LYRICS

climate change is coming to town
and there's gonna be hell toupet
now that is the thing that trump wears above his face
get it? a hell toupet
and every morning i gotta benchpress
one entire frenchpress
just to be fit for the day and all the news of decay -
i'd like to become a fucked up old man
so please greta and all the other smart kids out there
please make sure that i can

ELBOW ME!

the most random thing on this planet is a border
still we pretend that it's the natural order
i think it's a farce, people settling on mars,
the only thing stupider'd be settling on jupiter

ELBOW ME!

whenever i buy plastic and throw it away
whenever i drown the bad news in my drink
and start thinking that it is way too late
and all the worst thoughts i can think

ELBOW ME!

whenever i forget that i'm not alone
on this dripping ice cream cone
whenever i think one elbow's not enough
come by my house to push and shove
with a million elbow's tough love shove

ELBOW ME!

„[...] ungeschliffene, gestochen scharf auf den Punkt kommende, englischsprachige
Songminitaturen voll von schrägem Humor und bitterbösen Weltbetrachtungen, die schlecht
gestimmte Gitarre schnörkellos rudimentär, die Stimme ein wütendes Knurren, kaum ein Lied
länger als zweieinhalb Minuten. Wunderbar!“ (NN)

"Schräger Antifolk mit Bart, Klampfe und Mundharmonika. Zum Verlieben!" (A&F) ... more
