Howl Down the Chimney's Schadenfreude

The way to do it is knock them down
Then put your foot on their backs when they try to rise back up from the ground
Treat them like nothing, laugh in their face
Until they feel that under your thumb is their natural place

No no no no
I disagree
Schadenfreude is an artform to me
No no no no
I disagree
It's always a good day for profiteering

The way to do it is knock them down
Then offer your hand and help them up from the ground
Look sincere with your sympathies
And they'll forget that it happens week after week after week.

No no no no
I disagree
Schadenfreude is an artform to me
No no no no
I disagree
It's always a good day for profiteering

I love that bass sound and this totally reminds me of Pink Floyd's "Money" but in an OMD type way. I have great respect for you for making a full sounding track which for the most part has only bass and vocals, and your vocals really do carry it, they remind me a lot of the choral parts in Moondog's Elpmas album. Two small criticisms for an otherwise excellent track, the "day after day after day" line sounds like you tail off a bit, and also the organ solo at the end, it doesn't sound bad but it doesn't really integrate with the rest of the track very smoothly and as such sounds like it was done for the sake of it rather than cos the song needed it. Personally I wouldn't have dropped the bass out at the end, and let the song layer up a bit.
