about

"Corner / Office” is the story of two corners, the people who inhabit them, and the systems put in place to keep them there, despite the myths we perpetuate about ladders and bootstraps. We become so entrenched in believing that people are where they are in life solely because of personal responsibility or the lack thereof, and in the process we dehumanize the most vulnerable among us, sacrificing our humanity to justify avoiding any personal discomfort. We are incredibly honored to feature Efrem Schulz (of Voodoo Glow Skulls and Death By Stereo) and JP Gericke (also of Death By Stereo) on this one, on vocals and guitar respectively. This song was hugely influenced by NOFX, as well as Bigwig and Dillinger Escape Plan.

lyrics

So many people not like me
HOLD US DOWN
Everything in front of me
HOLDS US DOWN
Signs of impropriety
HOLD US DOWN.
So many tired and weak to breathe
HOLD US DOWN

Invisible hand that makes a fist
Circumstance involuntary born to eat shit

Guilty of no instinct for survival
A tragedy we’ve seen too many times
Alone and trying not to freeze
10 years old in 10 degrees
Sentenced to death for her crimes

So many people not like me
TO HOLD DOWN
Our virtuous society
TO HOLD DOWN
The bell curve says to stay in line
TO HOLD DOWN
Conquering is not a crime
TO HOLD DOWN

Everything has a place and this one’s mine
Corner office vassal steadfast feudal hive mind

Privileged with means at his arrival
A strategy we’ve seen too many times
CEO at 22
“If I can do it, so can you!
It’s my turn so get in line!”
