Pigs

from The Trunk by olmo

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Impossible to box, this nine track body of work is an impressively unique record that will stay with you, long after you’ve finished listening to it.

    “My music is about creating a temporary dream space that people can escape into. It’s a safe place where complex issues are sweetened up and turned into these little ear worms.”
    Bearing an escape route from the trials of daily life, the world through Olmo’s music is much more palatable, even when he’s tackling the heaviest of issues.

lyrics

you don’t have to tune in to the live stream from space
to notice the world turning round the wrong way
it’s written on the tin
it’s celebrated showmanship - ‘watch this! watch this!’
hypnosis is easier
with weapons of mass media

the landscape is littered with
ego manic neo fascist pigs
no offence to all the pigs
you’re such intelligent creatures

the suits are so spoilt they spill oil into their pockets
the ocean’s on the brink but they’ve got a thing for rockets
a kink that must come from being brought up starved of love - ‘my love! my love!’
‘force feeding powerlessness’
they told the press is ‘better than sex’

the landscape is littered with
ego manic neo fascist pigs
no offence to all the pigs
you’re such intelligent creatures

is it the general election or
the election of the general?
also what’s with all the walls?
are they to hang up your picture?

if it’s crooked then gently tilt the foundation
ignorance in the age of information
fear has never failed to throw one into jail alone - ‘your honour! your honour!’
the sentence after years of trial
is to spend your life in denial

the landscape is littered with
ego manic neo fascist pigs
no offence to all the pigs
you’re such intelligent creatures

is it the general election or
the election of the general?
but every empire has its fall
and i’m itching for the future
