Lyrics

It’s like cigarette smoke in a restaurant
You can sit in the non-smoking section if you want
But it’s everywhere
At the swimming pool on a hot summer day
Someone pees in the water, sure—swim away
But it’s everywhere

It’s everywhere, everywhere
Inescapable as the very air
You can try to run to here or there
But it’s everywhere

Ideas aren’t tied to the physical plane
They’re as vast and expansive as the human brain
They are everywhere
The mind is a bottle and inside is a djinn
And once it gets out, it ain’t never going back in
Now it’s everywhere

It’s everywhere, everywhere
The realization’s tough to bear
From the furthest reaches to the village square
Yeah it’s everywhere

There’s no option to refuse
No escape from the daily news
Any way you go, you lose
So how in the world do you choose?

Because it’s everywhere, everywhere
Money and corruption are quite the pair
And you can’t run away from a shadowy scare
Because it’s everywhere
Yeah it’s everywhere, everywhere
Survival depends on a wing and a prayer
And it’s too late for the buyers to say beware
Because it’s everywhere

Dayum! "Money and corruption are quite the pair" - yes. The beat makes me want to dance, the words make me want to weep.

nice opening lines for the idea. solid theme and nice vibe... i saw you mention "bassing" on cello in slack so decided to start here when i saw the hashtag.

This is all kinds of super cool. The music is cool, the vocal effects are cool, and the lyrics are both entertaining and hard hitting. Love it!

@metalfoot 2w

Are you playing the cello pizzicato?
Nailed it with the tune and the social commentary.

My dude! Such truth and power here. Someone pees in the water, sure swim away. Brilliant and simply accurate. I feel this right now. Thank you for the art you make Carley!

Great delivery, pace, and style. Loved it. Clever imagery throughout... bravo!
(Although the thought of someone peeing in the pool while drinking my morning coffee nearly made me into a mess.)

Clever! Love the delivery - very (fill in the blank) can't remember her name but she does performance art and she sang about a red dress in a nightclub about the inequality of pay for men vs women. Enjoyed the vintage reverb on the vocals.
