The Trapper’s Pelts

Lyrics

What a day to be alive!
 The state of everything
 I know you saw the sign in the window
 The braying fist on hollow wood
 Sticky fingers on sugar glass
 Are you really so? (desperate desperate desperate)
 All that divides us is evil
 All that unites us is evil
 No, all that really divides is the binary hive mind
 And the restraint that it takes, not to stick ourselves
 Into every abstract object on the gallery shelves
 Then the trapper came around
 He was trying to sell me pelts
 It was midday on a Monday
 So all the smart people were at work
 Trap music blaring from his furry boombox
 The trapper tripped, I laughed he flipped, said
 Shut your fucking trap!
 Or I'll eradicate nature, right now forever
 Or I'll eradicate nature, right now forever
 So I bought all his pelts (all his pelts!)
 At a bulk buy discount
 I took out a small business loan
 And I bought all his pelts
 I threw them in the boot of my car and drove downtown
 I pitched up a stall, outside the office blocks
 And come five o'clock, it was so cold
 That everybody needed one, everybody wanted two
 So I upped the price and I bled them dry 'cause that's what you do
 And come six o'clock, I'd oversold
 And my smile was made of solid gold
 Solid gold
 Of solid gold
 Of solid gold
 I collapsed under the weight of my own success (yes)
 And driving away with my grapes, my many women
 And my ginormous mountain of never ending blow
 I saw the trapper disappear from my rear view mirror
 With no pelts to call his own
 Shivering, naked and alone
 In the snow
 The senseless charm, the gnawing guilt
 (The trapper's pelts, the trapper's pelts!)
 The senseless charm, the gnawing guilt
 (The trapper's pelts, the trapper's pelts!)
 The senseless charm, the gnawing guilt
 (The trapper's pelts, the trapper's pelts!)
 The senseless charm, the gnawing guilt
 (The trapper's pelts, the trapper's pelts!)
 H.M.R.C (pay as you feel)
