Lyrics
Verse 1
Quick to know what's right
And what's true
Knowing just what others
Ought to do
Sub Chorus
Blissfully unaware
Of things you never knew
Never wrong or too concerned
About regret or lessons learned
Chorus
No one is perfect
Stuff happens to everyone
Choices less helpful
Regrettable outcome
Far from immaculate
A regular schlub
Disqualified from membership
In the cancel culture club
Verse 2
What happens when it happens
And it's true
Wrong side of concensus
For you
Sub Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
Without justice
There's no other way
But public shaming
At least for today
Only slightly banished
Until someone new
Crosses the path
Of the cancel crew
Lead
Chorus

This has such a fun retro vibe! "Cancel culture club" is a catchy name, and fits well with the tongue-in-cheek attitude on display here. And nice work with the arrangement, all the different instruments sound great together!

Oh, you can never go wrong with a melodica! Your melodies are great but especially like where you take the bridges. Great upbeat vibe generally - cool song!

Great melodica and bass. Shrub/club. Nice. Great reggae feel.

A very nicely structured song. I like the way each section has a distinct sound.
