Overview

Cuomo first mentioned the song's title and shared lyrics on his Discord server on June 6, 2022. A month prior, a snippet of the song was shared as the background music of a video on Cuomo's TikTok account.

Despite its appearance on the summer-themed SZNZ album, "Lawn Chair" interpolates the melody from the Largo movement of the "Winter" (L'inverno) concerto from The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi.

A demo of "Lawn Chair" was leaked online in December of 2022.

Lyrics

Album version Cool, kicking back in your lawn chair You summon Gabriel and Michael Hey guys, we should torture the humans Yes, why don’t we do it For our entertainment 'Cause heaven is so dull Too many grapes Too many harps Too many smiles Not enough weeping They’ll suffer so that we can feel emotional release Well I’m gonna stand up and call you out You’re a punk-ass, oh my god, there is no doubt Unsatisfied with rain, you made tears And threw out your baby expecting we’d praise ye And worship your name in a song Now she’s choking back the tears (please tell us why) Now she’s gasping for her breath (please tell us why) 'Cause she didn’t ever hurt no one

Demo version Cool, kicking back in your lawn chair You beckon Gabriel and Michael Hey, guys, we should torture the humans Yes, why don't we do it For our entertainment 'Cause heaven is so dull Too many grapes Too many harps Too much of peace Not enough weeping They'll suffer so we can feel emotional release Well, I'm gonna stand up and call you out You're a punk, oh my God, there is no doubt Unsatisfied with rain, you made tears And put down a baby expecting we'd praise ye And worship your name in a song It's been really hard to watch her while she's sobbing It's been really hard to watch her while she's sobbing 'Cause she didn't ever hurt no one
