lyrics

Don’t share the wealth
You’ll share health
Keep ’em crawling, crawling further
Up the ladder, ’til the murder

All of those lines
Fine printed lines
Keep ’em happy not reading
All the bullshit that we’re feeding

Yes, you are
A star!
On a chart
In a machine heart

Lie after lie
Time after time
Make it look like we’re caring
Your objective: get them sharing

Big Data dumps
Subscriber bumps
We’re a business, not a pre-school
Just tell them what I told you

Yes, you are (Yes, you are)
A star! (You’re a star)
On a chart (On a chart)
In a machine heart

We need to spotify all of the artists
And shopify all of the guest lists
No need to amplify our reasons
When we can botify all of the people

Kick up upstairs
Like someone cares
What we do with all the money
Keep it close to, to you honey

Yes, you are (Yes, you are)
A star! (You’re a star)
On a chart (On a chart)
In a machine heart

We need to spotify all of the artists (We need to spotify!)
And shopify all of the guest lists (We need to shopify!)
No need to amplify our reasons (We need to amplify!)
When we can botify all of the people (We can botify!)

Ssshhh!

Don’t gimme truth
This is post-you
Swear I’ll cut off all the branches
Throw you back into the trenches

And there you’ll be
Just without me
Back to crawling, crawling further
Up the ladder, ’til you murder

about

The Fisherman & The Sea Helsinki, Finland

From Finland – a country that allegedly holds more metal bands than park rangers are able to rescue from their gothic photoshoots in the hinterlands, and where disoriented polar bears roam downtown shopping centres – hail singer-songwriter Jon Eden and his band. His roots also put him in Hamburg, Germany thus planting him somewhere in the Baltic Sea in compromise – hence the name of the band. ... more
