Liner Notes

#punk #oldies #doom #gloom #party #OHOH

Thought I'd try to write an oldies sounding punk tune that jokes about the doom and gloom that's on a lot of people's minds right now. A lot of FAWM songs I've heard and commented on kind of seem a little aggravated, angry and sometimes scared. I feel it too. but I'm confident that good will prevail. Keep making art homies. Love to all.

Lyrics

Gallows Humour

To say I’m not nervous is the biggest of lies
When your heart beats so hard and you feel like you could die
Take a deep breath. Take the next step
Place the next brick until it all falls on your head
It all falls on you head again

The five mile bridge is falling down
The world stopped turning this time around
Fireflies refuse to shine
The network has messed up our minds
But we can turn our backs
On this global heart attack
And it’s clear the decks been stacked
But there are no rules in this life
So it’s time we hack…
(Hack at the roots of injustice? Life Hacks? Hack into the mainframe? All of the above?)

I don’t suppose I should freestyle lies
But I’m thinking all the time about this time that goes by
If everybody’s tired and nobody tries
Are we even justified in singing why oh why?
