"Thrift" is the seventh and final track on the 1992 release Live As Hell. It was initially planned to be officially released in 1991 on the band's then-seventh cassette, Thrift, but this demo was shelved for reasons unknown. Curiously, while Madonna Wayne Gacy did not receive a music credit for the song on Live as Hell or Refrigerator, his name is credited in the liner notes of Lunch Boxes & Choklit Cows.

Lyrics

    I sit here all knowing, knowing nothing here at all, my cuts spread slower, pig hands reach
    into my sides, I hate this life you give me, I give you hate you live for me, I love the pain you
    give me, this hurting feels like love to me, they go down, down... down inside they go down
    town, down town they go down town to sell... my body hangs on hooks, a cloth to society, your     
    dolars wet my skin, makes me papier mache thrift, I hate this life you give me, I give you
    hate you live for me, I love the pain, I love this hurting feels like love to me, they go down...
    down town, down town they go, down town, down town to sell, me
