lyrics

New low humans, represent, represent
survival of the shittest, represent, represent
too busy to change plans - we set the precedent
fucked priorities got us drowning slowly in the quicksand

well behaved consumer, seed of baby boomer
obsessed with excess and getting things much sooner
fast food, iPhones and cancerous tumours
occupied in the mind with the low brow humour

lights, camera, action roll the damn laugh track out
live on the scene, its the narcissistics, no doubt
obeying all orders while the fucking ship goes down
products of a system that's speeding down the wrong route

from an early consuming, just putting on pounds
covet all attention, we self-indulgent sad clowns
life's a competition, good looks milk sacred cows
good hair, teeth, smiling down the lens with raised brow

know enough to know we're in a hole and how to dig out
but fuck it - we just squabble throwing bombs and blame around
it ain't a just world at all - no karma, no doubt
prime concern is to earn, like fuck everybody else!

we're hitting new lows


new low humans set the new low precedent
survival of the shittest, represent, represent

new low humans set the new low precedent
survival of the shittest, represent, represent

new low humans set the new low precedent
survival of the shittest, represent, represent

new low humans set the new low precedent
survival of the shittest, represent, represent


new low humans voluntarily put on the chains
sell off the rights like its a game, no shame in the vain
gone from running free in the wild plains,
to just slaves running from freedom for material gain

so kick along and maintain - it aint a fair game anymore
we institutionalised to be ashamed of being poor
success as a measure of importance is flawed
as if existence is defined by financial reward

and all resistance is denied for the popular cause
as if its all fair, and everybody's par for the course
of course everybody alive thinks their mind is the source
of all existence and life, so they're expecting awards,

and accolades - like it's a just world, so good shit must happen
society ain't as balanced as the image that it's selling
placing high expectations on the roses we're smelling
high as shit on some culture that's morally repellent

where the fucking misanthropes at? where they dwelling?
get a fucking job is what your fellow hoi polloi be yelling
get annoyed by the ploys to keep buying the best selling
we joe public gullible fuckwits for not rebelling

we're hitting new lows


new low humans set the new low precedent
survival of the shittest, represent, represent

new low humans set the new low precedent
survival of the shittest, represent, represent

new low humans set the new low precedent
survival of the shittest, represent, represent

new low humans set the new low precedent
survival of the shittest, represent, represent


represent, represent!


try to stay on point and on the level we strive
gotta be the biggest asshole to stay alive
