okay, it worked (ish)

Well, uh, i can't figure out why all the tunes start playing at the same time, but if you haven't done so already, just pause them all, or listen to them all at once....your choice.

LYRICS

song 6:

an end to all meanings/ they've got us choking down pills for hope/ my peers all stare in wide eyed amusement/ they say I'm reading too far into things/ taking shit too seriously/ your beauty looks hideous to me/ is that a problem/ I won't wait and see/you see/ I know you're detached from the world outside of your life/ you'll never understand why I stay awake at night/ but when your words don't translate to actions/ we're no fucking threat/ just more of the same

sit down/shut up/remember/ that you're only a threat to the voices/ in your head

this provides no end/ just a fucking means/ are we all cowards/ as docile as we seem to be/ it may sound stupid/ something new to comprehend/ but actions are required/ to back up what we have said.

song 5:

300 feet for a few fucking inches/ please tell me who's progress/ because we all know who's winning/ stripmines and bulldozers/ unhindered/ you know they'd pave the whole mountain range

no cheap product is worth this destruction/ except to the electric companies/ full of corruption/ dollars fill their pockets but they haven't got the time/ to think about the environmental impact /or that they're taking human lives.

so we've got cheap power in our homes/ when the destruction is in another state/ it's easy to disown/ not enough houses/ not enough cars/ to justify a life free from displacement or harm

so we've got cheap power in our homes/ when the destruction is in another state/ it's easy to disown/ preach your economics to the people of bartow/ where cancer exists/ in one out of four homes

song 4:

strike back at those who struck us down/ no remorse/ for those who pushed us underground/ cross me off/ i'll fucking cut you out/ they taught us to live in shackles/ they aren't hard to live without/across my life/ you arrogantly strut/ their searchlight peers through my padlocked door/ surveillance has become the norm/ all eyes on those/ who step off the tracks/ I swear to god I'll die before their searchlight ever spies my tracks/ across my life/ you arrogantly strut

so I'm out/ I'm getting out
your world looks to me like a chopping block/ and I'm sick and fucking tired of getting my throat cut/ your world looks to me like a chopping block/ not one more day/ of keeping my mouth shut.

song 2:

I spit on your imagined histories/ formed into ties that bind me/ ignorance continued in the name of tradition/ while all deviance undertaken for the hammer and sickle/ out of fear we stay docile/ out of stupidity we ignore the facts/ we keep the blinders on our eyes/ smelling a rat/ but we still believe their lies/ "these are the times that try men's souls"/ rebellion shot down/ in the name of traditions/ only fifty years old/ so you label me a communist/ a traitor to my land/ while you claim the title patriot/ wrap yourself in the flag/ empty rhetoric and semantics turn the public on us/ and you paint the crosshairs on my back/ march me to your gallows of tired beliefs/ there is nowhere I can go to find some relief.

first post/recordings

So, this is my first post on here...let's see if I can get some recordings up...these should be put out on tape within the distant (or not so distant future).
