about

A song about being stuck on a desert island and/or rich people who don't care about you.

lyrics

“Who Needs Em?”

You can build a community
you can build a prison
you can build up an immunity
you can build upon a vision
walls keep things inside safe
they keep out what is different
any room can become a grave
some pre-pay and say it’s money well spent

on a desert island you’ll adapt you learn to swim and about yourself
maybe even forget you’re trapped all the money in the world couldn’t help
so you build a raft in float alone
drink seawater in the hot sun
start to laugh as your stomach groans
and you’re ready to become the ocean

suddenly bump into a wall excitedly you start to shout
you think you’re saved but you’re not at all this walls intended to keep you out
on the other side the people say that they value freedom
on this side people starve sun poisoned
who needs em?
