lyrics

Simulacra & simulation
Our daily sun
Speculating on speculations
With no smoking gun
It’s so much fun

Seroquel and other pills
You get your fill
Trying to get some attention
You say you will you say you won’t
You do and then you don’t
Threaten annihilation

A Funeral parade of roses
All thumbing their noses
Getting played by AI lust
But don’t make a fuss
It’s unanimous

Seroquel and other pills
Yeah you get your fill
Trying to get some attention
You say you will you say you won’t
You do and then you don’t
But I’m not listening

The sun has set on the skittish empire of the “United” States
trying to make haste to eliminate each other
Meanwhile I’ll speculate on the spectacle of the great state
of our nation’s deep fake truth of a generation
That we’ve picked our poison
And it’s us

Take it in this state we’re in unoriginal sin
Fabricating fabrications increasingly numb
It’s so much fun

Seroquel and other pills
You get your fill
Trying to get some attention
You say you will you say you won’t
You do and then you don’t
Threaten self-mutilation

Seroquel and other pills
Yeah you get your fill
Trying to get some attention
You say you will you say you won’t
You do and then you don’t
But I’m not listening

This is one of the most exciting new records I've heard in a long while. Check Mandy, Indiana out, as well as all the other Fire Talk acts -- it's the best label in the game rn imo! Charm School
