Everything's Fine! (w​/​Looptron)

from 9​/​40: Radical You! (vol​.​1) by Grant Sharkey

/

about

Recorded by Dan O'Farrell in his shed. Feb 2017.
With a cold...in the cold...so cold.

lyrics

My friends tonight we have nothing to fear
As long as we have fairylights, ukuleles, vegan snacks
White privilege...and beards.
I won’t dare to talk about politics,
I won’t get in your face.
For fear of losing a customer...for fear of losing a friend:
This is a safe space.

Whilst the world outside is getting out of hand
We will fight it by being quite bland.

We’ll pretend we live in soft focus, everything is great,
Like we live in an advert for a bank account
Or posh cinema chain.

While the global temperatures continue to rise
We’ll die singing: ‘Everything’s fine!’

Butterflies and rainbows and unicorns
Will save us, alright!
I wouldn’t dare to say something meaningful
And ruin your night
As the darkness of lies from the mad men continues to fall
I’ll sing: doo-doo-doo, everything’s fine!
And say nothing at all.

I’ll sing: doo-doo-doo, everything’s fine!
And say nothing at all.
