LYRICS
Yeah the evil is way too deep
The murderers lose no sleep
Supreme Court no sour cream
All I'm vetoing all your shit
Ignoring those deep state bitch
There's only one party this

Hey this time we're gonna be all right
I won't mess it up
Hey this time it's gonna be real nice
Nice for everyone

I'm the president yeah
You all voted here I am
I'm the president I love you
Who's the president me
Landslide fucking victory
I'm the president I love you

Yeah Mount Rushymore has some tits
I heard you been talking shit
Let's see where that airstrike hits
Still, still learning these nukey codes
Ignoring those deep state chodes
My TR-3B flies low

Hey this time we're gonna be all right
I won't mess it up
Hey this time it's gonna be real nice
Orange you glad I won?

I'm the president yeah
You all voted here I am
I'm the president I love you
Who's the president me
Landslide fucking victory
I'm the president I love you

I'm the president yeah
You all voted here I am

Who's the president me
Landslide fucking Genevieve
I'm the president I love you

[LOUISGENEVIEVE]

we put the lyrics in the description. also stop being pussies about the snare drum mix

[marinersfan]

Bassist came out of the womb with bass face

[squidynamite]

Best news I’ve received in a LONG time. Welcome back KNOWER!

[mikkabouzu]

Nothing but respect for MY president. Artadi Cole 24

[aarondx]

3:49 Loius and Genieve are Insane, they change the her loading shirt from 76% to 77% it;s taken me *atleast* 20 plus watches to notice this.

[Vscustomprinting]

”Whos the president? Me. "

Im COMPLETELY satisfied with the vocals.

[ferda]

the cramped space, cameraman in the beekeeper suit, horns section downstairs, the interactive editing and the sick drumfills... hell yeah

[warrenjones]

Louis Cole is the conductor of an orchestra, but instead waving a wand he fucking holds it down on drums and maintains the backbone of the tightest pocket I have ever heard. I have so much respect for the musicians involved in this masterpiece.

[LonestarGA]

was just thinking this morning, while listening to some Louis Cole music, I wondered "Would there ever be more Knower songs?" Seems like I manifested myself in the right timeline, for once.

[dennisbellinger]

I’m a 73 year old bass player and just love you guys. You’re a bad man Sam! All my best to you all! 🫵🏻💙✨🎸

[Amon]

I love how the lyrics sound like something a little kid would sing to themselves. It's simple but deadly-infectious and enveloped in a rich layer of art-funk. This is the kind of music you never knew you wanted until you heard it.

[johngatewood]

Genevieves new album is so beautiful her melodies are hypnotic her voice is unique. Louis Cole's latest album was a new horizon in snaptabulous pop. And a new Knower album on the way.. well I guess life doesn't always suck.

[seeegol]

Everything about this is perfect. The insanely funky bass tone, the awesome keyboard playing, the brass section lick, Paul Cornish rushing downstairs just in time to play a wild piano solo, the fact that they got an entire orchestra for like the last 15 seconds of the song, the uncalled for but totally sick drum solo at the end, the hilarious editing, and the random gong at the end. Chef's kiss.


Oh, and the fact that the keyboard Jacob Mann was playing was just a random cheapo one off Amazon

Oh, AND there's a new Knower album coming out

[dkny]

I hope the non-drummers out there appreciate how difficult it is to do those fast triplet kicks with a single pedal at 3:33... that right there is like years of practice.

[goop]

can we appreciate how fucking awesome the driveway choir sounded behind Cornish's amazing piano solo?! so happy to see KNOWER back!! never stop doing what you do Genevieve and Louis!!!

[winterlogical]

Oh boy. You know when it's a KNOWER vid in this style, there's gonna be random shit all over the video. Here are all the easter eggs / video edits I caught (please, feel free to add anything I missed):

Midi Keyboard Amazon Page - 0:22
BUGLES - 0:31
A rat underneath the drum throne - 0:32
Sam Wilkes wears an earpiece - 0:38
Flutes turn to missiles - 0:44
Overdub in the corner changes to "ETC." - 0:51
Drum fill of the year - 1:01
She's the president and presidents get mics, duh - 1:03
TUBA FLAMETHROWER - 1:14
Sneaky clapping hands in the bottom right corner - 1:21
Not hidden at all, but Genevieve becomes Mt. Rushmore - 1:23
Also not hidden but I couldn't not remark on the missile strike - 1:28
Lewd imagery censored on the computer - 1:34
TR-3B in the top left corner (thanks Patrick Andersen for the correction) - 1:36
B section text flash - 1:40
Scream face behind the door - 1:48
Podium and ASL interpreter - 1:59
tuba lets off some steam - 2:04
jacob mann takes a smoke break - 2:11, and still at 2:15
genevieve is one of the great presidents - 2:38
she then frowns in the frame - 2:40
a bird nests on the high tom - 3:24
the fart loading tshirt goes up a percent - 3:50

[cuxsia]

3:32 am I wrong, or I just saw thirty-second notes on a kick with a single pedal and a single foot. these guys are totally crazy

[Lotuseater]

Hope the whole album has this "recorded in a small house" sound. The past albums have been great, but the live performances in the small house elevated basically every track.

[seanomurchu]

It's bonkers that we've already had two amazing solo albums from Louis and Genevieve in the last 6 months and now we're getting another one into the boot. This is like MF DOOM 2004 levels of output.

[AlbinoJedi]

I need to know how all of these people playing live together with the timing and microphones is coordinated, recorded, mixed. Absolutely mind blowing.
