ZZEERRO (Dying for You to Get Rich)

about

There's a live-wire immediacy to BLXPLTN because they tend to assemble these Molotov cocktails the second they get their hands on some gasoline. One morning, TaSzlin woke up and saw something terrible on the news. What was it? Take your pick of all the horrifying things we now choke down on the regular. He went into the studio and wrote this, the PhlegmTV LP's first single. The two kick out an unforgiving feedback squall, a primal beating with megaphone vocals chanting anti-mantras, as if from a Unabomber shack behind a burned-out factory. But when the chorus hits, they manage to gouge out some serious melody amidst the chaos. When the nearly unfazeable Noisey tells you, "BLXPLTN are going to burn down the stage, the crowd, and your house," pay attention: this tune is what they're talking about. If you're not already banging your head, a track like this will gladly bang it for you.

lyrics

Bright lights shine on the nice white floors
Then it's cleanup aisle nine where the cold blood pours
(x2)
Ain't a drive-by or another gang war
This is military triggers being pulled at the store
(x2)
Hey!
Hey!
We're all dying for you to get rich
(x4)

Chorus:
You hurt us today
But we own the night
We'll take it all back
Or the lights go black
(x2)
Black!
Wait!

Pushin' every bullet like a dope man lounging
Filling up another cup from the blood in the fountain
(x3)
Yeah!

And my TV says it's fine, And my TV says it's fine
And my TV says it's cool, Yeah my TV fucking rules!

And my TV says it's fine, Have another glass of wine
Serve another piece of swine, Don't forget to clean your nine!

Yeah my TV says it's fine, Yeah my TV says it's cool
Yeah my TV fucking rules! Now tell me, who the fuck are you?!
