I like this song, but I don't like the title....the title is weak......
lyrics
I can’t recognize respectfully the function of the ivory, decoratively displayed next to a rain forest wood frame surrounding khaki shorts, and an elephant corpse, and the smirk of one who clearly supports this ego injection delivery, proof of what? Perceived superiority? Wealth? Ability? Or just unnecessary animal cruelty...Now I’m stuck thinking, “why bother?”, asking a species with no compassion to offer to re-evaluate their priorities while viewing animals as trophies and assuming their entitlement to degrading forms of entertainment. The decapitated head of another primate is stuffed and mounted on display while his hand holds an ashtray. His body lies in the jungle still, while his captured child is falling fatally ill in a zoo, held captive to be viewed by someone who each time he gazes into her eyes, falls strategically blind to the events chronologically behind the opportunity to find her here. Now I’m stuck thinking, “why bother?”, asking a species with no compassion to offer to re-evaluate their priorities, who the fuck said animals were are commodities? Just blank disposable unfeeling bodies? Well it wasn’t me and I wholeheartedly must disagree.From what I see, the way one treats another being reflects their true personality. So what the fuck does organized cruelty suggest about humans collectively? I think it means that the system we depend upon is fucking wrong.
The lead singer of punk band Camp Cope ventures into romantic synth-pop territory, tempering slick arrangements with bare sentiment.
