    This CD is sequenced and mastered exactly as we want it to sound. Digital downloads can create annoying pauses and blips between songs that should segue smoothly. We highly recommend purchasing the CD for maximum enjoyment! So it's priced the same as the full-album download.

about

thx to Elvis Costello ("you think they're so dumb . . . ")

lyrics

Now it begins – the battle of the shirts and skins

Here is the plan, what we’ll do to the skins
Feet to the fire, make em pay for their sins
Here is the vision, what we’ll do to the shirts
Grab their equipment and squeeze till it hurts
Who stuffed the shirts
Who stiffed the skins
Why must all this fighting begin
Now it all goes wrong
Why do we never sing the same song
Walk the walk, laugh the laugh, rap the rap
Slam everybody in the same bloody trap

A message from the future – I’ll tell you what will happen

The crying nazi, the dancing grannies
Chrysanthemums waving like a thousand Orphan Annies
The dancing nazi, the crying grannies
Nation of racists turning into vigilantes
Felons and fireflies
Hung like a necklace in the night sky
Second verse, same only worse, the just deserts
Jam up the airwaves, the same MAGA hertz

Big mistake for Johnny Wide-Awake

Shirts come creeping up the rough side
Skins have it coming, taking off their hides
Play till the sun goes down
The owl of Minerva flies at twilight
Who burned the shirts
Who flayed the skins
(you think they’re so dumb, you think they’re so funny)

Who’s gonna lead the cheers?

The failing light, the high tide, the friendly skies
One last look before the magic dies
