lyrics

Spit it out
Spit it out
Spit it out

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled
Was convincing the world he didn’t exist
Ignorance was amiss, blind pupils turned
Etched onto his short-list
Bagged occultist

For better or worse
Stack her curse, stack her curse
Towing the rotten hearse

One two three four, reaper ashore
Skeleton key, scythe and oar
One two three four, don’t lock your door
He’s already inside, your flesh his moor

Ego’s intellect met its’ match, narcissistic
For better, for worse
Stacking his curse
Reciting a rotten verse
Sever the spine

Sever the spine
Poltergeist has his vice, addicted to dice
Sever the spine
Ex mortis undying to support this
Sever the spine
Bagged occultist
Sever the spine
Bagged occultist

Sad but true, pale skin turned blue
One two three four, reaper ashore
Skeleton’s key, scythe and oar
It’s always sad, you know it’s sad but true

Sever the spine
Poltergeist has his vice, addicted to dice
Sever the spine
Ex mortis, I’m dying to support this

You know it’s sad but true

You know it’s sad but true
You know it’s sad but true
Spit it out

about

The (John) Candy California

The (John) Candy has been described as many things...a nostalgia machine, an embarrassment, sample-core, nostalgia-core, and tribute-core.

All music is sampled from other hardcore/metal/djent/metalcore/etc. acts, woven into a nostalgic tapestry of movie quotes, and most recently, pop music of the era. The band has self-produced and released four additional EPs, one single, and two full lengths. ... more
