In praise of ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

[Fenris]

This is the title track from their latest record, Worlds Apart.

Note to the PC Police: I have posted the unedited lyrics to this song because it is art and language is being used here as a weapon. I don't fuck with someone else's art, even to clean it up for those who are easily offended by words.

WORLDS APART by ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

Random lost souls have asked me
"What's the future of rock'n'roll?"
I say "I don't know does it matter?"
This and that scene,
They sound all the same to me
Neither much worse nor much better

We're so fucked these days
We don't know who to hate or who to praise
Yet we consider this our suffering and pain
When we're so privileged, a fact
We all forget about as
We go whinging all over the place.

How we've laughed as they shoveled the ashes
Wrath hath soured
Blood and death, we will pay back the debt
For this candy store of ours.

Look at those cunts on MTV
With their cars, and cribs, and rings and shit
Is that what being a celebrity means?
Look, boys and girls, here's BBC
See corpses, rapes, and amputees
What do you think now of the American dream?

And our soccer moms and dads
Who raised us brats on these TV ads
I know that they sleep at night
Their conscience is intact
They've convinced themselves of that
Giving money to Jesus Fucking H Christ

How they laughed as we shoveled the ashes
Of the twin towers
Blood and death, we will pay back the debt
For this candy store of ours.

8. Trail of Dead is teh awesome.

I second your praise. (I just wish they'd lose the obligatory emo trucker hats.)

[Fenris]

9. Conrad is unfortunately quite fond of them.

A shame, really. At least they destroy their equipment and eachother. It made me laugh when they thanked the Austin Guitar Center in the liner notes. I bet they love them there.

12. They've calmed down a lot.

I saw them at Coachella in California, and I'm seeing them again in May, and they've stopped putting each other in the hospital during shows. Good or bad, you decide.

13. Let me see you touch the ground

I don't know her reputation
But all the niggas in the hood say it's all good
But the bitch ain't shit, so you need to make a switch
Smackin' on ya lips with your hands on your hips
Triflin' slimy, don't try me
Playin' on the phone? You supposed to be grown
Bitch, stop lyin', I ain't with it
Keep runnin' ya mouth and I'ma stick my dick in it
Hoochie hoodrat needs home training
Ghetto-ass always complaining
Tryin to clown in front of my friends
By the way, bitch, can I get those ends?
Fuck theatrics, you ain't no actress
Lay on the mattress and let a nigga splak it
The bitch is full of DRAMA!!
Hoochie hoodrat is a hoe like her momma!

She ain't nothin' but a hoochie mama!

Yeah, she ain't nothin' but a hoochie mama!


Hoe I love your big brown eyes
And the way you shake your thighs
Actin' like you're so damn cute
Let a real nigga just knock them boots
I don't need no confrontation
All I want is an ejaculation
'Cause I like them ghetto hoochies
Ones who like to pop that coochie
Miami style!
Makin niggas smile, bitch get wild
'Cause freaky shit is what I like
and I love to see two bitches dyke
My favorite time is 69
Bitch you know it's hoochie time
Fuck what you heard and save the drama
All I want is my hoochie mama!

You ain't nothin' but a hoochie ma-ma!


Mama just don't understand
Why I love your hoochie ass
Sex is what I need you for
I got a good girl, but I need a whore
I like my bitch promiscous
Hot in the ass and ready to fuck
Foreplay your way, our way, my way
Trick or freak, and I hit it on Friday

Girl, you know you look so cute
Ridin' 'round town in ya Dazzey Dukes
Come on over for a visit
Let a nigga ride in ya Civic
Cos I like them ghetto hoochies
One who got them big ol' booties
Save the drama for your mama
All I want is my hoochie mama

You ain't nothin' but a hoochie ma-ma!

15. Have they shortened their name to just "...Trail of Dead" now?

I have to be in the right (or wrong!) mood to listen to them.
