"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, yeah
I love the pain you give me,
This hurting feels like love to me, yeah
They go down town, down town
They go down inside
Down inside
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, yeah
I hate this life you give me,
I give you hate you live for me, yeah
I love the pain you give me,
This hurting feels like love to me, yeah
They go down town, down town
They go down inside
Down inside
Down inside
They go down town
Down town
They go down town to sell
