New song is here: Neurotic Society.

In her own words:
Here is a link to a piece that I was ‘required’ to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline. I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music… but the message is still there. In light of Wednesday’s tragic loss (of former label mate Chris Kelly), I am even more pressed to YELL this to a multitude that may not understand the cost of allowing today’s unhealthy paradigms to remain unchecked! - MLH

Lyrics

We're living in a joke time
Metaphorical coke time
Commerce and guru men
Run the whole world men
All drug and debauchery
Old world brutality
Cold world kills softly
Whole world works savagely
Greedy men and pride fiends
Program TV screens
Quick scamming drag queens
Real life that blasphemes
Think twice this past dream
Crime, if you ask clean
Quick, fast, the poison has entered the bloodstream

Psychological massacre
Consequence is a tragedy
Mythological characters
Men and women as parody
Superficial vanity
Borderline insanity
Out of order humanity
Crime committed so passively

Desperados and casualties
Corporations want batteries
Explanations and strategies
Domination and mastery
Owned Jones and they bankrupt
Grown people so corrupt
Black stores and yellow men
Junkies and popularity
Culture so independent
Vultures scavenge reality
Past feeling depravity
Decaying social cavity
Preying on human ignorance
Popular immorality

Sympathy disease head
Population misled
Self indulgent past dead
Absence of the God head
Pimps, pushers and harlotry
Neoptism, no artistry
Despotism and piracy
Desperation, dishonesty
Physicist is your policy
No money, less equality
Inflated global ego
Imitating reality
Fuel cycle, you pharaoh!
Poisonous frozen arrows
Hypo-critics on salary
Idle hands: devil's agency
Predisposed to complacency
Jealous and audacity
Contagious social gluttony
Stages of mass malignity
Epidemic deception
Generation and atrophy
Glam life and death
Scam life and editors
By product of neglect
Children hiding from predators
Absence of self-respect
Phony, scared of competitors
Lifestyle of luxury at someone's expense

Sensitive children
Used up as sacrifice
Blind to the consequence
Smoked up in dope pipes
Ecstasy, fast life
Recklessly past life
Narcotics and cash fights
This NEUROTIC SOCIETY
Benefactors turned actors
Addictions, triple captors
Experience manufacture
IN THIS NEUROTIC, TOXIC SOCIETY

It's like post war
They're looking for the communists
And who the Marxists is
Ten thousand pictures on Facebook
It's like the pot calling the kettle 'narcissist'
C'mon really?
Saying, "the devil"
But you're the chief arsonist
Hypocrites can't even see their own part in this
No reflection. Vampire paradigm
No introspection
This star, that star rants; has a breakdown
Three months before pure obsession
Picture can't take down
Children, it's a shakedown
They're just looking for a sacrifice
They've been doing this before
Bobby Darin sang "Mack the Knife"
Before James Dean's car did a jackknife
Perhaps, it's because they lack life
Or Lack guts
Never confuse the head with the butt
"Opinions are like assholes and most of them stink"
I was told by a woman, so rethink
Don't ever let them lead you to drink
Lead you to doubt
Lead you to fall
Get up stand up
Cast Lucifer out
Shake it up, baby
Watch them twist it and shout
Insecure assholes, looking for a ticket
To ride on somebody like the picket
It's fucking wicked!
Shame on 'em
IN THIS NEUROTIC TOXIC SOCIETY

Sick cycle psychology
In desperate need of psychiatry
Exorcism, sobriety, forcing social lobotomy
People stuck in dichotomies
Pseudo sicko anxiety
Serial criminals dressed in Variety
Social transvestism
Subliminal dressed up as piety
Transference, projections like Cartesian images
Robbing innocence, stealing inheritance
Quiet victims with no defense
Betrayed over dollars and cents
Maladjusted and ignorant
Malediction and dissonance
Too much addiction
No consciousness
Don't trust it!
This cosmology's busted!
Broken and returns to the dusted
Thinks it's corruption
Oppression, deceit
Abuse and repeat
They don't feel complete
Unless they're robbing the sheep
Man is not a product!
If you call him that...then STOP IT!
IN THIS NEUROTIC GODLESS SOCIETY
