Den of Thieves track #3: 'Fear Machine'
How I spent my Labor Day....
Dead brain, dead eyes, tellin' them big lies
Hopin' that the world buys the shit they sell
Right wing think tank, radio hate crank
Makin' that big bank and raisin' hell
Treat you like a nitwit, better get over it
They're stupid and proud of it cause they don't care
Rights on a rollback, country on the wrong track
You know they got theirs, Jack and they won't share
They all talk about freedom
But they treat it like it's so obscene
They're workin' hard to keep you distracted
When all else fails, they crank up the Fear Machine
Johnny's in the basement shredding all the documents
Someday soon gonna wonder where your rights went
Don't ask, don't know, do it cause we say so
One bad word and we'll ship you off to Gitmo
You might be a terrorist, put you on the blacklist
A friendly little arm twist, that's okay
Their law, their rules, treat you like a damn fool
Serving you the same gruel every day
(Chorus)
Wake up, stand straight, shout out, demonstrate
Hope we're not too late to turn around
Rise up, fight back, never cut 'em no slack
Only way to take it back is beat them down
We're right, they're wrong, better when they're all gone
Wanna fight, bring it on cause we ain't scared
Think you got the fight won, sorry but you're wrong, son
Better watch your back cause we're everywhere
(Chorus)

I wish the file quality were better, but I really like this song. The lyrics, the vocals, the music, especially the guitar. Well done.

Joe,
If the file quality was better, then how could I expect you to buy the CD when it's done? ;)
Glad you like it.

That's kind of what I meant to say. I wouldn't mind paying to get a good version of that song.

Jesus, IT'S ALIVE! Rock. Rock.
Roll with the punches and fight back. How do I buy. But I better not hear your voice on a corporate advertisement. Meet the new boss, he IS the old boss. Who is not even worth the pronoun!
Has anyone rerecorded "Eve of Distruction"?
An old man waking
