about

Swamp have clawed out of the grave and brushed the dirt from their tattered burial suits; they now walk among you once more with "Candy in a Cartelized State," preceding the release of the full-length SIGOGGLIN.

lyrics

I'm a consumer; I'm a market force
Superhuman, I'm a human resource
And I'm regressing to a previous stage of development
I'm not bored or depressed anymore,
kneeling before--receiving the sacrament--
think I'll have a snack
I'm having a snack attack!

My reverie, a sampling spree
When everything else is trampling me
It reverently handles me
And then it speaks! How can this be?

You thought you'd found affection
Solace in a sweetheart's embrace
To realize it's just your reflection
In the glasses on some smartass's face
Try some of these molasses confections

Seek thou understanding
Or seek thou to pretend
Whence cometh thy candy
To spend, perchance to vend

And do you really want to know?
Do you really need the answer?
Would you rather be a hoity-toity
Tootsie holy Roller or a Jolly Rancher?

There is a squealing, scraping sound
As smoke rises from the furnace of my bowels
And the avenging angel from the height of the tower
Is coming down on my gummy burial mound

Fantasies at market rates
I'm eating candy in a cartelized state
Candy in a cartelized state
