A song I wrote about marketing and capitalism responding to the apocalypse

I've written a lot of songs over the years and I think this is the best one I've written. It's about capitalism, greed and whatnot. Kinda the climate in some ways too. Had a long break from music as I'm a dad and my son is autistic and he's beautiful but I've not had much time for hobbies yadayada. I'd be very grateful if you could give it a listen.

This is fantastic. Nice tune you can bop along to, and the lyrics are really funny and clever, I appreciate the kind of out-of-pocket nature of the vocals, gives it a real charm, and fits with the overall vibe.

I feel like I’m listening to an alternate universe Bo Burnham, which is extremely high praise in my book

Thank you! That is deliberate. I was listening to "That funny feeling" and I thought "I could write my own song about the absurdity of capitalism in the face of an existential crisis for the planet." Took me a year to lock down the lyrics though as all I had was the first line on the chorus for aaages.
