Cover art for Cesspools In Eden lyrics by Dead Kennedys

To those of us who live here in the bay area, the song is about how no matter how little room we have left to expand onto, developers will have their way and put houses on a garbage dump in pursuit for the all mighty dollar. Who cares if it smells forever. They got paid. Theres a subdivision in union city that always smells like rotten garbage because it's a flattened dump. The people don't seem to care about the fumes or their lawns and plants that keep dying. The houses now are so close together that theres not much yard anyway.
