about

I can't deny that at points this album is overtly "political." However, I abhor the term, "political." Its connotation carries a tremendous weight. I digress. This is the first obviously "political" song on the album (you had to wait until track 2). It's also the first song containing a sample. Extra points go to those that identify the source.

Musically, I wanted to provide the melody with a lot of space and repetition. We haven't been successful with either concept in the past. Joel (drums) still complains about the space between the "sample" and 3rd verse.

lyrics

The media eye can't get by one man's prick.
Shimmering shiny gets them distracted.
Did you know, did you know they're selling whatever you want to buy?

Let's celebrate the fat man's meal.
When he's big enough to burst we can eat
That was the deal.
Did you know, did you know they're planning to let you die?

The kids are praying to a president.
Who's laying the ink for another Common Sense?
"Get them out, get them out!" The children shout!
"No Sharia! No Sharia!"

We prefer chemical veils
To conceal age and darken what's already pale.
"Get them out, get them out!" The Christians shout!
"No Sharia! No Sharia!"
