So, the Big Three from Detroit fly to Washington in private jets to explain why they need the American people to cut them a $25 Billion check to save their failing companies.  They thought nothing of the signal they would send about their inability to sacrifice their own comfort in their quest.  That I know of, none of them offered to take salary reductions or otherwise make any personal sacrifice for a near decade of blunders estimating the direction of the market.

In 1974, Tower of Power, my 2nd favorite funk band, released the song “Only So Much Oil in the Ground”.  After 34 years of time that American companies could have spent preparing for fuel shortages and other extremely predicatable market conditions, gas prices soar and Ford and GM are stuck making more Hummers and other gas-guzzling pieces of shit than ever.  Every dipshit in America is caught with their pants down driving an SUV that plummets in value and then trying to sell them at huge losses.

Meanwhile, Exxon Mobile breaks profit records quarter after quarter after quarter.

Well, I tell you what…the gas is getting low in my Nissan Hybrid and I need a fucking bailout.  Despite having paid massive taxes last year, I still owe another $5,000 and it looks like over $3,000 of that is going to pay for BIG TIME CROOKS on Wall Street and BIG TIME MORONS in Detroit, who over-extended themselves on bad fucking loans or big fucking trucks and are now claiming that we need to save ourselves from this financial crisis.  Meanwhile, our air quality has suffered at their hands, as have our foreclosed families and everyone inbetween.

Where is MY FUCKING BAILOUT?

You don’t see me asking for money stepping freshly off of a private jet.  You won’t see me getting my bailout check and running straight to my $440,000 spa retreat with my bankrupted compadres.

This is bullshit. As a result, we are pre-releasing our single, Brainwash for Profit off of our upcoming album.

>>Listen to BRAINWASH FOR PROFIT Here<<

There are still a few expected tweaks but we are sick and fucking tired of this shit and there has never been a better time to get the word out through music.

If you like this song, please let us know, comment here, and forward it to everyone you can and tell them to join our ranks.  Get the word out.  These crooks won’t stop until they have every last dollar.  And, if you hate this as much as I do, stop supporting these fucking companies whenever possible.

Peace.

I am currently watching Zeitgeist: Addendum.  For those of you who don’t know, this is the sequel to the film Zeitgeist, both of which are about the control of society by major, multinational organizations, from religious institutions to corporations - most of them American.

According to the logic outlined by this film, it matters not who you vote for in November.  The country and world are controlled by corporations and other institutions.  Clearly, McCain and the Lipstick Pig will only accellerate the downward spiral into greed-based globalization.  Obama, whether part of this tyrannical system or not, will either bend at the will of these organizations or be taken out by groups supported and cultivated by them.

Excerpt from Brainwash for Profit by The Capitalist Hippie Complex:

Corporate America, the land of corruption,
Of forest destruction, of HUMMER combustion,
All about the dollar, not the town’s you’re crushin,
Never ’bout the nuclear waste your dumpin’,
Gotta beat the Germans, the Japs and Russians,
Gotta be the best, no interruptions
We live in the land of the NOTHING IS FREE
You and me?  Controlled by fear and TV
They gotta do research and see
How to make us brainwashed by three
From products made by GE, to the propagods at Disney…
