about

“The inspiration for this song struck during a post-pandemic tour with Broken Social Scene in the US, a place I hadn't visited in a while. I saw some dark shit. The song is from the perspective of the darkness taking hold of people, but the punchline, which I only say once, is 'LET'S GO SURFIN' IN THE USA,' a nod towards the good that's still left. The tune captures this contrast, acknowledging the challenges while celebrating the inherent goodness and beauty. It's a reminder to focus on the positives amid the new darkness."

lyrics

Lyrics

I see the future son
Jesus holds the bloody gun
Give me drugs and legal sex
Take the only tree that's left

I'm a sicko boy

I see children slaves
I see nothing left to kill
Give me back vanilla sex
Kill the only freak that's left

I'm a sicko boy

I want my mind invaded
No need to be persuaded
I need pills to keep me sane
LETS GO SURFIN IN THE USA

Im a sicko boy
