Panic

Concrete floresces white
The same head
The same body
Dog knows I won’t pull it thru tonight
The same head
The same body
Broke back and leisured earned
The same head
The same body
But won’t stop the mental churn
The same head
The same body
There’s not enough time
There’s not enough time
There’s not enough time
And I have to fucking be polite
Stopped drinking so I could pay a shrink
The same head
The same body
There’s truly a crack in everything
The same head
The same body
Mark my age in changing facades
The same head
The same body
Can’t see through the mental fog
The same head
The same body

Forest Hill
416 city
Dundas West
Junction and Roncy
Influencers
They look the same
Think they’re edgy but
Petit bourgeois tame
You want everyone to know who you are
You bought a $3000 guitar
Out of your scene’s slumber now
In the Bush years you were nowhere to be found
Late to the party leftist, boy
Stack social capital build and decoy
The view from the wrong side of vaccine is
You sure as hell don’t speak for me, kid
What’s it like, think crystal clear?
Every move and scene’s a problem
What’s it like, think crystal clear?
Every move and scene’s a problem
Myths make your reality spin or
Realities that are made of myths or
Hours ground down talking to your device
Each day returning with less of your life
Gimme the ones who don’t know the diff
Between bands Ex/X or the Faith/Void split
Parasite, one bedroom basement
Some of us aren’t going to make it.
What’s it like, think crystal clear?
Every move and scene is a problem
What’s it like, think crystal clear?
Every move and scene’ s a problem
What’s it like, think crystal clear?
Every move and scene is a problem
What’s it like, think crystal clear?
Every move and scene’ s a problem

There’s not shame in getting help
But lord there is shame
I don’t believe Gen X nostalgia
Is anything but more of the same
Human computer interaction
Wish I was Eno but I’m Fripp
Invisible ideology
On a privilege maintenance trip
Now I wanna be a good boy
Reverb is dishonest
Success would be an even bigger failure
Isolated and on it

Bodies
01:22

You’ve buried something in a filing cabinet
I’m just like you, only I’m bad at it
Let’s have a look now, let’s have it
Red and blank ink, financial transactions
Cornered by your own self-serving rhetoric
Makes your white liberal bullshit pathetic
With nothing to lose, man, they’d make you regret it
It’d cost them their job and but can have at it
Come start it
For the bodies that remain,
Come start it
Both of us again

Cold War
02:42
|

|
For the rough and crooked and mountainous ones
Social innovation
Capital makes for motivation
Privatize the profits...
Socialize the costs...
You want to save the world, yeah
You want to save the world, yeah
You want to save the world, yeah
And you want to be the boss
A cold war vision is what you have
This cold war vision of dystopia
It’s capitalist fantasism
Individual self uber alles
Consumer, brand, We make nothing
Consumer, brand, huh.
Consumer, brand, upstart startup
Consumer brand - we all just shut up
Johnny coming lately
Takes the credit then scatters
Social media star, look at you,
It’s a tired and male pattern
Invisible ideology
With vultures overhead
Statements to be made
but nothing really said
Look to the capital
Now, look to the votes
The Board of Governors - a consultancy firm
To the comfortable you give hope
Public relations
And amoral clients
Suspect political appointments
Fixing cases for [...]
Trafficking in racist tropes
Stick to your guns but don’t fire
Do the right thing and get fired
Stick to your guns but don’t fire
Do the right thing and get fired
That’s what I heard, anyway
