lyrics

expect a long delay
in line on judgment day
I'd try to help but I have to work an extra shift
so I braved the boring dawn
and we all got omicron
and no one cares, but they'll live to regret it
when we mass quit

we're communists in luxury
whether we know it or not
we all inherited compressed ideals
that don't make any sense
now we can live it up
becoming communists in luxury
demanding better in the actual/material
you waste our money on the metaverse
we build a cultural time bomb

our friend was acting weird
one day she disappeared
locked her account, said goodbye, and made one last post
it read: "DEAR SUBCOMMITTEE BOSS
WE ARE AN ALBATROSS
AND YOU'RE A NECK
WE'RE A DEAD BIRD SCREAMING
THAT YOU'RE A PSYOP

a tide of communists in luxury
is washing over every hedonistic holdout
our lack of certainty is no excuse
for nihilistic dread
demand utopia
committed communists in luxury
no one imagined we'd be winners in the long run
but a wave of communists in luxury's
a realistic threat

I called that friend from back home
when she answered the phone, she said:
"IS OUR FEAR OVERBLOWN
SHINING FLASHLIGHTS AT DRONES
AS THEY CIRCLE OVERHEAD?
WE DESCEND FROM A LINE OF HUMANISTS.
WE REJECT THE DECLINE
BUT WE NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS.
DO YOU KNOW GOD IS LOVE
AND THAT MARKET RISK
IS BEST MINIMIZED
ON A COMMUNAL SCALE?
THEN YOU'RE A COMMUNIST."

they call us communists in luxury
and I guess they're right
we're communists in luxury
and I hope it makes our offspring proud
that we were communists in luxury
no one can say that they're a winner
until we've all won
and we're all communists in luxury
no CCP
QUIT
