about

This track was begun in the early spring of 2018 by Schultz. The song structure underwent significant changes including syncopation, addition of vocal harmonies, the extended outro when Schultz brought the song to other band members Scott Dabundo and Michael Rogers. Dabundo’s harmonies along with some moonlighting guitar work by Rogers in the outro.

lyrics

Ahh this sunburn’s peeling
Help me prepare for who I will become shortly
Static art; shock and stillness
Only one way I know how to revive a memory

We’ve got connections
Some sinister intentions
Watch you meddle in elections

Achy backs in our old apartment
Where feet were stained black by dust unsettling locomotion
Sixteenth street, someone yelling in the crosswalk
Reflections of my own eyes glaring back through my sunglasses

Oh we’ve got connections
Some sinister intentions
I watch you meddle in elections

They’re coming ‘round, that pesky sun
Some artisan uniforms
Iconoclastic warmth
And an espresso to-go
Run through your routine like a metronome
Wailing through your hands like a megaphone
All the Orwellian clones
That don’t know how to cope
I don’t know how to cope ...

They have the nerve to say
Well, what more could you want from a machine?
Like nothing’s out of the ordinary

We’ve got connections
Some sinister intentions
I watch you meddle in elections
Are you adjusting to the tension?
I can sense your apprehension
No, no not today!
