about

A rapturing prog blend of psychedelic, house, and punk layered with harmonic lyrics which capture the ridiculousness of the year 2020

lyrics

They say a generation is every 20 years
And this next one's facing more shit problems than I feared
We're still being shot at by cops and beat and there's still KKK
And our vice president thinks you can pray away the gays

Side hustle is drugs
Cops are worse than thugs
Sleep work smoke, get paid
It's the only way
(I've got to get out, playing both sides,
Because just one's not enough
For us to rise)

So-called post racial USA has dipshits flying Confederate flags
Toxic masculinity's so old it's nutsack is starting to sag
So fragile even poly nonmon men could ask to spy then throw a fit
You set the bar so low no wonder she's impressed with my dick

Exaclty what did we get past?
US, kiss my ass
Politics is play
Work not a single day
(Bread and circus for good girls and boys,
Who keep slaving away and suppress the noise)

One of us falls down and hurts
The pain we feel's the same
And those above who scoff and spurn
Treat our rights like it's a game
It's our job to stand and fight
For those kept in a cage
And though I'll dance the night away
I'll hold tight to my rage

Because this generation,
Fights for the nation
This generation,
Become an inspiration
Break the walls down
West Coast is burning
And they don't care
As long as the wheels keep on turning

Our homes turned to ash
Trump up Goya's ass
Promoting snake oil
While our oceans boil

The top 1%'s content to try and escape to Mars
But won't push funds to make an eco-battery electric car
Epstein was allowed to die and dirty cops never serve any time
Yet a black man can get 25 years on a marijuana peddling crime

Stop that shoplifting
Prez wants to be king
Justice for the stores
Stoke a new class war

What's the use of free
At cost of everything?
Not what that word means
Are you listening?
