about
According to German Existentialist philosopher, Martin Heidegger, humans use distractions to think about anything besides our impending mortality. Sports, movies, books, gardening, etc.. We'll do anything to distract ourselves. To be (in his words) "authentic" we have to own each moment as it stands before us and accept what has happened (our past) and accept the non-being we will eventually become. This song is accepting that life sucks sometimes but about "owning" each moment and in this particular instance, "owning the moment through partying!"
lyrics
Monday comes and Tuesday goes,
Dishes suck and laundry blows.
I’d love to tell my boss to kiss my ass.
Wednesday’s here and then it’s gone,
My best friend’s passed out on the lawn,
And Thursday? Fuck Thursday!
Raise your glass to Friday,
When I can be all I can be,
I’m dying to party and I want a life that’s owned by me.
We only get one shot,
Somedays I don’t even wanna try.
Tonight’s our night to rock,
Life sucks, let’s live before we die.
My momma slaps me in my face,
My girlfriend puts me in my place,
Why didn’t anyone say it’d be this tough?
My minivan is in the shop,
Because I backed into a cop,
I’m flat broke, bored, and sitting on my duff.
As many times I’ve hurt my pride,
I just can’t stop this wicked side of me,
Because Mr. Hyde, that bastard, wants me back,
And I’ll get too inebriated,
Wake up again humiliated,
I’m just trying to have some fun,
Cut me some slack.
Sustained by seismic psych riffs, proggy shifts, and vivid sci-fi storytelling, these Milwaukee cosmonauts command respect. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2023
