The 4th released song and 1st on the album “Grief Chapter” by Mother Mother. This song is about the fact that everyone will eventually die. The title “Nobody Escapes” refrencing the fact that nobody is able to evade death.
[Verse 1]
A jellyfish, a gigolo, a politic
Don't make a lick of diff, no
Nobody, nobody escapes
[Verse 2]
A puppy dog, a butterfly
Ladies and babies, you're first in line
Nobody, nobody escapes, amen, yeah
[Chorus]
And they won't go easy on you just 'cause you're skinny
And they won't go easy on me just 'cause I'm pretty, yeah, pretty ugly
[Verse 3]
The innocent (The innocent), the animals (The animals)
Every one of you, get down in the hole
Nobody, nobody escapes, amen, yeah
[Chorus]
And they won't go easy on you just 'cause you'rе so skinny (Skinny)
And they won't go easy on me just 'causе I'm so pretty
'Cause I'm pretty
'Cause I'm pretty, pretty, pretty ugly
[Bridge]
So follow me into the sky (Sky)
And let the sun burn you alive
Nobody, nobody escapes (Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody)
Nobody, nobody escapes (Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody)
Nobody, nobody escapes (Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody)
Amen, hell yeah, Satan
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody escapes
[Outro]
Nobody, nobody, nobody
(Nobody, nobody, nobody)
(Nobody, nobody)
(Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody)
(Nobody, nobody, nobody)
(Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody)
(Nobody, nobody, nobody)

I love the happy/sad dichotomy, the seemingly saccharine mixed with the demented. The gift of songwriting is that you can really be hard on yourself in a gruesome way, and it works. It makes for a better song a lot of the time. Originally, this song was just too short-it was like a minute and a half...
