Time to get off the roller coaster ride
It's time to head for the hills and hide.
There's a Red Dawn, it's for real. 

Fuzzy rubbs, fuzzy ducks,
fuzzy guitars.  Think I give a fuck?
Turn up the gain, it's starting to rain,
turn up the gain, it's causing aural strain.

Turn up the carrot.  You'll have to grin and
bare it.  Let go of your trash.  Stop scratching
that rash. 

Paying in cash?  That will be 50% higher. 
Paying cards?  Well, did you mow the yard?

Time to get off, this roller coaster ride...
you've been paying taxes, all your damn life. 
Can't you feel your head in misery? 
Climbing a rung less corporate ladder. 

Now they own your 401k.
Expecting you to be their slave.
You could work at waffle house.
work at waffle house.
You better make sure you
Just stay away from Margies blouse.
Just stay away from Margies blouse.

Whirly gig around the sky.
Your crazy laugh rises high
one thing is for sure.

Pay up, pay up peasants.
Pay up from the ass peasants.
Pay up.

We got horses to feed.
We got horses to feed.
We gotta shoot some pheasants.
Here is something for you jack.
It ain't forgiveness.
Well I got news for you pal.

One of five rocks from a slingshot
gonna drop you from on high.
One of five rocks from a slingshot
gonna drop you from on high.

Doom laden feel to the music on this. Dark and forboding. Nice vocal delivery and echo used well. The lyrics work well with the feel of the music. Good job Stephen!

Farrell Jackson

Great words Stephen! I like the dark theme that the keys bring to it. Cool vocals and your guitars keep it rockin'. The bass work just caught my attention...good stuff there! The bass and drums are nice and tight. Well done!

Cool production and arranging, Stephen. I like the dark sinister vibe that fits well with the lyrical content. Your songs are always interesting and different.

Life is not about the number of Breathes you take, it is the amount of times your breathe is taken away

DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee

This sounds awesome Stephen. Has an 80's rock feel to it. Gives me a feel of 80's Bowie mixed with REM. The music and vocals are brilliant. The lead guitar licks are very good. Love the keyboard and the drumming is exceptional. Really catchy song.
