lyrics
(HOOK)
They treat us like we’re fucking brainless
At least we’re smart enough to know what we can Getaway with
There’s no difference between clocking in and living in cages
Im not a brand Im a man you can call me Jason (x2)
(Verse 1)
Don’t know how to write a love song or a club banger
I make observations to save myself from smug anger
Gotta get it off my chest or I’ll erupt later
Trading pep talks with my inner self for corrupt favors
We all find ways to adjust to new normals
Ignoring the true cost like “cool portal”
Hazmats on the dance floor never too formal
Beach bound til I spot a bloody pool of Dorsal’s
Pretending to be an adult is Mind melting fun
This world really wasn’t designed to help anyone
Gotta find a hack for every hack and try to get it done
detach from that passionless path and find a better one
There’s always a sale always a deal - don’t miss it
I finally understand why grown ups Go fishing NO KIDDING
no logos on my skin, no longer my religion
Don’t let some dumb ass control your decisions
(HOOK)
They treat us like we’re fucking brainless
At least we’re smart enough to know what we can Getaway with
There’s no difference between clocking in and living in cages
Im not a brand Im a man you can call me Jason (x2)
(Verse 2)
Its a process To process the problems we forage
I’ve got like 5 life times locked up storage
Like most chores we do our damnedest to ignore it
until enough’s enough and succumb to the forces
I’ve never fantasized the demise of my sources
But these guys at the top ain’t the priziest horses
Slowly but surely they grow to be more conformist
And Im all hands high
Anti corporate
I used to talk on the phone and loved it, so many discussions
Now I scream blood murder whenever it buzzes
Not sure what they did to us please get me off this substance
Here’s another pic of one of my favorite lunches
Lets Put a muzzle on these brand ambassadors
Fake travelers haven’t seen this massive earth
Love the bikini but can’t see me needing a catheter
Get your camera out, yeah Im pissing on your astro turf
(Bridge)
No one asked for 7 coffee shops on the same fucking block
But we got it everywhere
No one asked for 7 coffee shops on the same fucking block
But we got it everywhere
No one asked for 7 coffee shops on the same fucking block
But we got it everywhere - RIGHT HERE!

This Guitar Was Stolen Along With Years Of Our Lives
by Ceschisupported by 32 fans who also own “Brainless”
Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do. I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool. Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world.

Album of the year. In a fair and just world, they would be headlining festivals with this one. Big hooks. Vivid verses. Fingers-crossed, the instrumentals will get the vinyl treatment.

Eyedea: The Many Faces of Mikey
by Micheal Larsensupported by 23 fans who also own “Brainless”
I have been listening to variations of this album a long time. I remember I was living in a cardboard dumpster when some young guy was like yo dude it's gonna rain come crash on my couch. He played The Many Faces of Oliver Hart for me. I fell in love, I set my favorite track as Rain because we looped it when the rain came. That was one of the early acts of kindness I received in the nearly 20 years I've been homeless.
