lyrics:
yeah your boss forgot the payroll again
he's such a capitalist
don't even know what we spent it on
now you're selling your guitar to pay rent
i'm all over you
you're not in the mood
just playing it cool
drawing straws for the shortest fuse
held my hand over the stove
wanted to feel in control
some people learn from mistakes
but i just repeat mine over again
to see if something changes
it's so degrading
i'm all over you
you're not in the mood
just playing it cool
drawing straws for the shortest fuse
take what you can get
remain apathetic
never stick your neck out of line
live paycheque to paycheque
be safe and complacent
is this what you call "free enterprise?"
a slave to the man until we die
we do what we can to feel alive
i'm all over you
you're not in the mood
just playing it cool
drawing straws for the shortest fuse

Haunting and beautiful in the best damn way! Onward and upward swirling! ❤❤❤
I saw you in Winter Park last weekend. I want you to know that this was a huge deal for me. Among other defects (wink) I have severe CPTSD and suffer from non-epileptic seizures when I experience anxiety (it's rare, it's called PNES). Here's what a mess I am- my psychiatrist's office is right by PULSE. You gotta just laugh. I haven't been to a live show in well over a decade. I am trying hard to come back to life right now, and leaving my house has to be part of it. You were the ones who finally gave me the fight to get up and go. I went by myself and a very nice bartender read me and saw I was wobbly and gave me a chair to sit against the wall in the back. I did get up, though, and creep into edge of the crowd, for BWBB. You were so good and the energy was so great that I cried. A little. So, thanks. Your cassettes are always with me in my car these days, the only place outside of my house, until your show, where I have felt free.

With every new song release, Softcult does something music is supposed to do! ❤ This was everything I needed yesterday at the end of my day! Like every previous song, I also played it at least 20 times after hearing it at first and will play it for enormous number of times again. Thank You for being here and making this life bearable and worthy of living! 🙏🙏🙏 I Love You! ❤️ Both of You have such an amazing energy, and are spreading important messages throughout your art! Big love and support to you from Croatia! ❤️

@Stiv_Fox Who is a bot? Check their other videos. I've been a fan for a minute. This reminds me of something maybe Juliana Hatfield would have done. And her style is a sound I haven't heard since I was a teenager. So, I stand by my earlier, more concise statement. But I'm happy to explain myself further instead of being called a bot. These girls don't need bots, not when they're out here making music for people who've missed real alternative and shoegaze. What's the phrase? Real recognizes Real.

Your crazy "61" year old German fan here, just so impressed with you 2, your own style and innovative sounds are always so cutting edge, and your playing abilities are absolutely top notch 💪💪👏👏 ,My absolute favorite tunes of yours are a couple of older songs I have been checking out. the " Courage my Love " tunes .And my all time favorites are "Close " your Nick Jonas cover and "Another Bich" and "Birdsong " they are on my play every day list ,you ladies are just terrific and so damn talented you have a forever fan here. I may be old but I appreciate great music and talent. Keep Pushin on !!💪💪
Five reasons to comment on this video: 1. to push it through the recommendation algorithm 2. to compliment its amazing visuals and storytelling 3. to compliment its amazing music 4. to uphold its anti-capitalist lyrics (that more people need to be paying attention to) 5. to encourage Phoenix and Mercedes to do more!

Presumably you mean 'Softcult can do no wrong' or 'Softcult can't do any wrong'. Don't mean to be pedantic, but if it is not a typo then your message of praise followed by a condemnation is contradictory and therefore confusing.

True authentic heartfelt music is hard to come by these days. Not a song in your catalog I don’t feel deeply. IMO amazing blend of sliverchair/the cure inspo. Beautiful
Feels like a hole in my heart You can take my life to grow your band.

Beautiful song, another great softcult production, the drums, the voice, the guitars, everything generates a rhythm and beautiful melody, I love that gray tone in the production of the video, I barely finished listening to it and I'm already excited to listen to it again, I love his music :). Great song and great video, their music is great.

Got heavy Medicine's Time Baby III vibes. I loved that song when The Crow came out. It basically was an absolute must on sunny days. This caused similar feelings.
