The crisp, laid back, stylish, gentle funk of this single by the Brooklyn artist comes in a clever contrast to the seriousness of subject – a divided America facing a Capitol skirmish scandal and difficult schisms to deal with and heal. With added orchestral strings, and with slight echoes of Steely Dan. From his forthcoming album Time To Melt on Fat Possum Records.
Living in America, we cut our drugs and hold for payday
Everybody got a gun, but no one seems to mind
The Capitol disgrace
Look out baby, there you go
Running away from the ones who held you down low
And we grew up with some fucked up kids
And now they're grown, and got no sense for humanity
How do I go on living through this ugly feeling
When I look outside the world is coming down
I see people getting by despite their weakness
And everybody knows what's coming 'round
Living in America, we tell ourselves almost anything but truth
We drive and we drive and we drivе and we drive and we drivе
'Til there's no one to step to
'Cause you're out there and I'm in here
Don't come knockin', I got my reasons
And that's what keeps us tied to a system that's all wrong
Incredible weakness
How do I go on living through this ugly feeling
When I look outside the world is coming down
I see people getting by despite their weakness
And everybody knows what's coming round
