“Wake up, wake up, wake up/ It’s Monday morning and we’ve only got a thousand of them left/ Well, I know it feels pointless and you don’t have any money/ But we’re all just gonna try our fucking best/ Well, my generation wanna fuck Barack Obama/ Living in a sauna with legal marijuana.”
“People” comes with a corresponding music video by Healy, Warren Fu, and Ben Ditto. It’s a flashy watch that stars the band and can be seen below. (Note: The clip comes with a warning for those with epilepsy.)
The group previously teased the new album with the excellent “The 1975”. Ahead of the release of Notes on a Conditional Form, The 1975 will tour North America in the fall. Make sure to grab your tickets here.
