I think I jumped the gun a little too early on saying that last song was the best example of the human condtion. Here Bazan shows us more of this sad dysfunctional family. This family has all of the great inventions of modern technology from “dust-free dining sets” to “self-making” beds. You know what the great thing about modern technology is? It gives us more time to have our kids follow in our molding.
The picture of this family is not the molding that we are Christians want to live, but sadly it is closer to how we act as well are the rest of society. The sins of the grandfather have carried down to the father (who is “on liver number two”) and God knows it will be passed on to the kids. Depravity should only make us get on our knees and turn to God.
It is obvious in this song that the kids have followed in their parents ways. The parents fear punishing them because they are only going to be ignored. Which is exactly what they are doing to each other. The husband is cheating, the kids bragging, and the wife is nagging, and it is all thanks to the progress of “convient new inventions”. Writing that line reminds me of Fight Club and their struggle to fight against so-called progress. If only our fight was for morality, it seems like people would turn to God and not “liver number two”.
