Overhead 02:25
Do you ever wonder where I’ve been? I’ve been falling behind. Pushing paper, waving pens–just killing some time. Slow to put my two cents in, slow to speaking my mind. But really what's the difference when opinion turns on a dime? Are the lights on? What’s it look like? Cash, card, debit, or check: I'm paying overhead. Grow up and at ‘em supple skin out under sun. Come on put your back in it, there’s work to be done. No, it was never meant to end this way, though adolescence was fun. Now every day that passes is just another day gone. Are the lights on? What’s it look like? Cash, card, debit, or check: I'm paying overhead. Leave the lights on, grumbled "goodnights." Cash, card, debit, or check: I'm paying overhead.

Bottom Line 03:29
Pay up on the first of the month! Yeah, I know “it’s been tough” making ends meet this year. So, now what? What the fuck? Go to work, or give up? Folded hands shuffled in with lost time. That’s the bottom line. How hard should it be to catch up with your needs? Are you glad to be young, to feel free? If you don’t, do you care? Is it right, was it fair? Is this your cross to bear, is it mine? That’s the bottom line. Help gets harder, and it's harder to find: that’s the bottom line. These scraps are too small to divide: that’s the bottom line. Raised up by a dream since expired. If that’s the bottom line, then we’re up on a beam.

about

Pollard is the solo project of Kyle Wayne Luck (f.k.a. Oliver Houston). Born and raised in rural Michigan, Luck recently left the rust belt for an office job in Brooklyn, New York. Self-effacingly described as "cubicle punk," Pollard's first offering Two Cents occupies the esoteric space between principle and practice. One side reluctant acceptance, the other belligerent resistance, Two Cents is the sound of an advanced degree in critical theory shouldering the monotony of 9-to-5 American existence. Against the devastating backdrop of raging wildfires, failing power grids, and a deadly pandemic, Luck's aims are cast into sharper relief: what will we make of the time we are given? How does economic inequality unravel societies? And when will we have had enough?
