about

This song was written from the title up. I had a riff and a phrase that I smashed together. One fine day Dante and Fredo were in the room to jam on said riff. It was kind of a catchy one, like “Roxanne” by the Police, or even one of my old Rough Church songs, like “Carpal Tunnel.” The lyric was just a breakup song, except that it seemed funny because I was activated by the message that comes up when you can’t quit a program on your computer and it gives you the option to “force quit the application.” That was basically it; the song wrote itself, as a modern “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” kind of tune. Once the pandemic hit in 2020 and we recorded the song, it just made sense because we wanted to dump the current situation we all found ourselves in. There is a deeper thing going on here that even now I can’t exactly put my finger on, a frustration that was definitely in the air at the time of writing and recording it.
(Greg Franco | April 2023)

lyrics

FORCE QUIT LYRICS

You batted your eyes
I battered my soul
I took a ride
Now I gotta go
Your lips like honey
Your hips like snow
I buried all the flowers
Now I gotta go

Took the chicken exit
You won't change my mind
Force Quit
Force Quit
Force Quit
Oh

Force Quit
Force Quit
Force Quit

Now it's all through the fucking roof
Don't care about your cryin' or
Your mixed-up funky news
You’re still a special person
I gotta float
Ship needs a captain
Here comes the rescue boat

I'm in the pole position
Final lap around
Force Quit
Force Quit
Force Quit
Oh

It's either me or
you you you
you you you
you you you
you you you
you you you

I took the chicken exit
You won't change my mind
Force Quit
Force Quit
Force Quit

It's either me or
you you you
you you you
you you you
you you you
you you you you
