Most commenters love Ai Tsuno, but some call us slopaganda. This ditty is for them.

When times change we can
Stick to the original plan
Or just try to relate
To whatever helps us communicate
You can lament the coming of TV
And lots more technology
Hold onto your purity
Or get dirty

Call it slopaganda, that's OK
If you've got a better way
To reach the people, show me how
And for fuck’s sake, do it now

Are these really times for waiting
For equivocating
Tell me, in your fantasies
Could you ever make a band with these
Players from everywhere
Experts in all the styles there
Oud, rabat, shamisen
And a chorus of Bulgarian women

Chorus

I don't know how rich you are
Or how many fans you have so far
But with songs with such production
You might just win the damn election
With the right kind of captioned video
No telling where you'll go
You might get views, here at the brink
Make people feel and think

Chorus

“Slopaganda” will be a track on Ai Tsuno’s upcoming album, A TOAST TO PLANET EARTH, which drops on all the streaming platforms on September 1st.
