about

This song probably needs an explanation. The gorilla hero costume is a baby costume that Ian found on Amazon. It has bullet holes in its chest and it comes with a doll, in obvious reference to Harambe, the gorilla that tried to save a baby and got shot and eventually turned into a meme. This song was written last year, back when Harambe was still relevant and Chase was recovering from a concussion and a broken foot.

People will try to make a profit off of anything these days.

lyrics

13 narcos coming around the bend 
Don't take them all that’s not very zen 
They don’t want hear about my shattered foot
Don’t want hear about the concussions so shut up 
Doctor said you’ve been in bed for three years
It's time to be realistic with your peers 
But fuck em what do I owe them anyway
When’s last time you sent a postcard or tried to say

You’re a special snowflake
People will make a profit off of anything these days
Put the baby in gorilla hero suit
Oh isn’t he so cute

20 coppers to make amends 
for things I’ve said inspired by books I read 
troubadours were no better than politics and corporations
that take advantage of all your personal feelings
