To a former client, a former president, and the greatest carnival barker fo them all.
lyrics
I remember riding up to the 26th floor…
Million dollar views and really, really bad décor
And the people below looked like small little ants,
You looked down-and proclaimed, you were king-of-this-town
As did your sycophants
So Hail to the Cheeto You were just another brand,
You were just another brand
So Hail to the Cheeto You were just another brand,
You were just another brand,
As I tried to explain the nice shiny design
When your eyes locked with mine,
you said, “I want a bigger sign”
With nothing left to discuss, we presented the bill,
then you shrugged, and asked if we were on drugs,
and told us “if you dress, you better dress to kill”
So Hail to the Cheeto You were just another brand,
You were just another brand,
So Hail to the Cheeto You were just another brand,
You were just another brand,
You built foundations That were made of sand
But there was one thing you could understand
The disenfranchised and disqualified ,
were never really taken for a ride
A message for a short attention span
And all presented by a business man. Oh man. Oh Man.
So Hail to the Cheeto You were just another brand,
You were just another brand,
So Hail to the Cheeto You were just another brand,
You were just another brand,
I caught your face when I turned on my bedroom TV
A talking head was looking distressed,
saying you would not concede
And I was laughing when they cut to you calling them “thieves”
because I know, that you will never let go
and there's nobody left, nobody left to believe
So Hail to the Cheeto You were just another brand,
You were just another brand,
So Hail to the Cheeto You were just another brand,
You were just another brand,

Alt-pop stylings of Gretchen's Wheel takes on the influential Nada Surf with a bunch of carefully-selected covers. Limited lathe cut vinyl, limited CD pressings, all good. Scoop ya one up. Very nice tribute, for sure! Nerve Salad
