And a Dollar Short

Venting spleen on main. If you're on Elektronauts, you may have read an earlier version of this back in December. If you've had your fill of US Americans complaining about their government, feel free to skip this one

I'm tired of obvious allegories
I'm tired of borrowed nostalgia
I'm tired of artists having to baby-proof their work against paranoid readings
I'm tired of shitheads getting to speak with impunity
because who expects better from them?
I'm tired of my phone
I'm tired of all the waiter-snapping everywhere
I'm tired of getting cut off mid-sentence
I'm tired of not getting enough fucking sleep
I'm tired of drowning at work, too stupid to figure out how to swim
"By end of Q4, 40% of your time cards should be labeled #PoweredByAI"
I'm tired of fighting insurance for something that should have been paid three months ago
I'm tired of waiting for some other law to endanger my friends
my family
I'm tired of my taxes funding new and ever worsening cruelties
There is a row of rivets, on a B-52H Stratofortress, with my name on it
Why did I stop donating to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund?
I'm tired of my precious little A-B-A form
I'm tired of going back to the same patterns
I'm tired of emulation
I'm tired of the archive
Of predigested material
Of regurgitation
Melodic synths are sampled and manipulated performances from my Roland S-1. Drums are all M8 (sine kick, noise snare, hypersynth hats). Cicadas were recorded by my wife last year. Vocals recorded between 2 and 3 am
