As It Is - The Great Depression Lyrics






Hello consumer
I know you're there
So let me sing you this new dose of lies we've carefully prepared
Hello consumer
Just close your eyes
And listen close enough and this song might just save your fucking life

We live in the Great Depression
This is how we sell our lies

I'm the poet and the problem
I'm the blade and I'm the stitch
We tell you it's okay to die to stop you giving in
I'm the poet and the problem
I'm the sickness and the cure
We tell you what you wanna hear cause we're so insecure

You think you know me
When I feel down
Another song's another reason I'll just leave you here to drown
Call me dishonest
Call me a fraud
But you've been singing that for years and that's what got us where we are

We live in the Great Depression
This is how we sell our lies

I'm the poet and the problem
I'm the blade and I'm the stitch
We tell you it's okay to die to stop you giving in
I'm the poet and the problem
I'm the sickness and the cure
We tell you what you wanna hear cause we're so insecure
(We're so insecure)

Hello consumer
Just close your eyes
Listen close enough and this song might just save your fucking life

We live in the Great Depression
This is how we sell our lies

I'm the poet and the problem
I'm the blade and I'm the stitch
We tell you it's okay to die cause we don't give a shit
I'm the poet and the problem
I'm the sickness and the cure
We tell you what you wanna hear cause we're so insecure

(We're so insecure)
You think you know me

As It Is The Great Depression Comments
  1. S.... T....

    Such a good song

  2. �.... r....

    To be honest though I am the Great Depression

  3. M.... B....

    One of my favourite songs ever, and so clever too.

  4. L.... ....

    Just recently heard about as it is and I’ve deffo found another band to add to the ever growing list👍🏻🖤

  5. S.... g....

    I freaking love this album

  6. S.... B....

    This album would be good hardcore if not for the annoying pissy drums. If every track sounded like The Reaper it would be so much better

  7. R.... S....

    Cant wear my As It Is shirt anymore =[

  8. J.... d....

    Oh my God it's a stock market graph I'm such a dumb bitch I thought it was a lightning bolt arrow

  9. O.... F....

    A MESSAGE TO ALL HATERS: Get the fuck outta here.

  10. E.... T....

    Why there's 69 dislikes :():

  11. L.... U....

    Saw this live yesterday, so good!!

    L.... U....

    LUCKY 😭😭😭😭😭😭

  12. I.... w....

    Went to see them live last night, best show yet

    I.... w....

    LUCKY 😭😭😭😭😭

  13. A.... C....

    I did a cover for this
    https://youtu.be/CCorUjPBpPg

  14. a.... ....

    hOLY FUCK THIS IS AMAZING I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS SLEEPING ON THEEEEEM JAANQBDJAKSBWKDJEBE

  15. O.... F....

    I so am buying this album

  16. R.... P....

    This kinda sounds like an Emo version of "Billionaire" by Travis McCoy ft. Bruno Mars, go listen to that song and then, listen to this song closely. Honestly, I was expecting a heavier sound because of the song title but whatever...👍💞

  17. E.... T....

    I am really thankful to As It Is for being emo and doing music

  18. i.... !....

    *Patty's depressed, Am not sure how I feel*

  19. Z.... A....

    Is it just me or is Patty heavily auto tuned on this record??

  20. D.... H....

    The lyrics are so clever. Props to As It Is and especially Patty!

  21. J.... H....

    Most of the bands that I've loved are either pulling away from the emo culture look and removing the black and changing the style to fit the crowd. Not As It Is heading in the emo direction, in my opinion, it's cool they're standing out with this look. It is totally different from dial tones and the past but I like it.

  22. C.... H....

    How much this band has changed since I saw them a year ago is amazing. But I love it

  23. J.... ....

    reminds me SOO MUCH OF PIERCE THE VEIL

  24. D.... ....

    Hello fearless. I'm a long time PTV fanboy. This is your new toy. Promote them and add better writers. These guys will be big if you see their potential. If no attention is given, then they're wasted on you.

  25. O.... 9....

    what a load of dog wank

    O.... 9....

    Hey! Leave.

  26. G.... M....

    This album should be renamed "The Great Nostalgia".

  27. Y.... 8....

    The way he says depression..😶

  28. E.... ....

    The new MCR boys and girls

  29. H.... H....

    Who said the human race isn't evolving? Well clearly it is and this album is proof.

  30. D.... 6....

    I'm getting MCR, SIO, and The Used vibes. LOVE IT

    D.... 6....

    more SIO vibes

  31. F.... A....

    YES I LOVE THIS BAND

    t.... ....

    Myotic Tesseract So I'm wrong, thanks, beautiful person

  72. T.... -....

    The 1st minute I wasn't sure if I was loving it.. then 20 seconds later, I was like : << Damn ! That's pretty good :o ! >> and then I added it to spotify...

  73. R.... S....

    I have had it on repeat since it hit and may have been blaring it for 5 minutes at Walmart until I was told to let someone else have a turn

  74. F.... A....

    I think this might be my favorite album of the year

  94. C.... G....

    I've listened to the album 4 times in less than 24 hours. So glad I preordered it at warped

  95. A.... F....

    good song to listen to 🤤🤤

  96. r.... y....

    Saw the notification on my phone when i'm in class, holy shit the teacher havent knew im about to watch this in the student bathroom

  97. R.... ....

    If the thing that gets you through hard times is your emotional well-being, then you’re just going to go up and down all the time. It makes sense to me if you don’t have something higher than yourself to hold onto when life gets tough, why are you could ever flow and depression based on the music you listen to. I really liked the route the band went with the song, it says a lot.

  98. l.... ....

    Oh hello, Patty
