Rothschild Surrealist Ball Lyrics by The Shackletons

Formerly the Albatross

2024

[Verse 1]
I was born at the Rothschild surrealist ball
Hit the marble flat like a sequin's fawn
And I'll probably bounce the first chance I get
This Halloween party for the one percent
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm the guy on the firing line
Who's shooting blanks - I just know it
And all these sad sacks think the same
They're keeping me on target
So how'd they lug that weight around?
[Verse 2]
I resent my own requests to fall in line
What makes you think it'd help to ask a second time?
I'm not enjoying the show but I'm enjoying myself
Stifling my laughter between my cries for help
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm the guy on the firing line
Who's shooting blanks - I just know it
And all these sad sacks think the same
They're keeping me on target
So how'd they lug that weight around?
[Chorus]
Not sure who I'd deem an idol
The snow that squeaks each step we take
Or snide comments about the old me shining through
When I evacuate to my new shell to create
[Chorus]
Not sure who I'd deem an idol
The snow that squeaks each step we take
Or snide comments about the old me shining through
When I evacuate to my new shell to create
When I evacuate to my new shell to create
When I evacuate to my new shell to create
[Outro]
I got bored of the Rothschild surrealist ball
