Liner Notes

Weasel words is made out of phrases that obfuscate certainty.

This song is about a drug release that goes wrong. Except it's written from the public relations point of view.

This song started with an arpeggiated synth and grew with a deliberate, cheap keyboard feel.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some people say,
Best of the best,
It's somewhat true,
More or less.

Experts says,
In this report,
Its positive,
Life is short,

[chorus]
Everyone is saying,
No one disagrees,
It's relatively harmless,
More wood, and less trees,

With all due respect, now
No dog, no fleas,
It's maybe the cure,
But probably the disease!

[Verse 2]
Almost complete,
As good as done,
Any day,
Second to none,

You'll agree,
Everyone knows,
Truly groundbreaking,
As research shows...

[chorus]
Everybody is saying,
No one disagrees,
It's relatively harmless,
More wood, and less trees,

With all due respect now,
No dog, no fleas,
It's maybe the cure,
But probably the disease!

[Bridge dramatic]
And I'm standing in the church
And I'm waving my hand,
Do you own reasearch,
If you want to understand,
It stands to reason,
As most people know,
That as above,
So below.

[chorus]
Everybody is saying,
No one disagrees,
It's relatively harmless,
More wood, and less trees,

With all due respect, now
With no dog, no fleas,
It's maybe the cure,
But probably the disease!

[Chorus]
Everybody is saying,
No one disagrees,
It's relatively harmless,
More wood, and less trees,

With all due respect, now
With no dog, no fleas,
It's maybe the cure,
But probably the disease!

Cool and smart! Really strong lyrics - gets the message across with no wasted words. I'm liking the "cheap keyboard" vibe - it feels like a late-80s classic that has mutated in a disconcerting direction, which is spot on for the subject.
