[Verse 1]
I heard the echoes appear
Bow down, view the crystal ball
Revolution coming for ya, dear, now
A new messiah appeared
Came down drinking vodka cordial
A nonevent with no reason for celebration now
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
There's no trouble there
(It's just another allegory)
"Wasn't it John Lennon who said—"
Fuck John Lennon, he is dead
It's read
It's being said
It's all up on the internet
Is something wrong? 'Cause this is rare
(Ba-ba-ba, b-b-b-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
This is rare
(Ba-ba-ba, b-b-b-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
This is rare
(Ba-ba-ba, b-b-b-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-b-b-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
[Verse 2]
I need my rain sounds to put me to sleep in all the commotion
Go nowhere, get harder, go nowhere
A liberator appeared
Swung in on a golden wrecking ball
Had a grin and a guide for how you can make it now
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
There's no trouble there
(It's just another allegory)
"Wasn't it John Lennon who said—"
Fuck John Lennon, he is dead
It's read
It's being said
It's all up on the internet
Is something wrong? 'Cause this is rare
(Ba-ba-ba, b-b-b-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
This is rare
(Ba-ba-ba, b-b-b-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
This is rare
(Ba-ba-ba, b-b-b-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-b-b-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-b-b-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
This is rare
(Ba-ba-ba, b-b-b-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-b-b-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
This is rare
(Ba-ba-ba, b-b-b-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba, b-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
