about

'Dollar Sign' is a reflection of life in late stage capitalism. The inequities, the hypocrisy and absurdities of this system and how confusing that experience is. I hope it also reflects the attraction of materialism and the allure and hopeful opportunity promised. The duality of that experience is something I wanted to try and capture in the stream of consciousness lyrics. I hope it offers some sense of solidarity in this weird isolation we're currently navigating.

lyrics

Are you relevant, discontent, ignorant
hear the story of a youth obsession
having sex, sending texts, cigarettes. Grab a handle on my lethal weapon.
Smart phone, credit debt, subset
Reject all t.v stations
Killin’ it, no shame James dean.
When you know we on the blow no way.

Relief so hard to find
out of my mind (running out of time) all I see is dollar sign Dollar sign Dollar sign.
Head down stay on my grind out of my mind (running out of time)
all I see is dollar sign Dollar sign Dollar sign.

Faking it making it
Painkiller Swiss miss feminist blue jean baby
Big dreams bigger schemes
can’t buy peace from the mall your reality’s hazy
It’s a get jacked have impact pretence no regrets still depressed nation
The subtext is no give no gain
Selling off paradise mundane

Relief so hard to find
out of my mind (running out of time) all I see is dollar sign Dollar sign Dollar sign.
Head down stay on my grind out of my mind (running out of time)
all I see is dollar sign dollar sign dollar sign….

It’s all about the money you makin’
you fade you fadin’
it’s all about the money you makin’
You save you slavin’…

Relief so hard to find
out of my mind (running out of time) all I see is dollar sign Dollar sign Dollar sign.
Head down stay on my grind out of my mind (running out of time)
all I see is dollar sign Dollar sign Dollar sign.
It’s all about the money you makin’
you fade you fadin’
it’s all about the money you makin’
You save you slavin’
