A song about the tinkling chimes and breathy panpipes that announce a quickening of the pace in a US movie extolling the delights and virtues of neoliberal entrepreneurial agency.
lyrics
These are the chimes of expectation
This is the siren of the future
This is your call to misadventure
This is the dawn of new America
Don’t tell mum about the dungeons
the uncounted dead
The centre of operation
The means of execution
These are the chimes of expectation
The eagle of the imperium
There’s no time for hesitation
The FOMO is real
You’ve been rightsized to perfection
Get out there and deal
Let’s maim some home invaders
Let’s make love like Sharon Stone
This is your brain on petrodollars
This is the way they take over
These are the chimes of expectation
The panpipes of delirium
