Convenience

Liner Notes
This was supposed to be for a skirmish, but the writing and recording ran WAY long and the demo was terrible so I set it aside and came back to it.
Lyrics
Anything you need
From wherever you are
No mountain is too high
No distance is to far
Everything you want
Just a click away
Do you think about the price you pay
It’s so easy when you’re able to look down
At somebody else to do the work
Someone to boss around
At your convenience
That’s why they’re there
For your convenience
Your only care
So nice to live At the top of the heap Taking everything that you can keep Get it quick and find out Nothing really lasts Burn through all the treasure just to build a pile of trash
Is this even living, when there’s nothing at the end No thought about the impact As we overextend
For the convenience Get it on demand So much convenience It’s out of hand
You can have two of the three
Low cost, speed, and quality
Bleeding out and sucking dry
For garbage piled up to the sky
At least it was convenient That’s why we pay It’s so convenient Piss it all away

This is THE protest song for the Temu/Amazon/AliExpress/TikTok/etc generation. Wow.
Ooh...this is so catchy and hard-charging...and, of course, the lyric really cuts to the core. It is out of hand! People used to have trouble getting stuff...now they have a hard time getting rid of it. Nice little solo, too
