lyrics

Chorus:
La, la, la, la [x6]
La, la, la, la [x6]

Verse 1:
Yo, welcome to the future, a carnival of gloss
Needs cheap, inch-deep, now we’re drowning in dross
And the scaffolding’s paperclips and papier-mâché
In the mezzanine, Philistines are leaning on the balustrade
Over the horizon a Seldon Crisis looms
The Mule is licking his lips — Lady Liberty, her wounds
And the prescient appeal to prayer wheels for intercession
As the lemmings live 32 feet per second per second
With foam fingers rising, they're saluting Martin Luther
While the 95 theses are rewritten by Dunning-Kruger
Eucharist on clearance; Mercury in retrograde
The Betty Ford Clinic has moved to The Hague
We shoot black tar dopamine; Alekhine’s opening
A trojan in the saddle with lotus eaters prattling
Battle for sport, then the pending divorce
Yeah, my theory’s got warts; I’m just preaching to the chorus

Chorus:
La, la, la, la [x6]

Verse 2:
Let’s bathe in these tribal waves washing over fallacies
Retention of attention is the only rationale we need
Glad to see we have the need to keep grabbing these
Rectangles of anger under blue screen canopies, yeah
Flip the fader back and forth rapidly
Props got us spinning tales/tails like boats over manatees
We absently don’t look up and don’t happen to see
A sword of Damacles hanging over humanity
Uh, we head toward our corners to attack
Inventing schemes that can transport us to the back
A time machine that moves man forward to the past
And inexorably lands with Morlocks; it’s a wrap cause
You phony; I’m euphonious; Ro is so melodious
The holiest is lowly and yet you show acrimony
From the Fall to Falwell, the blame isn’t mine
Standing in my glass house with a plank in the eye

Chorus:
La, la, la, la [x6]

Verse 3:
2020 got me peeping like I'm an owl or an eagle
Sights primeval; day and night all the perfect people
Regal, the green curtain that hides the villain
Best check yourself like you're Herbert Snellen
That E on the chart — it don't stand for emulate
Like light from stars a million light years away
Shine bright; take heart; your part may be to start
Or to pick up the ball and to carry it farther
The sky is falling while their stocks still booming
A reverse Isaac Newton, so appealing to chew on
One bad apple has started this ruin but me and you
Can restore the core with this tea I'm brewing
Diversity is an honor, not for eradication
The puzzle pieces fit cause they're not all the same and
Rejoice in the presence of even those who are late yeah
They might be that T-Rex last minute savior

Chorus
La, la, la, la [x6]
La, la, la, la [x6]
