about

A remake of Midnight City by M83
Inspired by Big Juice
Just watch us wither
Not with a bang
But with a whimper

lyrics

Mid-day pity
You can get better
You can wit her

We ‘Yell-O!’, just like a rebel
No need for Red Bulls, instead we rebel
The ‘e’ is upside down ‘cause we cast our crown
The economy is backwards and twisted now
The president wears a crooked frown
He knows the truth; like make up on a clown
Make up new facts, because the old facts relaxed
They got too relevant yet we try to stay relevant
So what are the schools tellin’ it?
Tell us we are tellin it instead of just sellin’ it to sell it
Now we bargain for beats instead of being hard workers
Work hard for that paper if the paper’s worth it
It's not worth less unless you think it is worthless - perfect
We deserve it but first let’s work hard to get it
We can rise together ‘cause we won't regret it
I bet it. Yes I said it but I'll say it again
You missed it the first time my friend

Lying through their teeth
Choking you to breath
Still, we believe
The youth, they want to reach

Mid-day pity
Mid-day pity
Mid-day pity
You can get better
You can wit her

The system is a system and you just apart
But we were designed sanctified to be a part
Walking brightly in the dark about to spark
At the sight of a lost soul with frozen heart
What's the aim if we're always playing games?
Head down in shame ashamed to say his name
It's Jesus the Messiah the Christ of our time
A New Age is coming like a punch to a rhyme
A punch to a line a beat to a rhyme drop another dime
Companies pay to eat up competition
And help consumers consume
Look at the gloom advertisement in every room
Every since the womb images increase impulse to buy two
More than just one ‘cause one can be fun
But one is never enough gotta be two to ‘get’r’done’

Lying through their teeth
Choking you to breath
Still, we believe
The youth, they want to reach

Mid-day pity
Mid-day pity
Mid-day pity
You can get better
You can wit her
