the King While the light begins to fade the Moon begins to cave We bring in the oak and the pine Its not the time to feel fine Yeah the yule is burnin’ and the ashes are a churnin’ We let in the old and the dead And then we make room for the light to run and shout and run and... And day by day the Light comes out to play The King’s time has come to wither in the Sun
9.
Tryen’ not to fall into the trap of logic collapse, it’s just looken’ so bad Well, I guess it never hasn’t I just get this feeling that if we keep doin’ what we’re doin’ there’s not going to be much left to do The floods and the famine have come Now it’s time for fire Now it’s time for fire It’s way too late It’s way too soon Have you dosed Today, everyday Says the sidewalk The cement’s making sense Total war Third world atomic style World target Peace at last Alien atom Suburban suspension Humanitarian, humanitarian, violent, substance Yeah justice exists and this is it Level that Blow it up, carpet bomb that shit Utopian explosion freedom finally Never ending Vacation, equality once and for all
