Sometimes a song hits at the exact right moment in time, capturing the mood in a way that makes it an instant classic. That’s the case with Lesibu Grand’s new “WFS,” an exasperated cry into the void about a country that can’t be bothered to address even the smallest issues, let alone the big stuff. With the constant refrain “we don’t even try, cause we fucking suck,” singer Tyler-Simone runs through a list of injustices we could solve if we felt like it from criminal justice to healthcare to poverty. Like the best punk anthems, it’s cut through with a vein of nihilistic humor that only intensifies the rage beneath. This is the new American national anthem.
