Thankfully there aren’t that many lyrics to Fentanyl but my first go is:

How sweet it is to get hate from you x2

Touch no-one they’re the enemy x 3

(Big bit I can make nothing of)

Bless you / press you / pressure ? X 3

How sweet it is to get lights from you x 2

In my eyes you’re the enemy x 3

Turn/torture your lights down..........never sure

Bless you / press you / pressure  x 3 x 2

 

I think it’s “trust no-one, they’re the enemy”, but thanks for the first try, helped me decipher a lot of stuff 😅

Nah Fink wouldn't be writing about Amanda :PI think it just refers to the car (the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am)

Not that she is but you should say "Amanda is trans" (not "is a trans") if you don't want to be insulting to trans people just FYI

thx for the tip. As you can see my french-english translator was wrong this time.

Trans Ams were the coolest muscle cars of the eighties. Everyone wanted one.

The Trams Am makes me think of the “Smokey and the Bandit” movie.

Wow, great EP! Definitely love Fentanyl and Ivankkka the most. I wish they would cut the intro to IIAN, though.

Same it's too long, and it's not the good enough to be labeled weird (it's just not good).

Amanda is an extremely popular name.   I have an ex named Amanda, and no I didn't just do it because I'm a Green Day nerd, haha.  

It's possible Fink has an ex-Amanda too.    She may be the reason for the whole feud between the bands! 

I am generally not a fan of EPs, but this one is what I needed to change that.    I've always been a whole album guy, but I'm adapting to the new way the music world works and Trans AM is a perfect Extended Play. 

Much of the speculation on here is about Money Money 2020 coming out before American Idiot, and what Green Day could be on the verge of creating.    

I hope that what this band does inspires the guys and gets the gears working, but that the end product is not the same as last time.

I want the Network and Green Day to evolve parallel to each other, and for neither to stay stagnant.   

Would I be the happiest person on earth if tomorrow Green Day announced AMERICAN IDIOT PART 2?   Oh man, I'd lose it.   I'd have to just get off GDA for a while I'd be freaking out.    

BUT.     I want Album 14 to surprise me with it's creativity.  

Remember when Billie said bands that take breaks come back and they're not as good?    The Network proved him wrong.    This EP is a good indicator that The Network II is going to be a banger.    

Green Day should feel a little bit of pressure to outperform these guys.   They might just have a hit this time around.

It would be embarrassing for a little band like The Network to out chart elder statesmen like Green Day.

I tried to convince my girlfriend to name our 1st child Amanda, Jimmy, Amy, Billie, Mike, Jason, Jakob, Joey (not anymore), damn even Whatsername and she said no to everything.

Try some Network themed names.   

Reto, Spike, Joe Robot.  X-Ray Hamburger is pretty unique.      Mini Tarantula Named Booze is even more original.   

I think I need to listen to the EP again.   Goodbye.

That’s because you didn’t try Fink, The Snoo, or Van Gough. Drop those lame GD references and use some Church approved saint names.
