Lalala

I spent all Thursday trying to write a happy song
Put it on TikTok, and had everybody sing along, and
Nothing political, nothing too cynical
Give the people what they want
(Give the people what they want)
And what they want is-
And what they want is-

A-B-C-D sounds so catchy
Ten things that they'd rather think about
All this yelling isn't selling much

World collapsing
Look how pretty it burns
Hide the fracture
We'll keep hoping it turns

Apathetic, so pathetic, but we're singing along
Just admit it, we'll forget it when we hear the anthem
If you're listening
Stick your fingers in your ears, let me hear you say

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

All the TERF wars and the sick laws
It's the new cause to take us back to 1984
The Supreme Court, send it through the back door
But nothing really matters 'cause

A-B-C-D sounds so catchy
Ten things that they'd rather think about
All this yelling isn't selling much

World collapsing
Look how pretty it burns
Hide the fracture
We'll keep hoping it turns

Apathetic, so pathetic, but we're singing along
Just admit, we'll forget it when we hear the anthem
If you're listening
Stick your fingers in your ears, let me hear you say

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Hide your boys and hide your girls
They're cutting off their pretty curls
And how could they forget to say
They're better off than yesterday?
They're better off than yesterday
They're better off than- (fuck it)

World collapsing
Look how pretty it burns
Hide the fracture
We'll keep hoping it turns

Apathetic, so pathetic, but we're singing along
Just admit, we'll forget it when we hear the anthem
If you're listening
Stick your fingers in your ears, let me hear you say

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
