about

I wrote this shortly after 9/11, astounded at the nation we had become administered by fools and full of greed. Apparently I was correct.

lyrics

I'm waiting for the storm to bring
a cleansing tide to the shores we sing
We sit alone, it was us two
sunlit island with a killer view
My wine, a stain in your carpet
This dime is all that I carry
It's time to batten down hatches
and lock you inside
Criticize, don't learn
Agonize, not figure it out
Let the blood, it's my turn
to turn the knife
Rich blood
Get off your phone while you're driving
You're so impatient
take take take take
You wear a front when you can't fake what you do
Rich blood
