about

We started writing this song right after the impeachment fiasco. And for a hot minute, we forgot about all the reasons we were rightfully enraged at the current administration. Then COVID hit and we knew we had to finish the song. It was the thing that got me off the couch and out of fits of despair at the current state of our world. We hope you enjoy it. It's a call to all of us as creatives. What do we do when they bring us down? We make slow grooves.

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.
