"GOSSIP" lyrics

"GOSSIP"
(feat. Tom Morello)

Welcome to the city of lies
Where everything's got a price
It's gonna be your new favorite place
You can be a movie star
And get everything you want
Just put some plastic on your face

This place is a circus
You just see the surface
They cover shit under the rug
You can't see they're faking
They'll never be naked
Just fill your drink
With tonic gin
This is the American dream, so

Sip
The gossip
Drink 'til you choke
Sip
The gossip
Burn down your throat
You're not iconic
You are just like them all
Don't act like you don't know
So sip
The gossip
Drink 'til you choke
Sip
The gossip
Burn down your throat
You're not iconic
You are just like them all
Don't act like you don't know

Keep drinking and acting cool
Don't care if your day is blue
Nobody loves a gloomy face, just
Take your pills and dance all night
Don't think at all, that's the advice
So c'mon let's try, it's just a taste

This place is a circus
You just see the surface
They cover shit under the rug
You can't see they're faking
They'll never be naked
Just fill your drink
With tonic gin
This is the American dream, so

Sip
The gossip
Drink 'til you choke
Sip
The gossip
Burn down your throat
You're not iconic
You are just like them all
Don't act like you don't know
So sip
The gossip
Drink 'til you choke
Sip
The gossip
Burn down your throat
You're not iconic
You are just like them all
Don't act like you don't know

So sip
The gossip
Drink 'til you choke
Sip
The gossip
Burn down your throat
You're not iconic
You are just like them all
Don't act like you don't know


Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine), featured on "GOSSIP", performs the guitar solo on the track. Måneskin's Damiano David said about having the guest, "Tom Morello's enormous experience allowed us to take cues on how to work on tracks without overthinking. We can't thank him enough for joining us on this track. It's an honor for the whole band!" He also added, "The song in general talks about all the issues with performance culture, perfection culture, aesthetic culture. Social media is putting a lot of pressure on the younger generations. It's a critique of that, with a hint of irony."
This track and its chaotic music video were published on the 13th of January, 2023. Victoria De Angelis told NME about it, "The song originated from a riff which Thomas had written some time ago and which we had been holding onto for a long time which we kept developing. Then the icon Tom Morello joined and brought something extra to the classic uptempo Måneskin cheerfulness." Morello chimed in, "When I heard that there was a rock-and-roll band from Italy that was blowing up around the world I was like, 'Really? Come on.' Then when I saw them play live I was blown away. They are unapologetically loud, unapologetically sexy, and unapologetically rocking and deserve to be one of the standard bearers for rock-and-roll for a younger generation."
