Skeletons in the Closet - lyrics SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET EP
DEAD MEN DON'T CONSUME: You have had enough; you donīt need so much. But you want some more and you canīt hold on. Too bad we live so long - Dead men donīt consume!
*) Capitalism works? Imagine two cars for each family in this world! I admit that this song has something to do with Mr. Pentti Linkolaīs thoughts and ideas. Itīs not that I exactly agree with him all the time but sometimes it feels so damn refreshing to hear some totally radical and provoking opinions.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: How many times you have to walk into a door? Count in your mind: one, two, three, four! Smash the door - get the fuck out. Isnīt there something you stopped dreaming about? Domestic violence between your friends. Domestic violence between your neighbours. Domestic violence; it exists everywhere. Domestic violence... Get out! Destructive relationship you call love is nothing but a tradition you keep up. Thereīs plenty of people just waiting for you. You donīt have to stay beaten up black and blue. 1-2-3-4 break the fucking door. Now!
*) Can you explain what makes men to turn to such bastards? Nowadays there are support-groups for men who want to get rid of their violent behaviour in their relationships. So, if you have used violence against your partner get into a contact with your local group now!

ABUSERS: If you are a Finnish kid and you have a cancer youīve got a chance to meet a star. He comes to you and shakes your hand, smiles for the camera and cheers you up. Oh no! I hate you fucking fuckers, I hate you fucking all! The most hypocrite childabusers this country carries on! And politicians who cut the very expenses from the social- and health affairs will be your best friend - just as long as cameras run.
*) A wolf in lambs clothing? In Finland we have this popular charitable organization called "Lastenklinikan kummit" translated: "Godfathers of the childrenīs clinic" that raises funds for childrenīs clinic. So, every now and then we can see how certain right-wing politicians (who cut the very expenses...), rock- & popstars, NHL-icehockey millionaires, our infamous Hollywood-director etc. let everyone know - televised, of course! - how worried they are about these poor children... Of course I have nothing against raising funds for these children - these clinicīs are surely in a desperate need of money! But the way these celebs do it makes me fucking sick! Imagine a politician who is a responsible for cuts of the health affairs advertizing this organization... Fucking clever manipulation? Aarrrgghhhh!!!!

ALIENS: This role of the m.a.n. is not made for me. All masculine boasting is so alienating. I see it in your eyes how you hate my lifestyle. Youīd like to send people like me straight to the x-files. How many generations will it take to achieve equality in every state? How many years ītil we internalize this: Sex is nothing more than how you piss! I hate this self-imprisonment in genderrolesī hold. Itīs like wasting our lives īcos of an ancient mold. How men treat women, how women treat men - the same old shit that should have been buried with Adam! I alienate myself, you alienate yourself.
*) Going to a new workplace can be a really nightmarish experience sometimes. In most cases you must talk with somebody. About what? I donīt like sports, racist or sexist jokes donīt make me laugh, I donīt know much about cars, I donīt eat meat... So, do I have something in common with these average middle-aged men? The way we piss? Except that they seem to miss the bowl... These genderroles really suck! If you are a very feminine man and you show this feminine side of yours in a group of men - not to mention if you are a gay - this group can be really shun or even hostile to you and you can be sure that you are the "alien" in their eyes. Iīd like to believe that women are more open-minded towards very masculine woman or lesbians. No way?
