- Page 4“My favorite songs about modern life speak to its overwhelming nature in a way that allows it to feel as it is, completely disorienting. Phoebe Bridgers’ “I know the End” is a perfect example of this. What I did with Buzz, either intentionally or unintentionally, was to lay out these dizzying burdens and then try to wrap them up in a neat little bow. We’re not really supposed to have so many insane and terrible things hit us all at the same time, it's created this “doomerism” where it all feels pretty much hopeless. A lot of the response to that from a younger generation is to “party”. Ignore setting up a future because it all feels pointless - a future where it will be too hot to even go outside. Buzz is that - it’s about life. I try to capture as much of that as I can and wrap it up with the sentiment, “all this social interaction, I’d kill for satisfaction.” Buzz is how you feel after a drink settles, the ringing in your ears after a concert. It's distortion, the hum of fluorescent lighting. Plain old unstoppable noise.”

- Hold on wait a minute
- Put your back into it
I see no devil, I see no devil
- Buzz
- How much is $8 now?
- They're killing people for $8 now
- Put your back into it
(Buzz) I've been good, I- I've been so good, I-
(Buzz) I've been good, I- I've been so good, I-
(Buzz) I've been so good, I- I've been so good, I-
I've been good, I- I've been so good
- All this social interaction
- I'd kill for satisfaction
- (Buzz)
- Alright!
- (Buzz)
- Desperate for some reaction, oh
- I'd kill for satisfaction
- Bootstraps, bootstraps
- Bootstraps, bootstraps
- String yourself up
- Higher, higher!
- Whiplash, I've been getting the whiplash
- Do you know what I mean?
- Does that make any cents?
I'm trying to get my fill, Who the fuck is Phil?
Did he come with you?
Weird hat
And at night when my eyes glaze over
And the nothing comes to get me, I dream of the 80's
- When testing strips were unnecessary
- When landing strips were obligatory
- When landing strips were obligatory
- All this social interaction
- I'd kill for satisfaction
- (Buzz)
- Alright!
- (Buzz)
- Desperate for some reaction, oh
- I'd kill for satisfaction
I've been good, I- I've been so good, I-
I've been good, I- I've been so good, I-
(Buzz) I've been so good, I- I've been so good, I-
(Buzz) I've been good, I- I've been so good
I don't remember how I used to feel
Now I ride home on electric wheels
I don't remember where I left myself
Taking this much is a cry for help
- You freak out and get nervous
- All this social interaction
- I'd kill for satisfaction
