This is probably one of the weirder Old Man Wizard songs, not because it's especially weird as a song, but because it doesn't really sound like Old Man Wizard to my ear. This song was really heavily inspired by a few Japanese and South Korean pop groups, garage rock, and recognizing that the result of that inevitably sounds a bit like pop punk, so intentionally avoiding pop punk style drums or vocals. I think the result sounds like a low budget demo of The Strokes covering a Twice song. I think the lyrics are pretty straightforward; The song is about hypocrisy, abuse of power, and conflation of morality and religious belief. This is probably the last thing anyone expected us to release, but I hope you like it anyway!
Lyrics:
Tell me what you
Tell me what you do at night
Tell me what you think I think of you
Aren’t you afraid
Why aren’t you afraid of me
Why aren’t you afraid I’ll find out what you do
I’m watching you
When you look at yourself
Do you see someone else
Representing you
Telling you what you do
When you look at death’s face
Hope you appreciate
The punishment that you face
Knowing that God is fake
How do you look
How do you look at yourself
How do you look at yourself in the mirror every day
I wanna know
I wanna know what you believe
I wanna know how often you cry yourself to sleep
You count on sheep
When you look at yourself
Do you see someone else
Representing you
Telling you what you do
When you look at death’s face
Hope you appreciate
The punishment that you face
Knowing that God is fake
Every time you say His name
You should be ashamed
You’re not someone else
You’re responsible for yourself
And when you say those words
And tell them what you heard
That wasn’t someone else
That’s something you decided to say yourself
