Lyrics:
To everyone sleeping in their car,
And all the teenage Tik Tok stars,
And everybody baking bread,
Doomscrolling, going outta their head:

Blackberry pie a la mode,
Black coffee, no future.
No one to be, nothing to see -
Clouds hide the stars
And the helicopters…

And all the kids in their virtual classes,
Stuck at home sitting on their asses.
And all the houses lost to fires,
The anti-vaxxers and the climate deniers:

Blackberry pie, a la mode,
Black coffee, no tomorrow.
Nowhere to be, nothing to see -
Clouds hide the stars
And the helicopters…

And all the puffed up patriot pigs,
Punisher skulls on backs of their rigs,
And everyone else just trying to get by;
To stay alive or at least not die:

Blackberry pie, a la mode,
Black coffee, no future.
No fairy tale ending -
Clouds hide the stars
And the helicopters.

All I can say is... thank god for Sam and Janet. Quasi Rocks!

[nickiperk]

Love this a lot. The words are so true of these times. Also super fun melody!!

[shlugshining]

I'm so, so grateful this band is still doing it: a constant, joyful presence in my life for 25 years.

[markb]

beautiful sound beautiful images. I was sad today until this hit me a la mode

[OaktownBman]

This is the best summary of "that thing we're going through." I hope this video will be in our grandkids' interactive history lessons about the COVID era.

[sapph____]

I can’t believe you guys singlehandedly saved music. thanks

[amber_jane]

i love this band. i love that the spotted lanternfly makes an appearance. also i feel like in the 90’s on “orbiting pods” Quasi described a dystopian sci-future and now in the 2020s they have a similar effect just describing a normal day they just had, whew. Thanks quasi for still being a band!!

[socrjox]

this song and video are so, so excellent

[blackball]

What a song. Loving the music videos so far - the album can't come out soon enough!

[elbowache]

This made me feel terrible. It's perfect.

[mahayanarudy]

Love you guys. This is fantastic. Two absolute top tier songs already. Can’t wait for the album.

[croatiablack]

I am a new fan. You really captured a specific feeling on this one, mature apathy. Absurdist relaxation at the end of a story. Needless to say I'm loving it.

[bjf]

So much love for this. Looking forward to seeing you on tour!

[Heated_Wigwam]

I read that Quasi has been around a long time, but I've never heard of them! You've got a new fan and I've marked my calendar to pick up the digital album after feb 10. Amazing thundering sound on this song.

[PapiCthulu]

Good to see the elderly makin' new music

[gobalmighty]

As fucking awesome as ever. Thank you for going to Dolans. I'll see you there and I can't wait!

[theedorbs]

You captured the moment as only Quasi can. Thank you.

[hazelhumor]

Don't know why but I'd eat some blackberry pie now

[studgerbil]

Well, I gave up hope for humanity in 1968 so, you know -- not helping, guys. But I've gotta see how it ends.

[tedwhite]

A masterpiece-- makes gloom fun again.
