about

First single from Tautologic's 2021 album, Wheels Fall Off.

"Well-arranged funky & jazzy Zappa-esque orchestration punctuated with brass and pop sensibility. The lyrics are relevant. The message is bitingly true." - rockatnight.com

"'That’s What I Hear' is the latest off their upcoming record Wheels Fall Off, and it’s a whole bowl full of goodness. Now, sure, it’s about the crumbling of society at the hands of our government, but it’s also a great example of how you can make a fun song out of something serious. Listen to the interplay of instruments throughout this whole composition-it is very satisfying." - Josh Terzino, music-defined.com

lyrics

That's What I Hear
words/music by Ethan Taylor Sellers

I see a lot of fear and blind frustration
The seers say that the worst is on its way
The paid-off prophets plead appeasement policies
The scene is tragic and the politicians play

That's What I Hear

I hear it was stolen slowly in backroom whispers,
An inside job, the fat men ate their fill
Before we knew it, they'd stripped the cupboards bare
Dine and dash, let the children pay the bill.

That's What I Hear

I see, I fear, I feel, I hear that
It's time, and time is running out
And we all know the status quo won't change itself
Rome's burning, 'cause the fiddler calls the tune
And ancient warnings ring unheeded through the ruins.

That's What I Hear
