Robert Inhuman, about "Not Everybody Is Rich"

Ok this song is a really pissed off note about my reaction to life in Los Angeles, and for the sake of limiting animosity and resentful tones I'm glad it is a short track. There are some things I really love about living in LA, mainly that there are so many people, you are bound to meet many that are interesting and fun to be around. But some of the trends there, like the idea that it's cool to pretend you're "rich" even if you're "not", simply make me sick. The total waste of privilege in the face of a world limping in constant agony. The scene in which any element of urgency or desperation is nothing but a sarcasm, a satire, a pose. The "ultimate bastard" is a phrase I began to think of in reference to humanity, basically now saying I find it in all corners of the United States, from the desolate remote small midwest towns, to the places on the west coast that are supposed to be American paradises...

lyrics

(privilege... that abundant overflowing privilege... what you gonna do with it?)
have you ever been hungry and ain't shit you can do about it?
what if that was every day - not everybody is fucking rich
(your privilege and your attitude makes me sick)
fuck your world addicted to jokes and numbing games
like this world is so safe that we can indulge like it is
that insistence on luxury and that vicious BLIND EYE
makes me sick and I'm fucking up against it!
(same ultimate bastard in the city of angels)
