When I was young, some older people seemed so cruel
The games they played had such infuriating rules
But the youth would make things better when we came of age
I overestimated rage
Don’t get me wrong, our rights have overall increased
But growing, too, has been a retrogressive beast
And the monster’s made of ordinary folks who long
For those old rules that did us wrong
I hear their praise for the bad old days
They long to be free of you and me while the world decays
Their perfect future’s a homogenous display
It only works if the exceptions go away
So if being who you are is likely to disrupt
Get ready to be rounded up
I hear their praise for the bad old days
They long to be free of you and me while the world decays
I’m with you and I hope that you’re with me
Small fish in need of solidarity
The fash are out there getting jacked
I hope some of my allies are inclined to punch back!
They say their enemies are weak, but also strong
They say it’s obvious which people should belong
And the rest of us can serve them if we just behave
And thank them for the crumbs they gave
But if being who you are is likely to disrupt
Get ready to be rounded up
We hear their praise for the bad old days
They long to be free of you and me while the world decays
We hear their praise for the bad old days
‘Cause you and me are accursed anomalies to be erased
When I wrote these songs, I didn’t have a band. I invited every musician I could think of to come learn them for a show in three weeks, and we ended up making a record! Day Dreems
Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2023
