Super Swag from Psychotic Wonderland by MonkeyCat

Super Swag," the lead track off MonkeyCat's debut album Psychotic Wonderland, serves as a bold declaration of the band's rebellious spirit. The song cuts through the hollow displays of wealth and privilege, highlighting how the rich and ignorant remain untouched by the world's injustices. With sharp, gritty lyrics and an infectious groove, it contrasts the carefree opulence of the elite with the dark, grim reality faced by the album’s protagonist, who finds himself still trapped in the struggle, metaphorically sleeping in a body bag. It's a scathing commentary on societal disparity, wrapped in a raw and energetic sonic package.

Lyrics

It was 2000 and stupid
And the world was exactly the same
and all the people had the very same names
and then something came rising up,
it came rising up
Super swag

And the days passed swiftly and stupid
and there was pain and death and war
but only for the poor
and underneath the flames nothing changed
Super swag

and the rains came falling down
and up rose the voices of the underground
nothing left to stoke
of the ashy embers of hope

and so it went from that day hence
for the wealthy and the stupid
and all their peasant friends
following the latest trends
futuristic, apocalyptic, contemporary modern drag
Super swag
