A carnival reggae splash on lazy language and social ineptitude follows in “Thank You So Much”. So many genuine emotions are hidden in self-defense, as a reaction to the onslaught of perceptual stimulation that modern society affords. It is easier to throw all nuance to the winds, and reserve your interactions to disingenuous fluff. Americans are uniquely insidious in their popular culture, social trends and ideals, which are at once dangerous, immensely palatable, and ruthless. America, the worldwide source of War and Entertainment for 241 years and counting!
lyrics
Americans are the trend setters
Witty memes and cute little sound bites
Innocuous cheap pop culture
Little crumbs of tasty delights
Americans have to be different
To proclaim their individuality
Man buns and pretentious fashions
But they all look the same to me!
They only thank you how they want to thank you
They only thank you so much
They can’t decide how they want to thank you
So they always thank you so much
Americans have to keep up appearances
Slacktivism and bumper stickers
Neck beards and post grunge hipsters
Fake lumberjack city slickers
Americans have to feel special
Baby names that scream inanity
Safe spaces and poor hurt feelings
Makes me question all humanity
Chorus
Americans are so very lazy
Indifferent smug passivity
A lackadaisical code of decorum
What the fuck happened to propriety
Americans have no sense of courtesy
You could be a waitress serving luncheon
And they’ll thank you exactly the same as
If you saved their family from certain destruction
