"Once upon a time, they promised you a pot of gold / Your belly will always be full of meat, rice, and cake / Only if you take a step right through the door / You don't need to worry where it all came from"
LINER NOTES: "Lapdog," a bitter critique of being the system's "pet" in exchange for comfort at the cost of losing oneself. "This song is about the choices we make every day, when we click 'agree' to something that actually hurts us," explains Edo, the band's guitarist.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT lyrics:
Once upon a time, they promised you a pot of gold
Your belly will always be full of meat, rice, and cake

Grrrl Gang is a trio from Yogyakarta, Indonesia, consisting of Angee (vocals, guitar), Edo (guitar), and Akbar (bass). Since their formation, they have become one of the freshest and most relevant voices in the Indonesian and Southeast Asian indie music scene. With a sound rooted in 90s alternative rock, their lyrics often tackle everyday, social, and political issues with honesty and without filter. The single "O, My Love" and the upcoming maxi single "Online 24/7" mark a new, more mature and daring chapter for the band, proving they are not just makers of cheerful tunes but also deep thinkers conveying protest through catchy melodies.
Your belly will always be full of meat, rice, and cake
Only if you take a step right through the door
You don't need to worry where it all came from
(All you have to do
Sign your name here, eat the other dogs)
After endless beatings, they then tell you
"Hey, keep your chin up! Go fix that tie. You got a lotta reasons to live for."
The gray cubicles isolate you
A lifetime sentence you have to go through
That bеach vacation? Huh! Forget it
Your soul is tied herе
But, no matter, you just gotta sing
[Chorus]
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
[Verse 2]
You see your other fellows dropping like trees cut by lumbers
If you keep your head down
Say yes to any of their whims
Applaud to their brilliant ideas
You’re guaranteed a seat at the table, my friend
You turn a blind eye to all the suffering you see
Like, hey, you got it hard too
These people wouldn't understand
Just how much you’re breaking your back
To pay off the debts of your shiny, new watch
So, yeah, you just gotta sing
[Chorus]
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la

A lapdog is all you wanna be
A lapdog is all you wanna be
A lapdog is all you wanna be
A lapdog is all you wanna be
A lapdog is all you'll ever be
A lapdog is all you'll ever be
A lapdog is all you'll ever be
A lapdog is all you'll ever be
A lapdog is all you'll ever be
[Today Indonesian trio Grrrl Gang are excited to release their new maxi-single "Online 24/7" via Green Island Music (stream). In a world where our lives move “Online 24/7,” Grrrl Gang brings us the sound we most need to hear. More than just three songs, it's a sonic journey through the cracks in our digital souls, from silent violence and system fatigue to fighting back with love.]
