about

Despite Greta’s canonisation by the World Economic Forum. There is an ecological crisis, it's just being repackaged and sold back to us as junk food and abstract metrics. In the spring of 2019 Norfolk County Council sprayed off the road verges of the A11 and A47 from here to Norwich. All our homies were gutted and enraged. This song started there, aided by a gifted classical acoustic that the motif was discovered on. Another lament. The tender and fragile melody goes large, feedback howls as the song concludes, while the melody always holds it's own. “We’ve been drinking pop!”

lyrics

Killing Trees
We’ve been killing trees, making refugees.
Spreading our dis-ease, shattering the peace.
The toxins in our dreams are poisoning the streams.
Endless petty schemes are the bitter ends of our means.

We’ve been killing fields, for the sake of yields.
Silencing the spring, cold hearts they do their thing.
We’ve been burning trash, making cash from the ash.
Taste this bitter dust. That’s the backlash

Money does not care for sickness or despair.
You just can’t get away from death and decay.

We’ve been sinking boats of those with nowhere to go.
Dead fish go with the flow. It’s the end of the show.
The dying coral reefs are in the oceans of our grief.
I thought we’d be here forever, but this beauty is far too brief.

I sunk the dirty depths, with the weight of regret.
I soared sickening heights in manic flight.
Money does not care for sickness or despair.
You just can’t get away from death and decay.

We’ve been drinking Pop, As if junk is all we’ve got.
This sugar coated top, it’s the depth of the plot.
It’s the depth of the plot. Is it all that we’ve got?
