Smash 01:37
lyrics

Hey Sara-I'm looking for something Hey Carin-I'm looking for something too Let's find some friends/wanna make a mess with you Heavy in my hands heavy in my hands, heavy Let's run, load a gun with our soleless shoes Let's smash this glass house to the ground Break through to the other side It's easier than it sounds It's a see-through prison, why stay Behind bars just made in minds Lift the blankets off our eyes Break free from silent cries Heavy in my hands, heavy in my hands, heavy Let's run, load a gun with our soleless shoes

Litterbug 02:42
lyrics

The debris of assholes Is all over this city no grass grows Energies of the fearless masses Filling atmosphere with weird gases And the stink of a ne'er do well culture Whatchu think of our fairytale, vulture When you swoop for the cadillac roadwin All you get is a rat-attacked soda can The degree of litter In our city Thrown around like glitter Like it's for bound or glory A plastic mayhem thrown down as sacrifice To the gods of material It's the man on the corner Working under cover The corrupt employer Stealing lunch from homeless Their souls have been vaporised Staring emptiness into your eyes All the ghettos are full of wrappers One is better and the other we're after Dirty spaces no walls no corridors Alerting makes us so tall, blowing orders To the others but I don't wanna boss around Can't they wanna for the sake of all figure out We're the makers of our carbon imprints We're the takers of our far-gone innocence The debris of assholes In our city like a bug infestation On all the streets and corners Assholes In our city like a bug infestation We're starting to look like hoarders

Portals 05:32
lyrics

What do we do when our computers break? I am nothing without my portal, mouths are mortal, tapping robots never die I am nothing without my portal, mouths are moral, robots lie When my phone is dead And the router is shed And the cable is going in and out What about the book I wrote Or the movie plot That will never see the light of day What about the notes I took And that designer's look And the demos I never got to share It was a genius book And now I'm off the hook Cause I can no longer open my Mac Book (repeat chorus) And I was standing in line with that guy from heroes I was gonna tweet it but...I'm so disconnected And I wanted to tell the world it's "complicated" But I can't change by stat cause...I'm so disconnected OMG, ROFL, haha that's awesome! Status update from one of our friends (repeat chorus) I am something with my little avatar With my box-brain (random yells and noise and shenanigans) Keeping me sane, in my box-brain OMG, ROFL, haha that's awesome Fucking smiley face TTYL

Hush, Little Rebel (Baby) 01:35
lyrics

Scissors, rips, and pins to change Uniformity is a cage Rivets, spikes, and hair dyed black Fuck your teachers, fuck your track Spray cans keep your neighborhood clean You are fucking up our suburban scheme Tide your room, keep the surface neat We'll repeat the pattern if you clean your teeth Hide your ritalin under tongue Play with other drugs for fun Wear religion like a coat Mama gave you to keep out the cold Look at the screen till your eyes turn squared Listen to the message till it cracks your head Smash up the screen before your eyes turn squared Mute the message before it cracks your head

Zombie Brain 03:20
lyrics

We are time bombs ticking The hours are chains Restlessness runs through our veins Cut me open like a salty fish I'll feed your belly if you grant my wish We're like a dammed up river About to burn into dust Choke on the water Fill our lungs with rust We're time bombs ticking We are man and machine We're time bombs ticking Gonna battle the regime I'm the cardboard man twitching through my dreams I'm the cashmere collar popping pills to stay clean I'm the zombie mode teacher here to eat your brain We're Carin and Sara here to save your remains Gonna battle the regime Here to save your remains

about

Chicks Throwing Bricks-our first live EP-We recorded these songs on October 14, 2011 in our basement...If lo-fi was like playing limbo (how "lo" can you go???) we would be the really flexible guy who can still bend to get all the way under when the stick is about 2 inches off the ground. :) We had a blast making it, and we hope you enjoy. If you download it here and want the tangible copy, come to a show and we'll give you the handmade version. :)
