  Bread stapled to trees
  Bread stapled to trees
  Bread stapled to trees
  Bread stapled to trees
  Bread stapled to trees
  Bread stapled to trees
  Bread stapled to trees
  Bread stapled to trees

  Japanese juniper pairs well with white bread
  You know that pita pairs with pine
  Pin that gluten free
  On the side of a lemon tree

  Yeah, we make the bird's happy
  Touring around the city
  Sourdough on oak
  Twelve-grain on cedar

  The people need to know
  Super Mario
  Yeah, bro you're toast

  Bread stapled to trees
  Bread stapled to trees
  Bread stapled to trees
  Bread stapled to trees
  Bread stapled to trees
  Bread stapled to trees
  Bread stapled to trees
  Bread stapled to trees

Track four on [*Plague Beats, Vol. 1*](/albums/plague-beats-vol-1/) (**September 21, 2020**), one minute, Luke solo. The title is the [**Bread Stapled to Trees**](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/bread-stapled-to-trees) meme, the r/BreadStapledToTrees subculture turned into a chant. The hook is the whole joke, eight times, mantra rather than buildup.

In between, a sommelier's guide to vandalism breaks out: *Japanese juniper pairs well with white bread*, *sourdough on oak*, *twelve-grain on cedar*. Same sourdough brain as [*I Am a Slave to the Yeast*](/songs/i-am-a-slave-to-the-yeast/) on [*Masks and Monsters*](/albums/masks-and-monsters/), in meme register. Then eight more *bread stapled to trees*, and out.
