Liner Notes

Very late entry to the skirmish that I wrote in like 30 mins yesterday and then didn’t have time to record.

How are y'all? I'm avoiding the news and becoming dangerously silly. (My government doesn't believe in trans people, but I don't believe in them ✅♟️)

Lyrics

You said "I don't believe in you"
Well I don't believe in you too
Money's fake and so is the law
I'm gonna do what I want from now on

Good vibes only, I'm not bypassing
I just stopped giving shits about fucked up things
You can set the world on fire
I’m gonna toast marshmallows on the funeral pyre

Ahhh we're going down
It's a rollercoaster
Ahhh let's scream real loud
And hold each other closer

Fascists hate silliness
So let's clown on those losers each chance we get
These guys want to be feared
So when you call 'em sad babies they get so scawwed

Meanwhile I'm gonna chill with my friends
And make weird art and eat things from their gardens
You can set the world on fire
We're gonna sing camp songs round your funeral pyre

Ahhh we're going down
It's wrecking ball day
Ahhh I love the sound
Of the building swaying
Ahhh it was a fucked up building anyway

It didn't comply with ADA regulations
(And it was racist)

Good vibes only, I'm not bypassing
I just stopped giving shits about fucked up things
You can set the world on fire
I'm gonna toast marshmallows on the funeral pyre

Good vibes cuz I love myself
And I'll keep dancing through each fresh hell
You can set the world on fire
I'm gonna sing camp songs round the funeral pyre

Believe it or not, the statue quo is up the tubes.
But your song is funny and well played.

@willow1 2w

Yup. Fascists hate accordions, ukeleles, silliness and sanity! This is brilliant, and you are an amazing musician of such profound depth and have an innate ability to tickle the funny bone in the most unique and thought provoking way. Flaming marshmallows are coming for you, fascists.

@bradbrubaker 2w

Can I song be cheery and angry at the same time??? I like the descending Ahhhs for the rollercoaster. Favorite line: "You can set the world on fire / I’m gonna toast marshmallows on the funeral pyre" Truly mad. Great tune.

@ryuu 2w

Heck yes. I feel like some things need to collapse so the rest of us can live.

@wurzelfrau 2w

I'll bring the marshmallows- what a fun song!

@kayo 2w

Hell yeah. This is delightful. Toasting marshmallows on the funeral pyre is a great image. Thanks for sharing this one!

@odilongreen 2w

There's a deeply rebellious, devil-may-care feeling to this that is deeply punk notwithstanding the tune tuneful, happy ukulele and vocal performance. Sometimes all one can do is laugh, and this delightfully unbowed feel-good track, maintaining joy in the face of everything that's wrong, is a powerful response indeed.

@becca 2w

This made me laugh!! especially this line...Good vibes only, I'm not bypassing, I just stopped giving shits about fucked up things... also I like the chords in the ...Ahhh we're going down... section. Fun song. Thanks!
