    Our third full-length, from 2008! Encased in a comparatively Earth-friendly digipack, even though there's still some plastic in it. Also, the disc itself is non-biodegradable and will last thousands of years in a landfill, where it would eventually be discovered by future anthropologists unsure how to play any sort of physical media whatsoever. Whaddya gonna do.

lyrics

I'm not a no, I'm not a no, I'm not a nobody
I'm not a nobody but you don't see me
I'm invis-, I'm invis-, I'm invisible
But my deeds are opaque clearly

Rotting away in a schoolyard
Can't see me to push me off the swings
Cast away among the four-square
I'm waiting in the wings
Rotting away in a classroom
Raise your hand to solve the problem now
Salarymen are your future
Unless I take your head now

Just give me an opening
You'll be silent and I'll sing
They can't help but hear me cuz
I'm somebody now
You be silent and I'll sing
I'll give you the opening
They can't help but hear me cuz
I'm somebody now

You gotta wail, you gotta gnash, you gotta decry
The kids these days need to be taught some manners
Tune in to Court TV and watch me be crucified
I'll bring the nails, You bring the hammer

I stuck a head up on a fence post
It worked as advertised
Now I'm a media darling
I'm sensationalized

Just give me an opening
You'll be silent and I'll sing
They can't help but hear me cuz
I'm somebody now
You be silent and I'll sing
I'll give you the opening
They can't help but hear me cuz
I'm somebody now

I can't tell what I like better
Your scream in my ears or frozen forever
Baby, your face has never looked better cuz
I'm somebody now
Baby your face has never looked better cuz
I'm somebody now
