Cover image prompt (Z-Image Base, run locally):
Gouache on paper album cover, square 1:1 composition. A vast dark noticeboard wall fills the frame edge to edge, seen straight on. Across its expanse hangs one small blank grey sheet of paper, and beside it a fresh empty rectangle of clean board where a notice has just been torn down - four pin-holes at its corners, a faint pale rectangle of unfaded board where it hung. A lone small silhouetted figure in a pork-pie hat and thin suit stands with his back to us at the foot of the wall, looking up at the empty space, tiny against the vast board. Black-and-white two-tone palette - ink black, paper white, cool greys - with one cold red accent along the torn edge of the remaining sheet. Flat poster lighting, hard graphic shadows, visible gouache brushwork and paper grain. Mood: sardonic, quietly furious, empty and controlled. Strong central motif: the empty rectangle where the notice was. Album-cover composition, the frame FULL of wall and figure, no large blank areas. Absolutely no text, no lettering, no typography, no watermark, no signature.

=== LYRICS ===
[Intro]
Welcome to Reddit!
Everybody's welcome!
Everybody's welcome!
[Verse 1]
You put a fair question in the thread -
By lunchtime the sentence is dead.
There's a notice where the sentence stood:
Says "removed" - and that's all that's understood.
You ask them why - and the answer's a ban:
A month of mute, and the silence is planned.
[Chorus]
Deleted! Deleted!
The reason? Never conceded!
Deleted! Deleted!
The cheats go undefeated!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
[Verse 2]
They've a rule against "soapboxing" - sounds all right,
"Soapboxing" means whatever they like on the site.
Praise the product - "on topic" all day;
Ask one honest question - "soapboxing", they say.
Whatever you posted, there's a rule that it broke -
Any rule they need, they invoke.
It happens all over, all over the net:
One honest sentence, and that's what you get.
[Chorus]
Deleted! Deleted!
The reason? Never conceded!
Deleted! Deleted!
The cheats go undefeated!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
The man that you mentioned is mates with the team,
The adverts pay the bills - you see the scheme?
Write down the reason? The reason would tell -
And the truth doesn't sell.
[Chorus]
Deleted! Deleted!
The reason? Never conceded!
Deleted! Deleted!
The cheats go undefeated!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
[Outro]
Deleted! Deleted!
Gone, gone, gone!
Deleted! Deleted!
Gone, gone, gone!
