GFTO Thoreau Lyrics by Walter Etc.

When The Band Breaks Up Again

2023

[sampled narration]
I mean
Get the fuck out, Henry
Just shut the-
Rather than love, than money, than fame
Give me truth

[Dustin]
Somewhere better off
Where young men don't just pass away on the sofa
A mother tries to describe
What happiness was

The first generation
Worse off than their parents
With pleasure pumped down the pipeline
Weird weather for the livestrеamed World War
Ignore
Rows and rows of tents along your spiritual journеy
A lady takes a dump outside outside the bookstore yelling
"We're all gonna die"

[sampled narration]
Rather than love, I mean-
Rath-
Get the-
Rather-
Get the- get the fuck out, Henry, chop chop now

[Dustin]
We don't need more songs about
Your metaphor stroking
'Time is a river' bullshit
We've got complications; systems to dismantle

Hell simulations
And post-growth economics
Our rivers are damned in drought or flooded
So, get the fuck out Thoreau

Your festering beliefs
Will eat away at you slowly
Young boys are dying in their thrones

Somebody do somethin'
(someone had to say it) say something
(the messenger of [?]) try anything
No one's gonna say that it's ok...
Someone (someone had to say it) do something
(the messenger of [?]) No one's gonna say that it's ok...

[sampled narration]
The worst is yet to come...

Not my backyard not my problem (not my backyard not my problem)

[sampled narration]
I hope you get eaten alive by the bear market
Sell or be sold
Cogs in the ether
Smothered in compounding, pointlessness
Com... pounding... pointlessness
