This song speaks for itself. Also we don't recycle so we're sorta hypocritical.
lyrics
Chords: C-am-F-G - outro: G-am-F-G
Verse 1:
Well I’ve been to California, where the grass is very brown,
'Cause all the agribusiness took the water from our ground.
We tried to rise in protest, but they surely shut us down,
And now they go to bed without the fear we’ll ever drown.
Chorus:
Yes I've been everywhere, I've seen the valleys and the springs.
I've seen the way we treat our animals and other human beings.
But what makes me the most sad is what isn't clearly seen,
The dark inside of everyman where lies their wicked greed.
Woah.
Verse 2:
And I've been to the east coast where the businessmen do lie,
I've seen them in their ivory towers set against the sky.
Clean suits and fancy cars do not make you a man,
Rather we love capitalism and burning the Qur'an.
And all throughout the midwest, the native lands are gone,
They’re swallowed up by factories and over watered lawns.
And how have we repaid them? I ask you to respond.
No bank note was ever wrote, to release them from their bonds.
Chorus
Bridge:
Yes we are all a plague, we are a disease upon this earth.
You have no idea the shit you caused the moment of your birth,
Some of us are normal but some of us are worse,
Our best laid plans have turned this land into a fucking hearse.
If we give you one thing more, I'm sure you’ll take the lot.
'Till there's no ground to stand on, this place is all we’ve really got.
We're bleeding and we're broken, and our land has turned to rot
come, stand and fight with me, you’ll probably be shot.
Chorus

Baribeau is so honest and open on this record, it's almost too painful to listen too. The man bares his soul, and it's a touching and honest look at life, love, & what we all are doing here. Trashbag Ponchos
Apes of the State is everything right about folk-punk. Angsty, gritty, deeply engaging, and about personal and societal growth. April Hartman shows she's top of the writing game on this charming album Trashbag Ponchos
