(LYRICS) Seven seconds old & richer than most, ears haunted by the voice of Steven Hawkins' ghost "we're doomed, the end is upon us". Green clouds red skies ominous, we're all foreigners captive with no warrants, fat cops, beef stroganoff, chloroform cloth, chicken hawk, sadist boss. Asbestos moss, Ebola travels across oceans carried by moths, I give NO acknowledgement to your hollow accomplishment, look around you & you might forfeit, anthropomorphic, fake human rights freedom fighter, congratulations fuck-head, the future's looking brighter, holding hands under a rainbow/under a rock, child soldiers grow, killing ladies, hell hounds roam with rabies, rape accepted, you're decepted, AIDS in babies, thick rivers of pink liquid scabies. Fair trade, the guilt lifted, white slavery in 1990 when the World shifted, concubine passed around the wealthy grapevine, it's corporate party time, while you celebrate equal rights with smiles & wine, self gratification, celebrity style celebration, freedom to choose genital mutilation, fund raiser for your own willing surgical castration. Hearing non-PC makes you flinch, leave you in Port-au-Prince & watch you sink, hetero-exoskeletal, the return to the Stone Age! Pat yourself on the back, you've now stood up for crap, & poverty is still addicted to crack, straight fags, rally 'round the "freak flag", child slaves made your paraphernalia, nerve endings dead in your genitalia, reclaim a failure, ride the elevator, penthouse, Red Crescent impale you. Watch the World burn,corporate box tickets, rehearse/reverse, come the new age thinkers, obey your church, witness, bonfire of books, the curse, memory sickness. You owe, time's up & I'm the bookie! There's maggots in your fortune cookie! Master race, grafted fate, grizzly misery figure, the image makes me shiver, like the melting face of Joan Rivers. The core quivers from the weight of death defying billionaire, Babylonian slither sliver, deliver potions to your liver life preserver life giver. Field of bad dreams, to the swirling slums come hither, the house is spacious, dissolving glaciers, currency converter written in your ear like the Hi-Fi Murders, invade the east, kill the least then feast on burgers. You can't stop a war by eating guilt-free broccoli & playing bongos, the return of King Leopold to the new Belgian Congo, drain the monarchs wealth like Mobutu, surround them like Lesotho, thank the Third World for the new shoes. Drive a Hybrid hearse, the coffins in the dirt are the blackheads on Planet Earth, remove the tombstones & cover it with AstroTurf, corn syrup afterbirth, giant pigeons swarm upon suburban lawns, it's to mourn like a funeral for a stillborn. Watch the World burn,corporate box tickets, rehearse/reverse, come the new age thinkers, obey your church, witness, bonfire of books, the curse, memory sickness. Watch the World burn,corporate box tickets, rehearse/reverse, come the new age thinkers, obey your church, witness, bonfire of books, the curse, memory sickness.

(LYRICS) Enter the realm of swarming powdered glass, dissolve in an acid bath, let out a placid laugh, land mines line the path, a limousine a hearse, burst and spread like Paterson's Curse. Burnt vineyard, smile, grins charged, rainbow pattern oil spill, couch cushion coma. Advert, introvert, outcome, loner. Lost body, nobody's trying to find, army of bedbugs climb through marrow of a hollow spine, prepare for the violent crime. Flaming parasol, giant breakfast bowl of yellow Mersyndol, wandering ventriloquist doll staring at you from across the street, he'll cut off your feet, dragging bruised human meat, future flagging doom and heat. Like looking through recycling, in your skull frightening, night terror fighting like daily Doxycycline. Got out before I was caught with a bomb at the airport, actual size Battle Ships, big business for synthetic limbs and replacement hips, blow below the USO show, explode Halliburton steamroller surgeon, broom sweep under trash heap. Back then and now the resemblance uncanny, pushed off the penthouse balcony. Gone, the last library, climbing ladders with bribery, closed eyes can cleanse that, lubricated with Benzac, the spastic culture, written by suit clad vultures and the motherfucking MK Ultra. The present prominent, full spectrum dominance. Experiments, everything is to the empty suits. The present prominent, full spectrum dominance. You're out of your fucking mind! Beat to a pulp and time's punched blind, legal crime and us common kind. Grate off my finger prints, cop an alias, grab the money and sprint. Squeeze between the closing iron gates, timid body thin, too smart to think, blow up paths to build bigger cars, drain Planet Earth then retreat to Mars. Disappearing layer ceilings, abandoned masses like Elysium, nothing but a violent game built on shame like the Colosseum. The present prominent, full spectrum dominance. Experiments, everything is to the empty suits. The present prominent, full spectrum dominance.

about

Second single from Hardcore, Unconscious Hip-Hop duo BOTFLY. Taken from their upcoming full length LP SUFFERING CONTEST.
(Digital single also includes non-album demo titled FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE & a remix by producer Ømegaman).

BOTFLY are a self proclaimed 'Unconscious Hip-Hop' duo from Rural Victoria, Australia. With their own take on Hardcore/Boom-Bap Rap, they bring in a doom style vibe, mixing obscure loops & samples into a modern sludge, meanwhile keeping all that is rugged and true about Golden Age Hip-Hop. Lyrically, they take an over the top politically incorrect poetic approach, with layered meanings & strangeness that at times can be quite comical & clever but then equally as frightening when you realise that the subject matter isn't actually that far fetched or exaggerated. To sum up their sound, it's aggressive, hateful, negative Rap noise for those who are sick of the happy-go-lucky festival craft beer barcode tattoo dancing morons of today's Hip-Hop gestation stall. BOTFLY in no way represent Australian Hip-Hop in any way, shape or form. They are about as far from the Australian Rap style/scene as totally possible for two people from Australia that make rap music. This is UNCONSCIOUS HIP-HOP, BOTFLY will ruin your day.
