about

coprophagy: the eating of feces that is normal behavior among many animals.

Over a century ago, "Trickle-down economics" went by the name "Horse and Sparrow Theory" as in "If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows." This more honest formulation indicates that your rulers expect you to eat and survive off of their overfed horseshit.

lyrics

go back to bed sweet children
meritocratic lullabies will send you off to sleep
the invisible hand’s in your pocket
the invisible finger points at “those minorities”

the horse engluts, digests
expels the sparrow’s feed
we trust you know your place
enjoy coprophagy

yeah we're getting invisible handsy
with Mother Nature
didn't even buy her a drink
temperatures rise! (rise!)
profits rise! (rise!)
inequality rise! (rise!)
liberals (emoji sighs)
this just in — don’t you fret!
our corporate logos now come in rainbow and green!

the horse engluts, digests
expels the sparrow’s feed
we trust you know your place
enjoy coprophagy
