lyrics

He's a tragic character because he's so determined
But he always fails, but still doesn't give up
Though he does almost always fail
That's why he's very determined
Oh, Alister, you very determined dwarf hamster you

Hamster rhymes with Amster
Damn this hamster smokes some dank bud
He's not a cow, so he doesn't chew cud
He lives in a palace known only as Hamsterdam
Climbing those walls, those bars, chewing on seeds
Endlessly, endlessly

Oh, Alister, you very determined dwarf hamster you
Spinning round and round and round and round and round and round and round

Alister, the very determined dwarf hamster
Alister, the very determined dwarf hamster

He falls and it looks painful
But he's determined and he doesn't care
He's also really light
So his body doesn't have enough mass to hurt him with inertia
But regardless, he's still really determined
He likes to roll around in a giant ball
You know, like the singer of the Flaming Lips
He also likes broccoli a lot
I don't know if the Flaming Lips like broccoli

Spinning round and round and round and round and round and round and round

He's so angsty that sometimes he bites
But if you give him some kettle corn, he will be nice
He tries and tries and tries and fails most of the time
But still tries and sometimes succeeds
Yes, sometimes
But if you stay in school
You can get some kettle corn and success
(He's one of us)
Do you hear that?
That popping sound is the sound of success
(Pop, pop, pop goes success)
Yes, success
Pop, pop, pop
That's your name they're calling
Remember the lesson of Alister the very determined dwarf hamster
Spinning round and round and round and round and round and round and round
Climbing those walls, those bars, chewing on seeds
Endlessly, endlessly, endlessly

Oh, Alister, you very determined dwarf hamster you
Round and round and round
Spinning round and round and round and round and round and round
Climbing those walls, those bars, chewing on seeds
Endlessly, endlessly, endlessly

Kinjac Asheville, North Carolina

Southern gothic anti-pop for sad citizens of the dystopia.

Kinjac is the solo project of music producer MG O'Shea.

Bandcamp Daily’s editorial director wrote “O’Shea is comfortable in the darkness. The music he makes as Kinjac exists in shadow, using the structures of industrial and dark ambient music as a backdrop for investigating life’s tragedies and big, unanswerable questions." ... more
