What’s right is wrong
What’s strong is weak
The brave are meek
The cowardly are heroes
It’s bad if you owe zero
Better to be in debt
Get a better rating
It’s good
If you feel your will fading away
The liars tell the truth
Trust authority
We have your best interest in mind
So please act accordingly
This place is as good as it gets
You don't like it get the fuck out
And we'll euthanize your pets
We have no real plan
This place was built on pillars of sand
How am I supposed to stand
When all you give me are pillars made of
How am I supposed to stand
When all you give me are pillars made of sand
How am I supposed to stand up for my family and friends
When all you give me are glossy photos of smiling mannequins
It seems so unfair and nobody seems to care
And like nobody knows, so I gotta bust some flows
The whole world tells you, you gotta be the man
And then they hand you these pillars made of sand
Then they say “Hey it didn't work out for you today, now take these pills
And call me when you ready to pay the bill!” (with your life)
The whole world tells you “It’s your lucky day, son!
You are the one chosen from millions to walk the path of the doomed.
We've done the math, all the bad shit is over, you won't end up entombed.
Trust me…”
Before you know it you’re 66 and your face does show it
Rekt with debt, rekt with misery, rekt with regret and sadness,
At least that is free
Health in ruin, finances are doomed
Dead ends face you in all directions
Then the tax man says “I have some new inspections.”
You try and stand up and be a man, or woman
But they make you get down on your knees
This shit is cold man, like minus a thousand degrees
We’re all like slaves, layin’ there sayin’
“Please…”
How am I supposed to stand
When all you give me are pillars made of
How am I supposed to stand
When all you give me are pillars made of sand
How am I supposed to stand up for my family and friends
When all you give me are glossy photos of smiling mannequins

One of the reasons why the film is as outstanding as it is, the original soundtrack for the animated feature is a warped and immensely different experience to most other scores to films. Highly underrated. Kei Nishimaru’s Mixed-Up Set (SentinelWorks Releasing)
The new single from ako takes a decidedly woozy take on club music, with dreamy vaporware aesthetics and a deliciously laconic beat. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 29, 2022
