lyrics:
yeah your boss forgot the payroll again
he's such a capitalist
don't even know what we spent it on
now you're selling your guitar to pay rent
i'm all over you
you're not in the mood
just playing it cool
drawing straws for the shortest fuse
held my hand over the stove
wanted to feel in control
some people learn from mistakes
but i just repeat mine over again
to see if something changes
it's so degrading
i'm all over you
you're not in the mood
just playing it cool
drawing straws for the shortest fuse
take what you can get
remain apathetic
never stick your neck out of line
live paycheque to paycheque
be safe and complacent
is this what you call "free enterprise?"
a slave to the man until we die
we do what we can to feel alive
i'm all over you
you're not in the mood
just playing it cool
drawing straws for the shortest fuse

thanks for being here 🖤🖤
Thank you for providing us with another great song and video 😎
I love you ❤
love you all!♡
I love you too 💖
Спасибо что ты есть в моей жизни, my hero❤
In a short time, Softcult has become one of my favorite bands.
aw thanks so much
God this vibe is so fucking good
IKR
It's a zone
Their songs always make me feel like a main character, 🙏
so true!
hell ya
Yes!! 🤘🖤💯
Yall don't ever miss, but there's something about this one that got to me. It's like a sound I haven't heard in ages.
ah glad you enjoy
Вот вот!! И я о том же😅
@Stiv_Fox Who is a bot? Check their other videos. I've been a fan for a minute. This reminds me of something maybe Juliana Hatfield would have done. And her style is a sound I haven't heard since I was a teenager. So, I stand by my earlier, more concise statement. But I'm happy to explain myself further instead of being called a bot. These girls don't need bots, not when they're out here making music for people who've missed real alternative and shoegaze. What's the phrase? Real recognizes Real.
@@palazzo1113 dont bot😂😂😂 its russian language world!!))) "вот-вот"))))) ахах😂 вот вот = it it😁
@@Stive_Fox OHHHHH, I'm sorry, haha. I'm afraid I can be very stupid sometimes.
Just found this band, loving the sound. Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾 ❤
they got old music and new music vibe in their songs which was really great
This instantly make my Top 3 favorite Softcult songs 🙌
With “Spit It Out” and “Take It Off”
wow thanks!
Absolutely in love with their fusion of fuzzy and ethereal sounds. They keep delivering quality tunes. Awesome band!
hopefully
Five reasons to comment on this video:
1. to push it through the recommendation algorithm
2. to compliment its amazing visuals and storytelling
3. to compliment its amazing music
4. to uphold its anti-capitalist lyrics (that more people need to be paying attention to)
5. to encourage Phoenix and Mercedes to do more!
Right on!
Perfect!
@@rafaelpinto2455 @sk8bum64 Glad you agree! Thanks to anyone else who does too!
👍
There's not enough words of praise that can highlight this song's greatness. As the shortest fuse keeps the fire of Softcult burning so elegantly!! 🖤🖤
eloquently said
@@Softcultband You're welcome!
Haunting and beautiful in the best damn way! Onward and upward swirling!
❤❤❤
I’m speechless….this creates an indescribable familiarity that I can’t get enough of.. love it!
I found Softcult looking at upcoming concerts. Description sounded interesting so I played a few videos. With only hearing this and Haunting I bought a ticket to see you in July.
wow thank you so much!! which show are you coming to? we’ll see ya then!
I just found them today and am buying tickets! So good
oooo , Type O Negative sound!!! cool!
They simply never miss. Signwriting & visuals are just worlds ahead.
Love live the cult!
thank you so much
I saw you in Winter Park last weekend. I want you to know that this was a huge deal for me. Among other defects (wink) I have severe CPTSD and suffer from non-epileptic seizures when I experience anxiety (it's rare, it's called PNES). Here's what a mess I am- my psychiatrist's office is right by PULSE. You gotta just laugh. I haven't been to a live show in well over a decade. I am trying hard to come back to life right now, and leaving my house has to be part of it. You were the ones who finally gave me the fight to get up and go. I went by myself and a very nice bartender read me and saw I was wobbly and gave me a chair to sit against the wall in the back. I did get up, though, and creep into edge of the crowd, for BWBB. You were so good and the energy was so great that I cried. A little. So, thanks. Your cassettes are always with me in my car these days, the only place outside of my house, until your show, where I have felt free.
It took an incredible amount of bravery to post this, and from stranger to stranger, Im so proud of you! Music is the great healer
@@Eyeshadow11 So I'm not invisible after all. Although I sometimes wish it was my superpower. Thank you so much for seeing me and for your comment. It does a lot for me.
Proud of you. And proud of the bartender, too. Humanity still around.
With every new song release, Softcult does something music is supposed to do! ❤ This was everything I needed yesterday at the end of my day! Like every previous song, I also played it at least 20 times after hearing it at first and will play it for enormous number of times again. Thank You for being here and making this life bearable and worthy of living! 🙏🙏🙏 I Love You! ❤️ Both of You have such an amazing energy, and are spreading important messages throughout your art! Big love and support to you from Croatia! ❤️
darling wake up, softcult released another heavenly song!!

Heck yeah! Keep cranking out these great singles 🖤
My obsession that has no cure is my obsession to SOFTCULT 😭🖤🖤🖤🖤🔥🤘
Been listening to your guy's music since gloomy girl and your sound never fails to amaze me. Keeping the theme intact but being so innovative, I don't think I'll ever stop falling in love with each new song that you release
fell in love with 'Another Bish' and have stayed ever since 🖤
Worth the wait!
10/10 - "will break the replay button"
Another masterpiece by Softcult 🖤
Love the song!! And I think this is my new favourite music video of yours 🖤

This song is so soothing to the ears...and soul.
Reminds me a bit of Type 0 negative. Which is a great thing !
Just found this band and I am f ing obsessed
Victoria Bowl approves this fantastic video. Rock on Softcult !
God, girls, you're never stop to amaze me, thank you dears💔
True authentic heartfelt music is hard to come by these days. Not a song in your catalog I don’t feel deeply. IMO amazing blend of sliverchair/the cure inspo. Beautiful
WOOOOOTTT so fire when the color kicks in and it drops 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 LUV the bowling alley shots & da Fefe drum fills 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
thanks jules
Love the grunge on the bass
thank you
You encapsulate exactly how I feel and many others, stuck.. in the monotony.. I love this 🖤
Im a simple man, I see a fellow jazzmaster enthusiast and I hit like, loved the song too
This song is so catchy and has this tender and warm feeling to it. I absolutely love it! I just wanna listen to it over and over again. ❤
Presumably you mean 'Softcult can do no wrong' or 'Softcult can't do any wrong'. Don't mean to be pedantic, but if it is not a typo then your message of praise followed by a condemnation is contradictory and therefore confusing.
@@AshleyReynolds-vc6ly ugh, definitely a typo, thanx for the head’s up
thank you
The vibes are immaculate. Blown away.
I could watch and listen to softcult on repeat forever.
As a bus driver,
l love this song.
I love the sound and lyrics! Got to meet you guys with my wife in Portland and Salem a few years ago before Softcult, I'm so glad you both get to finally make music that makes YOU guys happy! Loved the sound back then, and I love it now!
Awesome song! Just showed this to some friends here in Brazil and they loved it, its such a vibe...
thank you
Loved it! Lucky to be online right at release, caught me by surprise!
You have created the atmosphere wonderfully. Maaaaagic! 🙏🪄🎶
Glad you enjoy it!
Ahh yes, another song to jam with while I'm at work 🤘🏻😌
First time hearing this band. Haven’t felt this way since I heard Now, Now’s album Threads and that was an age ago. Definitely a fan now.
threads is a banger, and huge influence for us. thank you!

Beautiful song, another great softcult production, the drums, the voice, the guitars, everything generates a rhythm and beautiful melody, I love that gray tone in the production of the video, I barely finished listening to it and I'm already excited to listen to it again, I love his music :). Great song and great video, their music is great.
thanks so much
best duo fr
thank you
As always, song goes hard.
thanks brad
I have been consistently blown away by your releases since finding out about your music
thank you so much
Softcult est tellement sous estimé, le meilleur titre du groupe à ce jour.
I agree!
Feels like a hole in my heart You can take my life to grow your band.
Softcult back with another banger
Thanks once again for this beautiful piece of art! You rock! 🤟🏻
I love this Band 😢
The twins of rock are back!
Amazing as always! You are such an inspiration to us! This has been on repeat for the last 4 days!
Your music got me through a dark year last year. Just an amazing vibe and atmosphere. I'm so glad I discovered you and I love the new music 🧡
Im loving the return to heavier sounds. Great cinematography as well.
Got heavy Medicine's Time Baby III vibes. I loved that song when The Crow came out. It basically was an absolute must on sunny days.
This caused similar feelings.
Such a fantastic song, and such an important reveal of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Your work makes me feel a bit better about living here. Thanks!
I love every track you girls make, much love from Australia.
see you in march maybe?
Another song to add to my playlist. *chef's kiss*
Love this!!! Love the Jazzmaster!!!!
Wow diggn them grooves the ambience an your glamour you two are amazing
I'm entranced.!
This is only the second song I've listened to, and I feel like I am already hypnotized by both of them.
thanks for checking us out!
forever in my head thanks!!!!
Another gem! I don't think you could write a bad song if you tried.
high praise
Solid Lyrics + Peaceful Dreamy Vocals and Love the Instrumentation.
Big sound! Great bridge!

your videos clips are always a differential on how i listen to your songs
