Matt wanted to make louder and angrier music than he was making in The Spinning Game and Tyler was willing to lend his drumming abilities and time away from The Mayors Wife

Track Name: Greed
It's a Peacock mentality, who's got the brightest feathers who's got the sharpest beak, I don't want it at all. In your bible of a magazine, who's got the best diet who's clothes define me I don't want it at all.

CHORUS: The root of all evil needs to be plucked from the ground. They can see your breath in the air so please, don't make a sound.

Consume, consume until your stitches bust survival of the fittest saves the upper crust well I don't want it at all. While theres starving kids facing machine guns another casualty for your war on love, I don't want it at all.

CHORUS: The root of all evil needs to be plucked from the ground. They can see your breath in the air so please, don't make a sound.

They've got a camera on the corner they're gonna keep you safe. But it's Atlantis in america and black gold in the sea. You can open that treasure chest, turn the key but all you'll find is greed.


CHORUS: The root of all evil needs to be plucked from the ground. They can see your breath in the air so please, don't make a sound.
Track Name: Lust
I’ve been waiting for anything but my hope it died with your chivalry, and honesty. While you sell the kids to trafficking, with bruised knees kneeling for marketing.
CHORUS: Selling sex with reverse psychology. You’re covered in sweat now here’s your purity ring. Selling sex with reverse psychology. You’re covered in sweat oh it’s pure only in your wet dreams.
And I’ve been watching you window shop through your malls, the temple to the consumer gods. While you, you march and you drone along, you follow like sheep off the cliff where the fishes sleep.
CHORUS: Selling sex with reverse psychology. You’re covered in sweat now here’s your purity ring. Selling sex with reverse psychology. You’re covered in sweat oh it’s pure only in your wet dreams.
Are your pants so tight that you’re losing blood to your brain? I’ve tried to inject truth serum but the needle broke in your vein. Oh, you’re vain.
Track Name: Goliath
The dotted line we used our blood to sign, I heard it was ripe through the grape vine, but it was wine and now our heads are light. we're drunk on power and we've lost our drive.

CHORUS: Goliath falls down with one stone

The bottle cap seals what's on my tape, you pollute our water and then you sell it back. You sugar coat and you mask our croaks, while pouring poison down our dry throats.
Track Name: Devolve
I know your kind you pick your fights while cowering behind your computer screen, you’re up all night with your eyes so wide looking for clever phrases to counter act your self esteem.
CHORUS: what if we never grow up? Will we devolve ourselves into dust? What if we never wake up to see the tragedy?
I know your breed you live and breathe to remind all of the world you’re better than me. Safe in your pew, you paid your dues and now I’m not worthy to sit next to you.
CHORUS: what if we never grow up? Will we devolve ourselves into dust? What if we never wake up to see the tragedy?
But I’ll try to compensate for your lack of roses on thorns.
