lyrics

I’m at friends place and there isn’t an empty beer can anywhere. I woke up yesterday and I have not woken up since then. I spent last night in a dumpster saving an outta date cucumber. Their conquest for breads at work that seems insane to me. She took one look at me and she said you live in squalor I said no I am squalor I embody filth and it embodies me. As I’m getting older and some friends are getting cleaner I just tell myself being cleans for the bourgeoisie. My revolution’s covered in dust and as I look around so are all of us. All my shits free shit I got off gumtree, all my other shits free shit taken from my friends and family. Why would I buy something new when there’s plenty of shit that is old? We don’t need to fit into consumerism mold. Supporting sweat shops, cutting trees, supporting corporations greed, poisoning rivers draining streams to make more shit that we don’t need. She took one look at me and he said you live in squalor I said no I am squalor I embody filth and it embodies me. As I’m getting older and some friends are getting cleaner I just tell myself being cleans for the bourgeoisie. I’d rather live in squalor than spend my dollars funding the rich to kill our countries. My revolution’s covered in dust and as I look around so are all of us.

"God, Forgive These Bastards" Songs From The Forgotten Life Of Henry Turner (2012)
by The Taxpayers

supported by 4 fans who also own “Squalor”

The Taxpayers were able to put down a tacklist of songs that allow us to go on a journey. In this album we experience the manic highs and lows one may experience in a life long battle with deteriorating mental health. The picture at times grim and beautiful is one I continually come back to as its tragedy never fades. Ulysses Johnson
