Fans were quick to pick up on the relevance of the duck emoji because as we know, this is Waterparks and nothing is accidental.

The band also dropped the track “Watch What Happens Next” with an accompanying music video (directed by Knight himself) that you can watch below!

“Watch What Happens Next” lyrics:

I wanna be a millionaire before I’m 30
But saying that out loud is probably gonna hurt me.
Got nothing from our label.
Bitch, pay me what you owe me.
If you play guitar you can’t want things
And if you really love me,
You should want the best for me.
Everyone is sad when
When bands break up,
Well, guess guess guess guess what?
They’re defeated as fuck.
Shamed out of money
By their own culture
Nice to fucking meet you,
Let’s get a little see-though.
(Watch What Happens Next)

I like cool shirts
I like cold rings
I want a big house
I want nice things.
I want jet packs for all my friends
That want a big house
And want nice things.

You don’t love me the same.
It’s such a fucking shame
I don’t deserve as much
As all your pop faves.
You wanna hear my art
But only on your terms
So learn these fucking words.

I like cool shirts
I like cold rings
I want a big house
I want nice things.
I want jet packs for all my friends
That want a big house
And want nice things.

I don’t think people realize
How they’re fucking us up.
I put autotune on Worst and
Caught all their disgust.
Hip hop can do what—
-ever it wants
Like make country songs
And hit number one
And that’s fucking awesome,
We could never do that.
All the fans that like us need an easy fucking format.
They would boo that.
They’d abuse that.
It’s a cultural hold-back.

Let me get this straight,
You want a say in
How well I live,
If my life’s okay.
Do I get a car?
Hope it’s not too nice,
Tell me what you’re comfortable with and I’ll comply.
Can I pay rent?
(Sure but not much else)
Can I try new sounds?
(Go fuck yourself)
Tell me what I get
Tell me what I earn
Tell me all the things you want
And I will give up me for you.

I like cool shirts
I like cold rings
I want a big house
I want nice things.
I want jet packs for all my friends
That want a big house
And want nice things.

You don’t love me the same.
It’s such a fucking shame
I don’t deserve as much
As all your pop faves.
You wanna hear my art
But only on your terms
So learn these fucking words.
You don’t love me the same
It’s such a fucking shame
I’ll never be enough
Until it’s too late.
You wanna hear my art
But only on your terms
So learn these fucking words:

I like cool shirts
I like cold rings
I want a big house
I want nice things.
I want jet packs for all my friends
That want a big house
And want nice things.
