lyrics

Predatory humans come prepackaged in a city of lights,
depressing cityscapes, a habitat unnatural.
They sustain a diet of a sadomasochistic design
by plugging in to TV talk shows and infocommercials.
Some kind of fear reaction causes them to group together
and look for weaker things to ridicule.
Meanwhile, imaginary monetary deities
are prayed to daily in the public schools.

So handle with care, the zoos are getting full.
These hairless monkeys can be unpredictable.
Please don't feed the animals;
we've got to keep them weak.
Don't want to fuel that vicious streak.

Predatory humans come imprisoned in a city of steel.
They circle through a maze
of meaningless and mindless routine.
Slaved to a runaway technology,
they're chained to the Wheel
and dragged along behind the juggernaut of Industry.
Some portion of the population tries to keep the peace
as government just falls to pieces.
The opportunist carnivores begin the feeding frenzy,
but the prey has already been swept to sea.

about

whatever... Cleveland, Ohio

whatever... was a Cleveland band in the 1990s. We opened for lots of great acts (e.g., Jawbox, Bosstones, Samiam) and even had a following of our own. Really, if you went to a Cleveland punk show in the mid-'90s, chances are pretty good you saw us. This is the stuff we were playing early on.

You can also hit either of the below links to buy the band's final album, Youngsters, on Amazon or iTunes.
