Kill the body, tear it apart.
Build it back up with animal parts.
Walking, talking chimpanzees
dressed in suits and trained to speak.
Gorillas attack a weaker creature.
Human being? I don't think so.
We're the same in relative ways,
Primate psychology's here to stay.
-Chorus-
Evolution comes up short.
A failure of adaptation.
Slaves to a broken chromosome.
Abandon the ape.
Destroy me now, rip me apart.
Build me back with animal parts.
Perfect eyes see through the trees.
Walk upright or drag your knees.
Crawled from the sea, that was the start.
All that's human, comes from the heart.
Swing the stone, wrong is right.
Twist the bone, life feeds on life.
-Chorus-
("I will not tolerate a challenge to power, disrespect is a sin and I'm your god." The ape is me, the ape is us, abandon it, or destroy what you love.)
Take your body, cut you apart.
Build you back with animal parts.
Abandon the law, kill to survive.
Remnant of the primate inside.
Take from me, it's eye for an eye.
But when I'm hungry rules don't apply.
Violence: The deadly genetic disease.
You're just another human beast.

The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
A necessary reissue of everything venerated hardcore band Angel Hair ever released, with breakneck time signatures that turn on a dime. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 10, 2024
