This is a poem written by our drummer about a pretentious bongo player. He put it to a beat and played some chords under it.

lyrics

Check me out with my soul patch and agile hands
They flicker when I breathe
I am the embodiment of indie

I'm so underground I can't even feel my legs
Y'know, because they're melting in the Earth's core
You wouldn't understand
It's too underground
Like the Earth's core
That thing you don't understand

I would keep talking but my pencil thin moustache is weighing my lips down
All the way to the ground
Because pencil thin moustaches are underground

Also, I play the bongos
I'm in a twelve-piece band called Tears of Olympia
You've probably never heard of us
We're underground
You wouldn't understand, you capitalist pig
Have fun drowning in the mainstream

Check me out with my soul patch and agile hands
They flicker when I breathe
I am the embodiment of indie
