Nothing to Gain
Music by Dave Ingram Jr.

lyrics
I’ve created a monster from my own genetic information
Haphazardly spawning clones, short form, half-baked shithouse pretenders
The next webzine to tug my beard is going to get an education
On the dangers of, tantric genre masturbation
This thing that we all helped create
Has been hijacked by reprobates
Spread so thin, 'come so absurd
The time has come to cull the herd
I've spent my life on stage, and learned to enjoy, the simple things
No online quest, farming likes, like Sonic, collects rings
Whilst they've sewn on patches, I've sewn up wounds
I'm sick of this shit, fuck this dying scene in which we're entombed
This thing you've plunged to disrepair
Hide behind your nom de guerre
All our saving throws deferred
The time has come to cull the herd
Concealing our self-service with thin veils of chivalry
Behind the masks lie naught but webs of greed and apathy
Bloated, bursting, overblown, artistic holocaust
No fame, fortune, dignity shall await you now all is lost
Obscene, inbred
Thrashing deceased equine
The dream, is dead
We've been sold short, sold out, sold down the line
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
Nothing left but dust
