Simple Fix

Matt DeMello (himself) A total bop that doesn't so much capture the zeitgeist as much as iit throws in the towel trying to define it. Structurally, this might be prog by typical MF standards but shows a shift that Smoller is getting more comfortable with the alias as his main creative channel for the foreseeable.

lyrics

There is not a simple fix
We don’t know how
To keep the bugs away
You can bargain with a priest
Or board up the windows
It doesn’t really pay
I was sitting on the train
Counting the empty seats all around me
And I don’t mean to complain
But there’s something unreasonable
About being alone in this place

It only took the better part of a year
To find the time to hang all the art
And there’s a couple things we still need
To pick up from you know where

Pick up, pick up!
I feel like the only survivor
Of a zombie apocalypse
I move hurriedly through
The desolate cityscape
I barely still recognize

And it’s hard to find the point
Where the circus and serenity intersect
But we’re good at compromise
Boris Karloff is a personal friend of mine

There is not a simple fix
We don’t know how to keep the bugs away
Cabernet and politics
We’re settling down
And acting our age
There is not a simple fix
We don’t know how to keep the bugs away
Tagalongs (but only six)
Distributed evenly
To cap off the day
