Some character writing that resulted in a B-side from the Scorched Earth Amusement Park sessions. Included on the Molecular Corporation compilation Millions of Dead Menposters: molecularcorporation.bandcamp.com/album/millions-of-dead-menposters

lyrics

Step off the subway at the end of a long day bound to blur into the next.
Sick of flattering made men of corporate persuasion and picking up after their mess.
Not far removed from the way that I grew up, pandering to the elite;
Stay in good graces, don’t say to their faces what terrible fates they should meet.

It’s called concave love.
Carve a little notch out, I can manage without,
always telling myself that the taking will come around eventually.
Climbing on concave love.
Though the ladder has rungs, most are brittle with rust
and will fall if I throw my weight too freely.

Work is relentless. I stay for the benefits I’ll need once I’m out of my prime.
The chitchat’s fine, but what I do with my own time is nobody’s business but mine.
And here I should mention that any resemblance to actual folks or events - while broadly malicious - is partly fictitious.
Just don’t read too close to the text preaching concave love.

Though I grin at the thought of my petulant boss
getting crushed like a bug by an onrushing unmanned brakeless semi,
it’s that concave love duly keeping me tough with the gentlest nudge:

“This is just what it sadly takes to get by.”

When leaders are stiff jerks who don’t understand teamwork and never once picked up the ball,
expecting their phoniest friends among cronies to back them at each beck and call
while insisting we praise their ostensible greatness in line with a chain of command
that won’t blow the whistle and fires a missile to strand us when shit hits the fan,
 fuck them!

Concave love made the ceiling seem high as the heavenly sky,
but the glare in my eye remained blind to its transparent barrier.
Scarier, concave love trickles out of my mouth so reflexively now.
Can I bear this to climb a little further?

Don’t blow it - you know you need money to live.
