about

We wrote this song in response to the Senate Impeachment fiasco. The song became more urgent once COVID-19 hit. This is our call to all artists. "What do we do when they bring us down? We make slow grooves."

We will be donating a portion of the proceeds for this song to political campaigns we deem to be essential to restoring a sense of checks and balances to our democracy. The more generous you are with what you pay us, the more we can support these candidates.

Currently we are aiming to support the campaigns of Amy McGrath in Kentucky and Mark Kelly in Arizona.

lyrics

What do we do whey they bring us down?
What do we do when they bring us down?
We make slow grooves. We make slow grooves.

Oh say can see where democracy’s gone?
Stolen by the hands of the 51.
It’s a slow coup. It’s a slow coup.

Seja Bolsonaro or 45
Fascismo continua muito much alive.
O povo oprimido já tá sabendo dessa história.
Same ish different day nessa longa história.

Lava Jato, Petrobras, or even Stupid Watergate
O Povo exigindo que á justiça can’t wait.
O que que você vai fazer quando cai democracia?
Fique lá na praia tomando cervejinha?

That’s the sound of the shredding of the constitution
Tell me is time for a new solution?
It’s a slow coup. It’s a slow coup.

What do we do whey they bring us down?
What do we do when they bring us down?
We make slow grooves. It’s a slow coup.
