This is a soft, ukulele led, baroque pop song about the futility of life in patriarchal, capitalist society. It's kitchen sink surrealism, or like a smiths song but if Amanda Palmer wrote it..
lyrics
Oh it's been so long since they turned away
They got so used to saying no
You met that pretty girl and she earned her stay
She said she'd love you long ago
I guess I'll keep on trying
Until I'm sick of lying
You've got a new car, and you bought a new house
And everybody likes you now, everyone likes you
And you're over the crowd, it's their problem now
And everybody likes you now
Everyone likes you
And now you sit and while the hours away
You've made a lot of happy men
So dull you can't be bothered day to day
You simply do the best you can
I guess I'll keep on trying
Until I'm sick of lying
You've got a new car, and you bought a new house
And everybody likes you now, everyone likes you
And you're over the crowd, it's their problem now
And everybody likes you now
Everyone likes you

Lo-fi indie that recalls the glory days of Shrimper and Shimmy Disc, where rock-solid melodies sit inside rickety instrumentation. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 5, 2022
The songs on the latest from Worriers hurtle forward breathlessly, with hook after hook topped by scorching vocal melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 16, 2023
