Theme

A party anthem celebrating the hedonism of the Roaring 1920s—wealth, excess, and anarchic freedom. Yet beneath the catchy surface lies dark irony: those decades also saw the rise of Nazism in Germany and Fascism in Italy, followed by the Great Depression's financial collapse. The song captures how empire's height contains the seeds of its own destruction.

Lyrics
Listen up, hatchet man Set controls for the heart of the land Tell 'em all it is time You're the next in the chain of command (As my) Apparition (Apparition) Direct the course for collision (Grow) Suspicion (Suspicion) For the Reich to come to fruition In the Twenties (Twenties) We'll be singing in a reign of pennies In the Twenties (Twenties) We'll be soaring in disguise of Bevies In the Twenties (Twеnties) We'll be smooching at thе feet of Da Rulah In the Twenties (Twenties) We'll be grinding in a pile of moolah Listen up, you motherf*ckers Those Ivy League dopes, they wanna mock us Tell 'em all this is war And not fighting a war is for suckers (Kiss my) Assassinate (Assassinate) Gather the tools to disintegrate (Feed) Hate (Hate) Reaping the seeds as a reprobate I'm number one, you're number two You've got a lot of god's work to do In the Twenties (Twenties) We'll be singing in a reign of pennies In the Twenties (Twenties) We'll be soaring in disguise of Bevies In the Twenties (Twenties) We'll be taking no shit from no chulas We'll be grabbing 'em all by the hoo-has In the Twenties (Twenties) We'll be dancing in the fields of freedom In the Twenties (Twenties) We'll be crushing them laws 'cause we don't need 'em In the Twenties In the Twenties (Twenties) All the way to the thirties In the Twenties (Twenties) We'll be singing in a reign of pennies In the Twenties (Twenties) We'll be soaring in disguise of Bevies We'll be smooching at the feet of Da Rulah In the Twenties (Twenties) We'll be grinding in a pile of moolah
