Pay No Mind 03:03
Said a penny aint worth the zinc it takes to press Now we flip the V-8 in figure eights figuring which right to make next Reminiscing on those good times Memories burn bright as the tip of a cigarette They say the dollars dropping go out and spend it now Every red cent counts Fight that good against the red threat coming to your town Get that good debt cadet stand up act proud Time to reinstate the great unifier And aint nothing like a world war to put the fire to your feet The tires hit the guard rail listen to the choir screech Grab everything in human reach Come and scab up the wound fair citizen And in this rare time of need extend a hand to immigrants Long as the credit's good and they don't want nothin Come and assimilate while the marketplace is buckling But once it's back to pax americana Pack up yo son baby back up yo daughter Get back across the border that there's an order Home of the xenophobe land of the slaughter But until that day it's all hands on deck Man we're taking on water it's a fight against the tide Fight against terror like the fight against time but it's online Bring yo wallet to the frontline and hold the perimeter All in together now Flickering images of Rosie the Riveter Except the labors coming cheaper from the prisoners So that's not quite applicable but you get the point These times are pivotal do what you gotta do Details omit able ethics forgettable Keep this place livable send the help to the roof Fix that leak man it's drippin on they suits They send the tax back in the checks they go buy And pay no mind Keep it rollin keep the factories open on time I see they drew that line There goes the great rally cry from the top of the valley An over romanticized plea Everybody pitch in, freedom costs a fee Holler caustically we need you But not as much as you need me

about

On this installment of Doomtree’s False Hopes series, Sims drops 10 tracks of new material to tide fans over until the release of his upcoming full-length. Production by Lazerbeak, Cecil Otter, Paper Tiger, P.O.S, MK Larada, Medium Zach, and Noam the Drummer.  

“He’s built his rep and repertoire around a fierce work ethic and a strong empathetic streak for the common man…The playful boasting expands his bootstrap persona nicely, and the whole disc whets the whistle for his forthcoming full-length.” –The Onion

about

Sims Minneapolis, Minnesota

Life and loss and dance parties. Sex and love and fractal math. Sims wrote More Than Ever last winter in the wake of some personally trying times: death and sickness in his immediate circle of friends and family. And he decided that the only acceptable answer to big loss is big joy—urgent, defiant, unapologetic joy. ... more
