Motherfucker Lyrics
Force-fed more than we’d eat in the wild
Grazed on a mash that could suffocate a child
Bloated, promoted in an ode to pomp and style
Moistening the feed while we choke upon the bile
Cornering the market on the geese without their bones
Hushing out the public in a strike without a drone
The cage became collapsible, our sticks equipped with stones
Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone (repeat)
Hello motherfucker, my lover, you saw it coming.
Set aside the scruples in a stratagem of strain
A smallpox-laden blanket, invisible with stains
Inoculating bastards, bloody peck at pain
Distemper has a hold, distemper has a hold
We took the second sip from a cup we made of bones
The first it was a ruse, a trick so aptly thrown
The truth is that our youth was a carpet laid of stones
Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone
Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone (Repeat)
Hello motherfucker, my lover, you saw it coming
Goodbye motherfucker, my lover, you had it coming
Get the motherfucker on the phone (Repeat)
Grazed on a mash that could suffocate a child
Bloated, promoted in an ode to pomp and style
Moistening the feed while we choke upon the bile
Cornering the market on the geese without their bones
Hushing out the public in a strike without a drone
The cage became collapsible, our sticks equipped with stones
Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone (repeat)
A smallpox-laden blanket, invisible with stains
Inoculating bastards, bloody peck at pain
Distemper has a hold, distemper has a hold
We took the second sip from a cup we made of bones
The first it was a ruse, a trick so aptly thrown
The truth is that our youth was a carpet laid of stones
Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone
Goodbye motherfucker, my lover, you had it coming

I wanna say this is about consumerism and the cage it's created and the cattle it has turned society into. However Roddy Bottum stated the following: "It feels apt that the first track we're releasing is "Motherfucker," a song about accountability. Basically we've created, recorded and mixed a new body of work by ourselves and we're releasing it on our own label. It's a huge deal for us to only have ourselves to answer to at this point in our career and the song is about that, where the buck stops via the basic imagery of foie gras production, bondage. . .y'know, stuff like that."
So maybe my theory on the meaning could be included into that.
Best lyric ever for fnm to make a return with...massive fuck you to an industry that had a negative influence on them
The Obama imagery here is huge. People were angry that their hero ("lover") presided over years of aerial drone bombing. They wanted him to answer for it, but he barely even acknowledged it. All of the war imagery and betrayal references fit this model.
Artists at this level NEVER acknowledge this kind of political content. They prefer to tour without being shot at.
@quitarist Nothing to do with any of that. And Trump bombed people just as much if not more. He's a conman, and he conned you
