Liner Notes

earlier this year, i deleted my instagram account. mark zuckerburg decided he was gonna get rid of fact checking & content moderation on his platforms, and i want no part of it. anyhoo, here's a song about it!

Lyrics

well, the world's on the fritz, and you saw it coming
but you sit in your tower like you're on stable footing
the money you're paying
the killing, the slaying

i see your golden chain, and it's not that impressive
coz i watched as you caved to a fascist directive
and you've been complaining
it's oh so dismaying
that you've been obeying in advance

well you say that you want the world to be connected
so you bought all the cloth, and you poisoned the fabric
feckless and lying
the people are crying

well, the world's on the fritz, and you shoulda known better
so you sit in your tower through the craziest weather
and you've been complaining
it's oh so dismaying
that you've been obeying in advance

Ya, I'm probably not long for Metas properties myself. This whole song is great; so glad I stumbled on it! 💯

I love the background "no it's not" after the gold chain line, make me laugh. very neat chords over the "obeying in advance" line, the chord progression here is super fun and interesting in general but so is every chord progression you come up with. I love the lines "well you say that you want the world to be connected / so you bought all the cloth, and you poisoned the fabric." Such a smart way of putting it!

I'm 100% with the message. Love love the phasy elec piano comping! Such a tasty guitar lick and solo. Really like how the last cadence promises a key change and then drops back for the final chord. Super tight and cool.
