You think you nailed the end of Act III, I can't wait for Act V

The painfully predictable denouement, performative schlock
Single moms to the front, we came here to rock
Tartuffe was written by Chris Hannah & David Guillas.
Tartuffe was produced by John Paul Peters & Propagandhi.
Propagandhi released Tartuffe on Fri Sep 29 2017.
There are references and, yes, it is influenced by his experiences starting out in the punk scene but it’s not specifically about that era of the band.
Chris has stated David (Beaver) wrote the music to this song, and him, the lyrics.
