about

“In the house I was living at the time, there was a TV, the news was pretty much always on,” says Baba Ali. “It was a moment when there was this sense that things were unravelling and the facades of society and order weren’t holding up anymore.”

-interview excerpt from The Line of Best Fit

Originally released December 20th, 2019 on 30th Century Records.

lyrics

what do u know we’re back at
square one again
and it’s the same ol’ same ol’
broken record over and over again
hmm, u got some big words ready
to explain urself away
but peel back the facade
and it’s the same old
no matter what you say

'cuz this house is not a house
its just a couple of sticks
and we’re all
well below zero

hmm ur looking down on ur nose
i guess u got it all under control
well we’ve been out of our minds
from the very first time they let
us in thru the door
so let’s dance, let’s dance 'til
we can’t feel a thing anymore
let’s dance 'til the tears fall down
to our feet and we wash the floor

'cuz this house is not a house
its just a couple of sticks
and we’re all
well below zero

they keep cutting the lights out
and everybody’s getting priced out
if it goes up anymore there won’t be
anywhere left to go
and everybody’s always running late
so there ain’t no time for debate
hey but lemme borrw a minute so
i can keep up in this rat race

and this house is not a house
its just a couple of sticks
and we’re all
well below zero
