LyricsShow lyrics

born and raised in london in the 1860s
little George collected bugs as his only hobby
he found that he enjoyed entomology
and now he owes us one hell of an apology

hey i need to
collect more insects
my job starts too late
I need the sunlight
And I need to move the day

Daylight saving time
Hasn't saved us anything
It's the disease that keeps on taking lives
Every fall and every spring

I never met the guy
who invented DST
But if I had, I'd make him wish
That he had never met someone like me

He moved to new zealand to work the family farm
Little did we know this little boy would cause so much harm

Then he worked the post office but at the wrong time of day
So he proposed a plan to get more bug play

Outside, it's too dark
My shift end too late
I need more insects
I need the sunlight
We need to move the day

Daylight saving time
Hasn't saved us anything
It's the disease that keeps on taking lives
Every fall and every spring

I never met the guy
who invented DST
But if I had, I'd make him wish
That he had never met someone like me

My absolute favorite lyrically. I love that tempo change and the angry chorus especially. The music is cool as well. Great falsetto!

really love the verse for this one, the electronic stuff and the chopped up melodies are great. I’m not as fond of the chorus, although this is just personal taste again as you’ve done a good job of shifting the rhythm and vibe. Liked the lyric a lot, interesting choice of subject!

Great production, love the prechorus and the chorus! Cool synth sounds, and you sound real angry.
