this song is terrifying, a great marriage of form and content. it's a pretty dismally one-sided view of modern culture, sure, but it's not entirely lacking for accuracy, either, even into the twenty-first century. "leave the root and clip the branches" is a great line: that and the opening sample (as well as the line "school for children, busywork training") put you in mind of "david after the dentist," the viral video of a child reeling in the backseat of his father's car after his first anesthetic experience at the dentist's office.
