Part of the triple j unearthed #DIYSUPERGROUP project using some samples from Superorganism, ‘Lemmings’ is a high energy chaos-pop track about the 90’s 8bit puzzle game which had players assign roles to tiny lime-haired servants of obedience. 

The track is tongue-in-cheek bouncy pop music that will have you uniting against the tyranny of a faceless god behind the glass, and will rally your passion for freedom in a pixilated universe!

Lyrics:

open up the doors 
falling into lines
we all look the same but you’re not my type 

open up the doors 
falling into lines
i dont look both ways 
i don’t see the signs



you think id, 
notice that there seems to be a fatal trend 
my brothers have been falling off the deeper end 
and i think i might be going next

have you tried
building up a ladder with a little wood 
knowing you don't matter knowing if you could 
build a little better it’s still no good

then you die 

I see beyond the glass
sitting on your chair 
thinking there’s no way-e-ay-e-ay
this wouldn’t be fair

you think that you’re stuck
but you dont give a care 
have you ever tried-e-i-e-this
this digital nightmare


i call out
brothers can you hear me my manifesto
following directions on a dodgy road 
how many more lime-haired funerals till we go?

we could make it look like an accident 
who the hell would blame it on our sentience 
make him climb his own damn incomplete pixel road

watch him fall into that fiery lava hole
then go have a party without the threat of being killed r
or being left 
or being falling off
or getting stuck
or going splat 
or being the only one to make it there


TY FOR LISTENING XXXXX

Lemmings

I made this as an intro song to MatPat's show "Game Theory" (You can check it out here: http://bit.ly/sieDB8). He wanted an oldschool feel to it, and seeing how I'm about the oldschool, I cooked together something special for him!
