The story shifts to the wife and her kids. They are laying out by the pool with all of the other moms and kids. As their dad arrives home he hugs his kids. Bazan uses his nail-biting cynicism to say what is really going on in the picture of the mom and dad and their kids. These kids are unaware of the inhertance they are receiving. This line could be taken many ways. It could mean the unversal theme of these kids inheritaning moral depravity or a more localized theme of the kids being taught to love the taste of “corporate cum”. This harsh line could come at no better of a time. Bazan is saying that we are raising our kids in a society that teaches them that consumerism and climbing the corporate ladder is what our society deems as success.
David Bazan knows that there is more to life than the GNP and a brand new car. God gives meaning to life. This theme is much more evident in his earlier cds, but it is obvious that he is explaing why things are wrong. Dads are having affairs, moms are concerned about their tans, and the kids are being taught to love things. I have never heard a song that portrays the human condition better than this one.
