Cheekface tweeted that this song is about “solipsism in the face of a big, big catastrphe. [A]rguably, making music at this time is that.”
Greg Katz noted that this track began in early 2019. He’d been listening to a lot of Minutemen, and drew inspiration from the “monologue/ spoken word poem vibe...
[Verse 1]
I want to overthrow the government!
Or at least the bad part
Remember when you thought the whole world would collapse at your feet?
Well, it turns out the whole world will collapse, but that's the result of a costly mistake
Human trash everywhere! Tastes like excessive
Plastic
Man it's a hot one, and everything is on fire
Let's see what chaos visited humanity today, while I walked on a wire
[Chorus]
The climate changed and I left it on read
(La la la)
The bees died off and I left it on read
(La la la)
They don't recycle your Sprite bottles any more
(La la la)
Don't need a weatherman to know
[Verse 2]
Standing on an X:
The X where you'll watch the sun set on mankind
The exploded Spaghetti-O's on the microwave window
Of the sky
Life itself is a pre-existing condition
An original composition, a limited edition
An invitation to return to the destination
Let's see what chaos visited humanity today while I was on vacation
[Chorus]
The climate changed and I left it on read
(La la la)
The bees died off and I left it on read
(La la la)
They don't recycle your Sprite bottles any more
(La la la)
Don't need a weatherman to know
Nations collapsed and I left it on read
(La la la)
Peak oil and gas and I left it on read
(La la la)
They don't recycle your Zoloft bottles any more
(La la la)
Don't need a weatherman to know
