Hooligan

"HOOLIGAN (performed by Osirah): Listening expectantly to Shiny's forgotten ode, Osirah hears nothing that would constitute respect or attraction for the dated and inconsequential music. However, the curious tale of the song's acquisition compels Osirah to share via a favorited social channel: which when posted as message and media vanishes instantly. A second erasure signals some transgression of Al censors; prompting Osirah to carry the expanding story to the Crystal Web where such contraband is welcome and traded. The teen is shocked anew as hundreds of fellow denizens in the shadowy realm come forth to sing the praises Shiny; engendering in Osirah a sense that a far bigger narrative is afoot; and that Osirah alone is at the center of it." (ATUM story notes)

 

Lyrics

If it's us and them
Our heroes have to fight and fight to win
So it figures then
I'd languish on the lash of life and limb
As hooligan
A hooligan

Once skies should dark
What could go wrong
I'm a hooligan
Oh, I'm a hooligan
I'm a hooligan

If you're more than culled
Our arrows needn't bite as you would lose
'Cause if none says all
Than nothing's ever real as I might excuse
As hooligan
As hooligan

Once skies should dark
What could go wrong
I'm a hooligan
Oh, I'm a hooligan

For that spaceman floating on
For his muddy somme
For kinetic, self-same bots
For those who can't belong
I'm that hooligan, oh
I'm a hooligan, oh

Oh, I'm a hooligan, oh
I'm a hooligan
Oh, I'm a hooligan, oh
