Lyrics for Trash Talk Landfill

Talk comes real cheap Expend and dispose, expend and dispose These days, it's what I live to do Oh, I know this junk is tacky But it's what I've got to offer I'll just keep on spitting out more litter It'll heap up in disposable drifts Some poor fucks will sort through it in shifts Believe me, there's more where that came from Where can I buy budget words to describe The awful hole that gapes inside Me, and just keeps growing, growing, growing As I pour in more and more plastic metaphors You know you're gonna keep on reading This shit, lightweight and stripped of the meaning It once wrapped up, 'til I used it all up Now it's dross, compacted in metonym clumps And all this waste comes straight from my waist I'm shitting out tons and tons of this garbage every year Dumped logotoxins leach into the groundwater I'll make every ear my sewer It's all trash talk, trash talk, trash talk Throw me on the pile No deposit for recycle One use only And all that offal is crawling Back up through the plumbing It's clambering out Of the landfills and rivers My filth children will wander While I spawn more, and wonder Why these refuse similes All sound so incomplete
