[Yard Act - The Trapper's Pelts lyrics]

What a day to be alive!
The state of everything
I know you saw the sign (in the window)
The braying fist on hollow wood
Sticky fingers on sugar glass
Are you really so?
(desperate desperate desperate)
All that divides us is evil
All that unites us is evil
No, all that really divides is
The binary hive mind
And the restraint that it takes
Not to stick ourselves
Into every abstract object on
The gallery shelves

Then the trapper came around
He was trying to sell me pelts
It was midday on a Monday
So all the smart people were at work
Trap music blaring from his furry boombox
The trapper tripped, I laughed he flipped
Said
Shut your fucking trap
Or I'll eradicate nature, right now forever
Or I'll eradicate nature, right now forever
So I bought all his pelts (all his pelts!)
At a bulk buy discount

I took out a small business loan
And I bought all his pelts
I threw them in the boot of
My car and drove downtown
I pitched up a stall
Outside the office blocks
And come five o'clock, it was so cold
That everybody needed one
Everybody wanted two
So I upped the price and I bled
Them dry cause that's what you do
And come six o'clock, I'd oversold
And my smile was made of solid gold

I collapsed under the weight
Of my own success
(Yes)

And driving away with my many grapes
My many women
And my ginormous mountain of
Never ending blow
I saw the trapper disappear from
My rear view mirror
With no pelts to call his own
Shivering, naked and all alone... In the snow

The senseless charm, the gnawing guilt
(the trapper's pelts, the trapper's pelts!)
The senseless charm, the gnawing guilt
(the trapper's pelts, the trapper's pelts!)
The senseless charm, the gnawing guilt
(the trapper's pelts, the trapper's pelts!)
The senseless charm, the gnawing guilt
(the trapper's pelts, the trapper's pelts!)
