parent teacher - LIVING A LIE
NEW YEAR, NEW PARENT TEACHER SONG
Living a Lie is the second single from the upcoming full-length album Impending Doom, scheduled to release in February 2023.
Just like his debut song evEryThiNG's NoRMaL, Living a Lie is as catchy as you can get them, guaranteed to get your head bobbing or inspire a sneaky dance in your living room. We truely hope you love it as much as we do.
Parent Teacher makes playful lo-fi bedroom indie, perhaps better classified as apocalyptic pop full of unexpected hooks.
Release date: 6 January 2023

lyrics
You want me to pretend that everything is fine
You only wanna send the others save your hide
It's not the way to go, it's not the way to get you by
You really don't know like you don't really know
You're living a lie
You want me to pretend that I've been someone else
You want me for a friend that brings you some more wealth
You want me to do all the good hard work for free
What ever could you do then
Could you do then for me
Surround yourself with the people who are just like you
No matter if they flake or what they really do
As long as they are quiet they're good use to use
Be sure to tie a noose so tight they can't undo
You'll make a bigger killing even if you lose
Don't mind that they are drilling underneath your shoes
You'll find that they are spilling all that they misuse
It's all the dissolution really I'm confused
You only wanna send the others save your hide
It's not the way to go, it's not the way to get you by
You really don't know like you don't really know
You're living a lie
You want me to pretend that I've been someone else
You want me for a friend that brings you some more wealth
You want me to do all the good hard work for free
What ever could you do then
Could you do then for me
Surround yourself with the people who are just like you
No matter if they flake or what they really do
As long as they are quiet they're good use to use
Be sure to tie a noose so tight they can't undo
You'll make a bigger killing even if you lose
Don't mind that they are drilling underneath your shoes
You'll find that they are spilling all that they misuse
It's all the dissolution really I'm confused
