Jordan, Minnesota Lyrics

This is Jordan, we do what we like
This is Jordan, we do what we like
Stay with me, my five year old
Stay with me, play hide and seek
Stay with me, my five year old
This is Jordan, we do what we like
And this will stay with you until you die
And this will stay with you until you die
And I will stay with you until you die
And this is Jordan, we do what we like
And this will stay with you until you die
And this will stay with you until you die
This will stay with you until you die
And I will stay with you until you die
Suck daddy, suck daddy, suck daddy

The 'Suck Daddy' part of this song is one of the most frightening and harrowing pieces of music I've ever heard.

Frightening, indeed. I couldn't understand what Albini is screaming, though, until i read lyrics here. Good stuff - one of their best songs.

this song is doubly frightening: for one thing that it delves so closely into such an evil act, and then that it was written before anyone realized that a lot of the mass child abuse cases in the early 80s were only hysterias. people's lives were ruined by this blind zeal to punish.

Scariest part is that only one individual was ever convicted.

It's based on a case in the 80s where a huge child-prostitution was busted, and a big portion of the town's adult population was indicted (charges were dismissed a few years later becasue the kids' confessions were coerced or something.) The basic idea of the song was that Albini was trying to show thaty everyone has a perverted streak, everyone has roots of evil in them. He used to act the part of one of the molested children when they performed this live.

no, son- at the time there was a 'zine interview where albini said, and i quote: "we're basically just saying that people should not be fucking children."

i don't see where you get some point about the supposed banality of evil or anything like that.
