'''4-LOM''' is a song by [[Cojum Dip]], present on every release by the band.

==History==
4-LOM is one of the earliest songs written for the band, dating as far back as 2004. It was first recorded September 11th, 2004, this demo being uploaded to the website Vicious Enterprises. This version features an early second pre-chorus, and later appeared on [[The Greatest Demo CD in the Universe]]. The song then was rerecorded [[Anthropomorphic Bible Assault EP]], and features speaking from most of the band members. The [[Turk Off EP]] (2010) version of the song removes the electric baglama solo, and the final version of the song, present on the [[Cojum Dip (Album)|self-titled album]], combines elements from the 2008 "+4LOM_ORANGE2" demo and the 2010 Remix demo. The self-titled album would also set "4-LOM" as the definitive name of the song (on previous releases, the names "4LOM", "4LO$" and "4♥O$" would be used interchangeably).

== Trivia ==
* Demos of the song, in particular the demo titled "4 love of $" appearing on the first [[The Greatest Demo CD in the Universe]] variant, suggest that the name 4-LOM means "For Love of Money", 
* The song might be named after [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/4-LOM a character with the same name] from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars Star Wars] franchise.
* The song interpolates the "Fever" theme from Dr. Mario.<ref>[https://twitter.com/cobrantor/status/1792177120019411373?t=zDhfiAQsqTLLhI6Km3E9FQ&s=19 COJUM DIP FANS, I HAVE DISCOVERED SOMETHING.] @cobrantor, Twitter.

"I think Cajum Dip is gonna be, uhh, coming out the door!
So give it a great big hand, Cajum Dip!"

"Bring me some dip!"

Open eyes
They can’t disguise 
the new color etched into my mind along with Mr. Smith
He sits there
so patiently
A life ended soon with broken nails and the mirror’s frame I never see

It seems so fine
if it were mine
I would own most nothing
It seems so fine 
if it were mine
The world is for me, err

It seems so fine
if it were mine
I would own most nothing
It seems so fine 
if it were mine
The world is for me

I've found my love

If I could wash the world away
would I begin to live that way?
If I could wash the world away
would I begin to live that way?

And though they say it’s poisonous,
their bath does wash their pain away!

their bath does wash their pain away
(Screaming)

Childhood could see the ruffles of
paper, useless things
Watch them buy that shiny 
thing that makes my daddy 
smile
smile

Waiting all week
One day it’s mine
Crying halts to nothing
The joy that I seek

I've found my love

I want 
an eternity
so long as I
can brush away my grief
my grief!

Open eyes
They can’t disguise 
the new color etched into my mind along with Mr. Smith
He sits there
so patiently
A life ended soon with broken nails and the mirror’s frame I never see

It seems so fine
if it were mine
I would own most nothing
It seems so fine 
if it were mine
The world is for me, ahh

It seems so fine
if it were mine
I would own most nothing
It seems so fine 
if it were mine
The world is for me

I've found my love
