EAT MY SHORTS DANIEL EK

lyrics

Held hostage by circumstance
Wrong place, wrong time
You can call it chance
I'll cross my fingers for you
I'll do that song and dance

This one's for the head-bobbers
For the heartthrobs
For anyone who's ever really loved something

Held hostage to pay the rent
Give it up, cough it up
Until the money is spent
And then next month, we'll do this all again

This one's for the beautiful
For the ignorant
For anyone who's ever been afraid of something

Held hostage at your place of employment
What time is it?
It's time for work-
Not time for enjoyment
They'll make you pay to park
Can you believe that shit?

This one's for the part-timers
For the adjuncts
For anyone who doesn't know what's next

Held hostage by an institution
No benefits package
No 401(k) contribution
And at the end
When you're thrown out with your rotten constitution
They'll say thank you
Thank you very much

The duo’s eponymous second LP, released in 2019, is a blend of freaky art-rock, Arabic music, and funk grooves. Moloq continues to push the notion of pop accessibility across VPNs worldwide with their newest video project IT'S PRONOUNCED "MOLOQ." ... more
