They rape the Earth and fill our hearts with hate and fear. They guide our dreams and buy our trust and take us from the fucking rear. They starve and degrade us and watch our factions war. They set us at each other and syphon off more and more. Death to the demagogue! We’ll see his temples burn! We keep killing capitalists ‘cuz it’s our turn! [ We will never let them get away with selling us out. ] They keep us connected every second of our lives. Data, drugs, and deviance dull us and keep us in line. We may not have their money, power, or influence, but at least when tomorrow comes, the have-nots will still have our fucking heads. Death to the demagogue! We’ll see his temples burn! We keep killing capitalists ‘cuz it’s our turn! [ We will never let them get away with selling us out, and no amount of money in the world could save them now. ] Everything that we were sold was a lie. They line their pockets and lick their lips, and watch us die. Their number has come! Time to pay up! Everything we’ve ever done has led to this. We’ve only got a single shot, and we can’t miss. Death to the demagogue! We’ll see his temples burn! We keep killing capitalists ‘cuz it’s our turn! Death to the demagogue! We’ll see the fucker burn! We keep killing capitalists ‘cuz it’s what they deserve! They will never stop us all! We press on— standing tall! They will never stop us all! We will live to see them fall!

They got us by the balls, but they ain’t got a chance. None of them would ever think to spare us just a glance. They sit alone and count the nuyen culled from all their lies, clueless to the total shitstorm brewing right outside. They buy and sell the world and gift us with the scraps, though, they reserve the rights to those should the impulse lapse. They live in perfect bubbles built on animus and greed, but we have come to show them all that billionaires still bleed. Billionaires still bleed. It’s pandemonium in Seattle! Lock and load! Total pandemonium in Seattle! Let’s rock and roll! Ivory towers and guarded gates won’t keep those fuckers safe. They ain’t got a shot in hell at keeping us at bay. They pump us full of opiates to keep us all in line. They work hard to pull the wool over our bloodshot eyes. They built the system, rigged the game, then changed the fucking rules, and so we pound the streets just to unlearn the shit they taught in school. They own the state. They own the news. They own the fucking sky. They own goddamned everything, but they don’t own our lives. It’s pandemonium in Seattle! Lock and load! Total pandemonium in Seattle! Let’s fucking rock and roll! They topple governments and burn all that they please, but mark my words, the morning light will greet them on their knees. We’re coming back for what we’re owed, and they won’t get a pass. We will take our recompense straight from their doughy ass. It’s pandemonium in Seattle! Lock and load! Total pandemonium in Seattle! Let’s rock and roll! It’s pandemonium in Seattle! Lock and load! Total pandemonium in Seattle! Take control!

I’ve been kicked and beaten to the ground. I won’t let the fuckin’ system keep me down. I ain’t got no way out of this hole ‘cuz I got no dominion over my soul. Kill what controls you and you will be free. I’ve been hooked and hopeless to maintain. I’ve been bound by neuro-transmitted chains. Chems and sex and tech and all their other tools of oppression, all designed for you just to numb the pain of your submission. Kill what controls you and you will be free. Flatline the fuckers and rise from your knees. Here I am with all the answers! Yeah, I know how to cure the cancer! Stand up tall against the bastards! Take control and murder your masters! We’re fuckin’ cookin’ now! Up is out and in is down! Got deepweed in my brain— zen and bliss to fuzz the pain! Pupils like yawning mouths, busted apertures, colors spilling out! Trip-hammer heartbeat, and we ain’t even reached the peak! Glowing through the haze… Glowing through the haze, neon green and poison black… Smoked and set ablaze, further out and way off track… Glowing through the haze, neon green and poison black… Smoked and set ablaze, further out and way off track… Glowing through the haze, neon green and poison black… Burned and pushed away, too far gone—no coming back… We keep repeating the same old same mistakes— broken and begging for what crumbs they choose to waste. [ virus // toxin // matrix ] ( Blood pollution… ) We take our miseries slammed into our veins. Toxic wageslavery— conformity in chains. We keep repeating the same fucking mistakes. We grab our ankles and give them more to take. [ carved out // shut in // held down ] ( Blood pollution… ) [ construct // erased // ego ] ( Self dissolution… ) Here I am with all the answers! I know how to cure the cancer! Walk real tall amongst the bastards! Seize control all bloody and battered! Yeah, I got us all the answers! We’re the cure and they’re the cancer! The day is comin’ ever faster! Make your stand and murder your masters! Murder your masters! Murder ‘em! Murder your masters! WHOA! Puttin’ paid to the plans of the pawns pushin’ poison baby… Cuttin’ out like killers killin’ time goin’ fuckin’ crazy… Pullin’ paydata off of pirates punkin’ packets, baby… Runnin’ hard in the shadows takin’ flechette shots at the world that made me…

about

Killing Capitalists is a living, evolving album made up of songs that don't fit on other albums and remixes. It's not a collection of cast-offs, but more a collection of experiments and re-imaginings. Expect the order of tracks on the album to change as more are added, and be on the lookout for new tracks in the near future, the proceeds of which will go toward stopping the ethical and legal trespasses of bloated, mad demagoguery.

100% of all proceeds from the sale of Killing Capitalists will go toward the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU will serve as one of the key players in Americans' legal defenses against the myriad Constitutional violations that Donald Trump has attempted or suggested he'll undertake in order to "make America great again." The greatness of any people is measured-- among other things-- by their ability to stand up for one another in the face of oppression, and Johnny Nuclear and the Meltdowns aim to be part of the solution to injustice rather than part of the problem.

And to whatever degree one can protect themselves in Donald Trump's America with such a disclaimer, here goes: This music is a work of fanciful fiction, meant to give listeners (as it did those involved with its production) an outlet to momentarily wallow in and ultimately vent their frustrations and anger. In no way is this music meant to inspire or promote real violence against real people.

A final note: Jackboot Judgment Day once appeared here, but was removed when it ultimately found a home on Dosage May Vary.
