    Story Behind the Song
    This is an antidote to feeling self-righteous. Is art really more honorable than banking? It's also the realization that we will remain envious despite our best intentions (in this case, of someone else's musical ability).

    There are also some references to packaging, advertising, and the fact that we learned it all from somewhere.

    Lyrics
    all the bankers will talk
    arms outstretched toward breakeven
    and so-called artists will balk
    until the tides of favor suggest they'll succeed

    you're the essence of good form
    always promising more
    plastic wrapped softcore
    where did you get yours? I want one, too

    through the teeth clips a phrase
    despite our effort we will all crawl
    to slip through the streets, a charade
    whose best practice is it to feel small?

    now it's the joke that's the lure
    sugar coating on young throats
    but I'm only half pure
    all my methods were learned by rote
