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

Appearances
- SZNZ: Summer (2022)
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.[1]
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.[2]
A demo of "Lawn Chair" was leaked online in December of 2022.

Lyrics
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
