Broken Household Appliance National Forest Lyrics
Sit on the toaster like a rock
No need to worry about a shock
All of the microwaves are dead
Just like the salamander said
The refrigerators house the frogs
The conduit is the hollow log
Broken household appliance
National forest
Air conditioners in the woods
Broken household appliance
National forest
Mud and metal mixing good
Meadows resemble showroom floors
Owls fly out of oven doors
Stream banks are lined with vacuum bags
Flowers reside with filthy rags
A family of deer were happy that
The clearing looked like a laundry mat
Broken household appliance
National forest
Air conditioners in the woods
Broken household appliance
National forest
Mud and metal mixing good
No need to worry about a shock
All of the microwaves are dead
Just like the salamander said
The refrigerators house the frogs
The conduit is the hollow log
National forest
Air conditioners in the woods
National forest
Mud and metal mixing good
Owls fly out of oven doors
Stream banks are lined with vacuum bags
Flowers reside with filthy rags
A family of deer were happy that
The clearing looked like a laundry mat
National forest
Air conditioners in the woods
National forest
Mud and metal mixing good

Like a lot of Grandaddy it makes you think post-apocalytic things straight off. but I believe its about how plastic and metal servants to humans have outlasted their masters.. Anybody?
definitely prophesizing (hyperbolically) the demise of race, leaving our devices and material wonders as the relics of our culture. awesome satire on humans' dependency on machines.
its about waste and destruction of nature. god bless nature.
Yeah, I'm not really sure if it's supposed to be post-apocalyptic or it's just about a wooded area where people tend to leave old household appliances that they can't get hauled off to a dump. Regardless, the idea of run down machinery almost becoming part of an ecoystem is a pretty interesting one.
The post-apocalyptic explanation is the one that makes most sense, particularly when considering that The Sophtware Slump is basically a concept album, with the unifying theme of a bleak vision of the future.
