Reject the order of creation Revel in the annihilation of man as the image of god Destroy patriarchy, Plot designs of death Welcome to the Age of Sin! Disfigure the face of Man and woman Your body is your temple decorate it how you like don't let others' discomfort box you in Welcome to the Age of Sin! (Instrumental) Be the gender you've wanted to be protect those who cannot yet be themselves Reject the order of creation Welcome to the Age of Sin! Welcome to the Age of Sin!

D&D Identity 01:34
lyrics

This elf is agender and doesn't like boxes this paladin, she likes to flirt with the lasses This bard is non-binary, use em and ey My druid likes dogs, not people, ok? Who do I want to be? So many possibilities I can't quite decide let me put on a role for awhile My atheist cleric, thrown out on their own a halfling who was feeling stifled at home this wizard's a tinker, and collects bits of writing a dragon born who throws lots of lightning! Should I live in the woods or do research or art? so many roles to try tank, healer, bard, to flirt or be shy? Who do I want to be? So many possibilities I can't quite decide let me put on a role for awhile

Non Toxic Masculinity (Explicit) 04:13
lyrics
buy track
Strong and soft, protect and care, uplift and support control your aggression, and feel a larger range of emotions be traitors to the system alpha male is the early version before testing and bug fixes. Not suitable for public. Unstable. MRAs still use gaslighting and blame feminism for the things that toxic masculinity causes the devil needs no advocate, we need no brutal honesty, what about compassionate, poetic, empowering, insightful honesty no such thing as friendzone, imagine being fuckzoned instead take example from Mr. Rogers, Uncle Iroh, Reading Rainbow, or Bob Ross Strong and soft, protect and care, uplift and support control your aggression, and feel a larger range of emotions be traitors to the system

Cancel Culture 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Spoken: People like to complain that Millennials “Cancel” everything from driving cars, getting married, diamonds, landlines, buying houses, cable, banks, golf, beer, and that's just things from the first page of a google search. Many of those are patently not true. (beer, really?) Now many of the things on that list are because we just don't have money, but that's a different song. it's true, we do absolutely cancel nazis, toxic people, and brands that don't have ethics. People are right to have boundaries around who they will and won't support, and they don't have to explain their decisions to you. However this song is about the real cancel culture, and all the things the hypocrites decrying cancel culture have themselves tried to cancel. Sung: they cancel basic community needs, like voting, and health care, or say, queer rights they even cancel entire indigenous cultures ain't no cancel culture like colonialism ain't no cancel culture like colonialism ain't no cancel culture like colonialism ain't no cancel culture like colonialism they cancel fun things that make people happy, D&D, rock music, comics, even starbucks hey the puritans are the ones who canceled christmas ain't no cancel culture like colonialism ain't no cancel culture like colonialism ain't no cancel culture like colonialism ain't no cancel culture like colonialism Cancel culture is made up so conservatives can pretend they're speaking truth to power when actually they're just awful ain't no cancel culture like colonialism ain't no cancel culture like colonialism ain't no cancel culture like colonialism ain't no cancel culture like colonialism ain't no cancel culture like colonialism

(They Say) Money Doesn't Buy Happiness 01:59
lyrics
buy track
They say that money doesn't buy happiness but all the things I need cost money I've got 99 problems, and money would solve at least 73 of them up to 70 thousand per year relieves stress and worry, increasing happiness They say that money doesn't buy happiness but all the things I need cost money things that people call courageous just take money quit a job? Call off a wedding or leave a marriage? Money helps They say that money doesn't buy happiness but all the things I need cost money that money can't buy happiness is a rebuke to the rich: use your excess to help others; not that poor people can't complain They say that money doesn't buy happiness but all the things I need cost money

I've got the blues, the working during an extinction event late stage capitalism blues remember unions are the compromise Don't fall in love with a system that oppresses you We need ten years experience for an entry level job unemployment is more than a starting wage we feel like failures because we can't keep our homes clean while working what about a general strike? minimum wage would be fourty four dollars if it grew at the rate of wall-street bonuses not paying a living wage is asking us to subsidize your desire to have a business what about a general strike? I've got the blues, the working during an extinction event late stage capitalism blues remember unions are the compromise Don't fall in love with a system that oppresses you (Instrumental) Boss makes a dollar and I make a dime that was a poem from a simpler time now Boss makes a thousand and gives us a cent while he's got employees who can't pay the rent so when boss makes a million and workers make jack that's when we riot and take our lives back I've got the blues, the working during an extinction event late stage capitalism blues remember unions are the compromise Don't fall in love with a system that oppresses you

Make It Fair 03:06
lyrics
buy track
Spoken: Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly now, love mercy now, walk humbly now You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it. life isn't fair, don't get used to it, do your part to make it fair cut me some slack I believe in a future without white supremacy and the gender binary life isn't fair, don't get used to it, do your part to make it fair we can make it to star trek post scarcity (make it so!) If we remove the artificial barriers of capitalism, we have enough life isn't fair, don't get used to it, do your part to make it fair being a leftist is being constantly gaslit as you point out problems but the solutions you offer are always “too good to be true” If you've come to help me you're wasting your time. But if you've come because your liberation is bound up with mine, let us work together. life isn't fair, don't get used to it, do your part to make it fair
