I dunno, I just think it's a brilliant pop / rock song with a massive chorus and lyrics that careen from flippant to f***-off brilliant in a flash. A 61 year-old misanthrope urging his listeners to kill themselves [one interpretation, of course there are others] feels pretty punk to me, and far more fun than much of his post-2000 output.I'm completely puzzled by the praise this song is getting here. The music is something a teenager could cobble together on Ableton after a 5-minute tutorial and the lyrics are so pathetic they're barely even worth mentioning. This epitomizes the Morrissey of 2021: devoid of subtlety and bordering on creative bankruptcy. The thought of putting this track alongside his best work is a juxtaposition akin to blasphemy.
