The chorus for track 1 is a common depression-era saying

Lyrics

Track 1. No Thanks, We're Good
Mega corporation, no thanks we're good. 
We've got everything that we need in the hood
Glue for a broken shoe, garden for some kale
String for a holey thing, a whole big box of nails

Chorus (2x) Use it up up up
                   Wear it out out out
                   Make it do do do, or
                   Do without out out

Dontcha need some brand new junk, made with slave labor? 
Naw man, if anything, I would super rather
Sew a patch on my pants, find stuff in the alley
Forage for my herbal tea, get a used one gladly
[Chorus]
Recession, depression, in stores and my head. 
Each day it's harder to get out of bed.
Give a friend a helping hand, go the extra mile
Sharing time, talent, tools, or even just a smile
[Chorus]

------------------------------------------------------------

Track 2. You ruin everything
You've slathered ads on every surface
Your constant push to buy things crushes
You made the internet oppressive
Your propaganda is aggressive

Chorus: We will not concede (we will not concede)
              It's shit we don't need (it's shit we don't need)
              You need to touch grass (you need to touch grass)
              Get your head out your... greed

You weaponize ourselves against us
Drown us in nonsense til we're senseless
Forcing this fictional world of lack
By drowning you out we take our minds back
[Chorus]
You're an incessant intrusion
A noise pollution
An unseemly barrage of 
demented illusion

A harmful invasion
Overstimulation
A constant assault
Of modern contagion

Our global damnation
Is from your fixation
To rake in the cash
By sustained violation

You sell desecration
To all generations
The end of our problems
Might be your castration

           Track 3: Pals of mine

Catfish swims in dirty ponds and dives for heavy stones
Vita keeps the woodchucks down and nibbles on their bones
Fergus is a goblin brat and a young curmudgeon 
Annie is a terrierist, a shaggy ragamuffin
Jackson is an ass biter eighty-sixed from every vet
Taco has a taste for blood, nearly put his mom in debt
Otis likes...         has a plush collection
Scout refuses to intrude and treasures field trips
Henry is a little dude who gnaws on all the sticks

My neighbor Rex jumps the fence to shit in my backyard
ACAB Mauser, like a bear, could cuddle or stand guard
Mowgli ignores all the rules to follow new adventures
Lola hitchhikes all around so trusting and so tender
Slam Dunk is a wild eyed anarchist rambunctious 
Peaches likes to babysit but finds cats to be scrumptious
Patient Sam is nice to cats but kicks me off the bed
Sunny is an old tomboy and eats the whole damn loaf of bread
Rosie is a big galumph who loves to make a friend
Honey naps in the backyard but rolls up to defend

Caleb is a quiet guy and a coyote chaser
Sadie rescues little lambs and loves them like a mother
Frances was a feral girl living in a desert cave
Bull, a foiled outdoorsman, eventually was saved
Confident Miss Mustard is a loaf of joy and light 
Bean, a gnarly grandma, watching fish is her delight
Blueberry was saved by punks, scooped up from a van bed
Pippin argues like a kid, his snores could wake the dead

------------------------

Rowdy gals and scrappy guys, Can't ignore those restless sighs
Chasing trouble all the time, You're the best partner in crime

Running with our chosen pack, no matter what we got your back
Living life with my best friend, With you the party never ends

From yappy shits to goofy pits, Mud and puke and drool and ticks
Love from the streets, fleas in the sheets, You and me we are completes
