about
The latest single by Chinchilla Death Cult, recorded in separate houses during late 2020.
lyrics
Reaching out over time and space,
Who could be lonely with this virtual interface?
Both here and truly present,
Through broken screens made of tens and elevens,
In the bars and at the station,
They shuffle feet it's the 9 to 5 sensation,
It's your chance to escape from the rat-bag,
With your good looks and a new insta hashtag.
The space between us shrinks and expands,
But I'll give you three guesses who still owns the land,
Technologies of de-territorialisation,
Will keep 'em busy waving flags for the nation,
A million idiots are angrily snoozing,
They sleepwalk into action everybody's losing,
They'll come with talking points, and alt right hashtags,
Fast fashion chinos for the new nazi gladrags
And I said hey, Maria, it's getting weird in here,
Drinking Retsina won't make it disappear,
Look at you now you're a viral sensation,
The wrong things in the right combination,
Hey, Maria, you're living out a lie,
But that's what it takes these days just to stay alive,
It's still yourself, just with market potential,
Never needed to get sentimental.
