about

The lyrics were based on The Culture of Narcissism by Christopher Lasch, 1978, which grappled with the changes in American culture from previous eras when civic duty and traditional roles guided people’s identities to 1978, when the focus became endless catering to, and analysis of, the self.

lyrics

Man with no remembered past
Fast, frozen and fancy-free
Basing his life on the present,
Its fads and its fopperies

Floating with the current on a raft all alone
Gone with the flow, all of history
He found a cure for the world:

He made the world go away,
He made the world go away,
He made the world go away.

A tender infant voice within
Screams at its first betrayal
Mother's black beak stabbing through time

Man with no more future-faith
Trapped like a rat in his personal space
Nonplussed by the real life that passes before his eyes

Slumped in the sticky-sweet popcorn seat
Watching movies of the world's demise
He found a cure for the world

He made the world go away
He made the world go away
He made the world go away

Cataracts spread like rot,
Breaking the threads of sight
Colors and shapes scatter the light through your eyes

Hours and days flow vaguely by Life at the top of the food chain
A gradual death to the pleasures of the flesh
Dropping pounds and dripping fat
From a decade of treatments and sauna baths
They found a cure for the world

They made the world go away
They made the world go away
We made the world go away

Let's make the world go away
Please make the world go away
Just make the world go away

The Fibonaccis image

The Fibonaccis Los Angeles, California

Welcome to The Fibonaccis official Bandcamp page. The band rose from the early-'80s Los Angeles art punk scene and drew from a wide range of ideas and influences. It was active until 1988, with a brief exhumation and CD retrospective in 1992. The name comes from Leonardo Fibonacci, the 14th century Italian mathematician from Pisa.
