CHAPTER 4

“All The Foie Gras You Can Stuff In That Toxic Dump You Call a Mouth”

The world has gone insane and you are the only one who realizes it. At least, that’s how it always seems, doesn’t it?

Especially for Johnny Desperation, who still can’t quite figure out the new people he goes to school with. Maybe he really is crazy, but he just doesn’t understand why anyone would pay $150 for a slice of pizza, or willingly eat caviar. The new drugs he’s taking aren’t even numbing his awareness, either, but enhancing it.

There is something sticking in Johnny’s eye, and it is decay.

What will it take to get it out?

LYRICS

When I look ’round, I only see outta one eye
As the smoke surrounds my head, the sauna
I hear the voices, but I can’t make out their words
Saying things, saying things that
I got something sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye
I feel unusual from thinking
About the underground decay, God help me
Kill beneath the camera, watch the world begin to cry
It’s not from pity, it comes from
What’s been sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye

CHAPTER 1

“And Then There Were Three”

With the prologue over, we are now taken to Day One of the main Four Days of Toxicity’s plot. This is a very short chapter, and is used as a space for Johnny Desperation’s now ex-girlfriend to rant about what a shitty, pretentious asshole Johnny has turned into since winning the lottery.

It sets the ground for what kind of atmosphere we can expect from Johnny’s chapters, as well as sparks a conspiratorial bond between Addison, Addison’s boyfriend (Connor), and Johnny’s ex-girlfriend (Candy).

But basically, everything sucks.

Especially today.

LYRICS

Got up this morning to make some coffee
Everything sucks today
Prayed someone hired a hitman to off me
Everything sucks today
Got up on the wrong side of life this morning
Nothin today is gonna go my way
Horoscope told me lies this morning
I don’t think anything is gonna be okay today
Everything sucks today
Everything sucks today
Everything sucks today
Right girl didn’t call and the wrong one’s knockin’
Everything sucks today
Flat tire on my car so I guess i’m walkin
Everything sucks today
Taxman came and took my money
Now all my other bills are gonna be late
My girlfriend’s movin in this mornin
I don’t think anything is gonna be okay today
Everything sucks today
Everything sucks today
Everything sucks today
Got up on the wrong side of life this mornin
Nothing today is gonna go my way
Horoscope told me lies this morning
I don’t think anything is gonna be okay today
Everything sucks today
Everything sucks today
Everything sucks today

PROLOGUE PART 3

“Fun with Grapes”

Imagine your family is a few weeks away from being evicted. You have no money, your mother is mentally insane, your father can’t light his pipe on the first try, and your brother is too fat to get off the couch. In fact, your dog, Zooey Deschanel, is the only decent member of your dysfunctional family. Life is shit, and in your head, it will only get shittier.

Then, your mother suddenly wins the lottery, and you’re transformed into the lifestyle of the rich and famous. You get a big house, a giant chocolate fountain in your kitchen, and you go to a new school for hipsters and Microsoft prodigies. You have taken a severe 180.

Such is the dramatic turn of events for Johnny Desperation in the closing section of Toxicity’s prologue. He has gone from a ghetto kid to a new, upgraded 21st century digital boy. Johnny is a cynic at heart, and this new lifestyle does not sit well for him. He looks at his new peers, and all he can see is their utter bullshit. Nothing is real. He’s living in a condiment society, in an Apple-branded planet. Johnny is now an iLifer, and there’s no getting out.

LYRICS

I can’t believe it, the way you look sometimes
Like a trampled flag on a city street, oh yeah
And I don’t want it, the things you’re offering me
Symbolized bar code, quick ID, oh yeah

[Chorus:]
See I’m a 21st century digital boy
I don’t know how to read but I’ve got a lot of toys
My daddy’s a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy’s on Valium, so ineffectual
Ain’t life a mystery?

I can’t explain it, the things you’re saying to me
It’s going yayayayayayaya, oh yeah

[Chorus]

Tried to tell you about no control
But now I really don’t know
And then you told me how bad you had to suffer
Is that really all you have to offer?

[Chorus]

[outro]
Cat’s foot, iron claw
Neurosurgeon, scream for more
Innocence raped with napalm fire
Everything I want, I really need.

[fade out]
21st century schizoid boy
21st century video boy
21st century digital boy…
