lyrics

I fly economy
That’s alright by me
Just need an easy way
To get from A to B
I’m a simple man
I like my aisle seat
But I’m not the kind of guy
To pay no quadruple price
For a seat a little bigger
That ain’t all that nice
Or for food a little better
That ain’t all that great
Just ‘cause they serve it on
A fussy little porcelain plate
Or to pay for a dream
That I know is a lie
The way the other half lives
In the divided sky

So I…
Fly fly fly economy
Fly fly fly economy

So I stand in line an hour
Just to check myself in
Then I get to the boarding gate
And line up again
Then they take us to the tarmac
In a shitty old bus
And we’re packed like sardines
At least a hundred of us
As I cram myself in
To a tiny window seat
There’s a smelly dude next to me
In 38-B
And I’m staring out the window
At my view of the wing
When the dude puts on his headphones
And commences to sing
Now they’re bringing the menu
And I’m starting to wish
For a better option than
The beef or the fish
And the babies all cry
The little TV just died
I need the cabin to call
For revolution in the sky

So I…
Fly fly fly economy
Fly fly fly economy

We are a five-piece rock band that hits you like gravity, inescapable and ready to send you hurtling through the sky. Their aviation-themed music takes cues from classic rock as well as contemporary psychedelic rock bands. Composed of veteran musicians from the Shanghai rock scene, think serious songwriting, groovy riffs, endless delay and bold harmonies.
