lyrics

Counterpoint to cult of vapid status:
I will stitch a small revolt against your slogan “nothing matters”
Thread and needle as assault
(from tatters cultures can emerge)
my happiness is in the process
not the purchase
in the process
not the purchase

Sew something
SEW SOMETHING!
Make something - break something - slow something!

Melodrama with a cheap attire
thrifting while preventing trauma
- stitch in time could start a fire
warm my hands of profits which the rich a trying to acquire
happiness is in the maker
not the buyer
in the maker
not the buyer

Sew something
SEW SOMETHING!
Make something - break something - grow something!
Sew something
SEW SOMETHING!
Hatch something - patch something - slow something!

Born and ensnared
you were torn and repaired

Haystack searcher
cut slack, suture
take back future
take back future

Love yourself
be patient
take the time
heal your wounds
you are not disposable
you are not replaceable
ask for help
don’t give up

about

GREAT JOY Amsterdam, Netherlands

Erratic-melodic catharsis, barbaric yawping and introspective wonk-punk: Great Joy goes bang-bang in spite of entropy.
