about

Amazingly enough this song was written well before The Donald assumed control.I had imagined a world where the President courted corporate sponsorship, and whoever paid the big bucks got to name the country for that term.

lyrics

McDonaldland

Hey wow, it’s such a tasty kind of madness
That draws us on through those
Arches, golden glowing
And it’s said, by the wise and kindly prophets
That you can’t outrun the sun
(but if you could then time would stop, and you’d be bored completely,
nothing changing, nothing growing, nothing living, nothing dying)

Attention s'il vous plaît!
Liberté, égalité, yeah!

I wanna be your chauffeur! I wanna take you over!
I’ll set you free McDonaldland!
I wanna pay your pension! I wanna ease your tension!
I’ll heal the wound McDonaldland!

Because hope, it’s such a funny kind of feeling
When you had all you can take of all their
“You have no bread, but we’ll let you eat cake!”
Hey, wow! But that guillotine sure swings,
When those heads go rolling
(and if they ever said the past was dead they never read the writing
on the wall before the saw the gilded curtain fall upon them)

Attention s'il vous plaît!
Liberté, égalité, yeah!

I wanna be your chauffeur! I wanna take you over!
I’ll set you free McDonaldland!
I wanna pay your pension! I wanna ease your tension!
I’ll heal the wound McDonaldland!

I wanna be your Captain! I wanna make it happen!
I’ll set you free, McDonaldland!
I wanna do it today! I wanna fuck your pain away!
I’ll heal the wound McDonaldland!
I’ll set you free!
McDonald
Land.

about

The Psychic Alliance Vancouver, British Columbia

The less you know about this band, the better. Rumor has it that they're very bad people, paranoid, misanthropic, frequently given to melancholy and intellectual dullards to boot. Stories of vicious infighting and naughtiness follow them like a black cloud, and the threat of immediate collapse is constant. Fortunately they look cool. ... more
