The strength and quotability of her lyrics-from rap punchlines to elegantly tooled extended metaphors-is a hallmark of Dessa's work. \"Camelot\" is one of the few explicitly political songs in her catalog. In 2 minutes and 53 seconds she sketches the contours of a troubling American zeitgeist, delivers a chorus that's both haunting and catchy, and comments on the tendency of consumer culture to breed apathy (That's the thing about the lap of luxury - the lap of luxury can't stand up). \"Camelot\" calls attention to the irreconcilability of two facets of the national self-concept: a) America is a miraculous shining city on a hill; and b) the neighbors are dangerous and crazy. The song doesn't scold or preach, which was important to Dessa who says, \"I hate being lectured. I assume most listeners do too. This song doesn't aim to teach anybody anything-I think most of us know better already. It's about trying to rally the nerve to act on our best impulses. \"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Tough Call \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Camelot\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dessa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42271473532999,"sku":"45766107","price":12.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4477817-3497689.jpg?v=1764849015","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/dessa-tough-call-camelot-7-inch-single","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
