Low Island - What Do You Stand For

Here come the tedious messengers
And the cynical scenesters
The money-eyed predators with bank-rolled dress codes
And matching socks
And gratuitous swearing
That makes you feel younger
Even though you’re getting older

They take drugs on the weekend
With dubious creditors
The cultural arbiters
With ham-fisted metaphors

Who are you?
And what do you stand for?

They say

“I’m not interested by the way, just wanna flex my irrelevance
And make sure you write a song about this it’ll look good in the PR
No one’ll buy it
But it’ll make you a star

Yeah no one’ll buy it”

Who are you?
And what do you stand for?

‘It’s all overpriced sportswear
Bumbags and cocaine
My political retweets
That keep my conscience ok
I’m a lover of all things new
I’m highly susceptible
I’ll pick up where you left off
And hang backstage at festivals
Hey and maybe when you get famous
You’ll move to LA
With a supermodel girlfriend
And all the other cliches
You can drink it all in, leave the bitterness behind
That’s just for the losers, the sad acts
Access denied
And once you’re in you can stay in
Warm under the sheets
With hot yoga and pot plants
An address book full of feats
Blah blah’s a creative genius you know, he’s highly reactive
And he’s done something with social media that’s completely cross generational’

Who are you?
And what do you stand for?
