This song is set in a dystopia where venues are shutting down , artists are forced to retire and people can't afford to go out .
You may have guessed that the year is 2024 and it's called 'Landfill Culture '
lyrics
The toon is deid , this city is deid
Mid-range, mid week , Am raging
The toon is deid, this city is deid
Have rage this week, am raging
More Polis than punters, where are the revellers?
There's a bam at central (muntered) repeating a mantra
He's murmuring something but I struggle with mumbling #
But as I tumble closer his words are engulfing me (He says)
The toon is deid, wnhy do we bother?
This city is deid why do we suffer?
This is not my first rodeo no this is my second
I've been here before and our surroundings have lessened
This place is getting worse
Does this city have a curse?
Dropped my wallet and her purse and I'm raging
I've done my time , I have earned my striped
But I don't want to die in no countryside
I have micro dosed, I have maxi dosed
I awoke up on the compost comatose
aw so close but just hit the post
with a smell of burnt toast
and he's feeling pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty post-punk Labrador pissin up the lampost
The toon is deid , this city is deid
Mid-range, mid week , Am raging
The toon is deid, this city is deid
With rage this week, am raging
And my battery's deid and the que is long
And the price is up and I don't know anyone (My wage is down)
I am raging, raging, raging
I am raging, raging, this place is getting worse
