Liner Notes

This track uses an AI clip. It's done as a joke making fun of commercially driven art, but if you have a hard line, you have been warned.

Day 12, Song 2. I'm not moving at FAWM speed. I am slowly working up the skills I need for that #punk #musical I know is in me.

Lyrics

[INTERCOM] Intake Time!

[VERSE] My chart made it to the top of their stack Waived my recourse with a friendly ask. Settled billing up front to save some time "NONCOMPLIANT" added to my symptom line

Diagnosed quicker than a drive-thru order "Perverse cinema disorder" Treatment for this malady One pill, each day, just pay the fees

[PRE-CHORUS]

[Doctor] Chart says severe spike in anxiety

[NURSE] Good news - we've covered that trajectory!

[CHORUS] Schlock Therapy! My tracking's off a bit, I could use a small adjustment Schlock Therapy! There're pitching upsells, my body, their investment. Schlock Therapy! All I need is an hour of some therapeutic trash! Schlock Therapy is all I ask.

[INTERCOM] Wellness Hour!

[VERSE] Chart says I'm due for ongoing therapy bullshit fees disguised as a remedy Nurse holding up a cleanse kit tube "Rectal pressure-wash?, buy one get two"

Take a pill for sleep, take one when I'm wired A third for when my nerves get fried Fine print warns there’s a chance I snap If I decide to close my tab.

[PRE-CHORUS]

[DOCTOR] Good news son, you'll be ‘fine’

[NURSE] If you take this all the time.

[CHORUS] Schlock Therapy! They pitch meditation—charged to sit here all alone Schlock Therapy! My picture's a bit grainy but I still enjoy the show Schlock Therapy! Just need an hour of some therapeutic trash Schlock Therapy is all I ask.

[BRIDGE] Took my rubber-monster medicine and made it clean Tossed in all online behind a paywall screen A straight-to-streaming version with less debauchery It Might soothe some aching but it doesn't get me high

[OUTRO CHORUS - Corporate/Muzak SOUND] (Schlock Therapy!) The chart says you're ok to continue treatment. (Schlock Therapy!) Ask your doctor about financing if you need it. (Schlock Therapy!) Feel better, feel like you old self once again ...

[BREAK / MALFUNCTION] [HARD CUT: unplug/kill a line, deliberate buzz + feedback] [Deluge glitches: wrong scene, half-time stumble, “bad tracking” warble] [Band noise: instruments doing things they’re not supposed to do]

[INTERCOM] ATTENTION: SYMPTOMS ARE RETURNING. PATIENT STATUS: UNSTABLE. OBSERVED: GENRE FIXATION. OBSERVED: IMAGINATION SWELLING. OBSERVED: DELUSION OF AGENCY.

[DOCTOR] Nurse Wellness! do you know what this means?

PRESCRIPTION STRENGTH!

[NURSE] PRESCRIPTION STRENGTH!

[BUTTON / TAG] Schlock Therapy!

Wild song! So much going on in it. Very cool! Some really cool lyrics as well, and I like the change in pace that comes in towards the end - was unexpected

Really powerful sound, almost a wall of punky sound. Which is good for me. To take all the lyrics in, might need a few listens....some great production going on here too. Nice!

Its like listening to a whole series - the twists and turns - can i keep up. The music is so powerful - something Pixies about this - and the compliments dont get much bigger - i think it might be that droney guitar line

Ah man, you folks really cram a lot of ideas and other awesome stuff into so short a time. I want to see that musical for sure. Love those lyrics.
