lyrics

beginning of last year, i almost didn't worry
i did not fret and did not become a loner
set my hopes for the fall, cause after all, who knew
maybe it would just all be over
but my hopes were all crushed and it's worse than before
the numbers gone up, and i worry some more
and for a long time work will be anything but steady
so i have become what i didn't wanne be
a bit of a lockdown fattie

after all what's there to do except drink, eat and drink
when you sit around all day in those t shirts that stink
and you sit, eat and drink in those shirts that are smelly
sitting, eating and drinking just won't deflate that belly
and you proclaim it a highlight when you make muffins from bananas
and you proclaim it a highlight when you wear a bandana
and you do crazy things and you do them with passion
learn to live with yourself and let that be lesson
and for a long time work will be anything but steady
so i have become what i didn't wanne be
a bit of a lockdown fattie

i exploded a belt, yes it is a true story
but the belly's okay and no reason to worry
for tis lockdown season, tis the season of zero
contact with your friends, tis the season of heroes
heroes with bellies, bellies with heroes
heroes with bellies and bellies with heroes

heroes that don't go out to party with a lot of people every day
heroes that wear their fucking mask in the supermarket, above the nose
because it's not hard to do

let the apocalypse come, let the end times come
let the apocalypse come, let hunger crisis come
let the apocalypse come, let famine come
me and my belly are ready

The Black Elephant Band Nuremberg, Germany

„[...] 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
