Indie/stoner alt-rock pop of side-eyed optimistic realism. The tune’s message of ‘everything sucks, but I’m cool’ is driven by a vintage analog synth hook and rockin’ guitar.
lyrics
I get right back up, I'm okay
I'm for better times, built for better days
And today might suck, I don't care
I'm for better times, built for better days
Well I'm not one much for believing
But I'm still looking for a reason
I know that love must be the answer
But the question, no one remembers
I get right back up, I'm okay
I'm for better times, built for better days
And today might suck, I don't care
I'm for better times, built for better days
You know your thoughts are on the level
But then the facts are more on a bevel
The deck is stacked, the dice are weighted
So let the robots have their oasis
