Cashier 03:04
Be nice and polite to the cashier Spent all her shelf life on a career Be nice and polite to the cashier She's a superstar Cashier-superstar She's just a nametag to you But Jessie, I see you She's a superstar Cashier superstar Be nice and polite to the cashier It's a quarter past nine and she's outta here

Female Hide 03:26
You meet me in the corner booth A dirty social saber-tooth I kept the office nice & neat I pick the dirt we blow off steam Ah ah ah ah Pull up & offer me a ride You want my shiny female hide A quarter pound of human flesh A steaming pile how picturesque Ah ah ah ah Spread out breathless Birthright Digest Soundbyte spreadsheet Phased out Horse meat Off right Middle sex Airtight waitress Ah ah ah ah I'm coming down spread my guts all around

Middletown 03:45
Pleased to meet you Likewise the smell of fresh cut grass as a welcome sign The kids all look the same have very common names they eat and breathe the same My neighbor thinks he's god as I watch him wash his car Wax it really good Ah ah ah ah In Middletown suburbia white moms drown in their glass of Beaujolais Now wash it down Peak out the window I think their son is at home In the garage below Is where he hides his blow Ah ah ah ah In Middletown suburbia White moms revel around their granite countertops Police make their rounds In middletown with the windows down In middletown

Dirty Pets 03:58
Cry in your car Coming out of therapy on the couch Foot on the gas Make a turn take a left on automatic pilot Dial the volume up drown out the noise blank stare taking in static air change on the dash order trash, fake meat, throw it in the back seat you've had it rough Julia Crawl into bed with dirty pets With dirty pets in the bed

about

Whereas "Big Inhale" was introspective and dreamy,"Dirty Pets" awakes from subdued slumber. The music tugs at your ribcage, while the lyrics take aim at social status and class alienation. The overarching themes of female subordination and classist beliefs are conveyed through the lens of 4 female protagonists, present within each song.
