American Piss

No Attitude

December 27th 2015, Disneyland, CA. That morning on TV I had watched the chief of the Cleveland PD say that the officers who shot Tamir Rice would not face disciplinary charges. 

I stood corralled in line waiting 90 minutes to ride the Haunted Mansion, thinking that the white cops who shot Tamir Rice would carry on with their lives while his had been cut short. Thinking about what must surely be hundreds of thousands of gallons of shit and piss coursing through the sewers beneath Disneyland, veins of waste beneath the former orange grove. The most magical place on earth didn’t seem so magical. 

“American Piss” from our first LP invokes riding Splash Mountain while tragedy and injustice occurs nearby and we wait idly for the apocalypse. Flash forward a year later, and it’s nearly impossible to keep ignoring, maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe it’s a wakeup call to resist, instead of paying $6 for a churro at Disneyland.
