about

Recorded on a Fostex digital 8-track. My first falsetto.

lyrics

Don't ask a Mason to rebrick a thick, evasive red brick wall
And all those decent people trading fear for menace under God

Too bad your microscopic science lost its foothold on the plot
Or how creative people traded in their paradise for lust

Turn in your tax receipts, deceits and measures of your weightless pounds
As far as I'm concerned you burned the kettle reaching for the pot

Cliche society
Mired in high school hyperbole, I
Must have tried a million times, but I
Still can't collect the prize
