Wake up! Rub your eyes Say hello to the new low-ping paradise The sunglare's a newfound fact of life in the land of Facebook and at-the-ready alibis I am where you are from The sun sets in the West and you're not done You wage thumb war, like when you were young You take cover in the comments where the battle's won. Come on Hear the kickdrum? Friend of mine You'd recognize him if you'd ever tried to cross a line Now, hearts fail. Call 'em sedentary. I say, fine You used to live but nobody now can find the time, so come and Get some! Heed the rhyme It's hardly worth the trouble if it's not online I'm one-click delivered I'd DDOS your liver if I were bottled but I'll settle for the sky They call me Internet. Built ground-up for war Declassified or decommissioned or something of the sort I saw my future sitting oh-so-pretty beyond the sword No pen grew mightier than the keyboard No, sir, no need to wait for nightfall. Start the morning pubcrawl Slide to unlock a smooth familiar alcohol You think it's you in charge? I'm your lieutenant at large You play tall, Sarge, yet you're never too on call to play ball Let's go!

about

The first single from my (eventually) forthcoming full-length album, Polandball is a violently funky deconstruction of Internet culture.

Includes the regular version, which is the one you want to listen to, and an easily-mixed Dancefloor Edit for DJ use.

Cheers,

Andrew

Wake up! Rub your eyes
Say hello to the new low-ping paradise
The sunglare's a newfound fact of life in the land of Facebook and at-the-ready alibis

I am where you are from
The sun sets in the West and you're not done
You wage thumb war, like when you were young
You take cover in the comments where the battle's won. Come on


Hear the kickdrum? Friend of mine
You'd recognize him if you'd ever tried to cross a line
Now, hearts fail. Call 'em sedentary. I say, fine
You used to live but nobody now can find the time, so come and

Get some! Heed the rhyme
It's hardly worth the trouble if it's not online
I'm one-click delivered
I'd DDOS your liver
if I were bottled but I'll settle for the sky

They call me Internet. Built ground-up for war
Declassified or decommissioned or something of the sort
I saw my future sitting oh-so-pretty beyond the sword
No pen grew mightier than the keyboard

No, sir, no need to wait for nightfall. Start the morning pubcrawl
Slide to unlock a smooth familiar alcohol
You think it's you in charge?
I'm your lieutenant at large
You play tall, Sarge, yet you're never too on call to play ball


Let's go!
Let's play polandball
You're all yearning to learn that the world large is small
You're all itching to listen to that siren call
to arms against the contrary so screen-enthralled, now

Get sold!
Let's play polandball
I'll play the butcher baker candlemaker shopping mall
You buy the blame just the same as the rest to fall
prey to my hearsay today
Polandball!


Let's play polandball
Let's play polandball


Living secondhand, hell of a hobby
now some would say that I'm their lemonade but I say, Wasabi:
The buzz you're craving fades a shade with every trip through my lobby
I got your drama playing Dollar to my laughing Mugabe

'Cause I could teach a thing or two of how to inflate
Nobody else could coach a fib to circumnavigate
quite the same. I'll game what the audience came for
You take your sweet time meeting next-door neighbours

Back to me. Yeah, I make life easy
I deep-learn to earn your time keeping it breezy
You didn't start the fire but you sure can put out
Tape your webcam, son. Benefit of the doubt

Died the minute God gave the world Incognito
And now you trust Google to mix your mojitos?
Heh. That's a good one
"Now, don't be evil", said the smith to the gun


Let's go!
Let's play polandball
You're all yearning to learn that the world large is small
You're all itching to listen to that siren call
to arms against the contrary so screen-enthralled, now

Get sold!
Let's play polandball
I'll play the butcher baker candlemaker shopping mall
You buy the blame just the same as the rest to fall
prey to my hearsay today

My friend, the world ends when good men get drowsy
You're speaking English? Then your country sold its soul to the Saudis
You're trigger-shy on the reply 'cause they're dropping your bombs
Amnesty's site don't get the traffic like reddit.com

So pin this post as sticky: it's too late for you, Ricky
You say you're working, tabbed out to Fallout Wiki
It's never tricky to sneak a sip from this mickey
Another open bar's patrons'd tend to get picky

Not you. Liquid diets of Twitter and Let's Plays
set the world spinning at the end of the day
