Den of Thieves track #3: 'Fear Machine'

How I spent my Labor Day....

http://www.blah3.com/dot/fear-machine.mp3

1. 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

2. 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)

3. 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)

So what's your plan for getting it out there?

...hopefully by end of year, then sell it over the web. Although I've got some connections in the music industry (I was signed to Warner Bros. in the early 90s), the industry is in such horrible shape a guy like me won't be able to get a deal with this material.

And if the TBTM Empire continues to grow (it could happen!), then I'll prolly work out something to make TBTM an outlet for the CD.

Translation: I'm winging it. ;)

:D

to get this out there. After all, look how far your messages have gotten so far.

I just found a new favorite song.

Did anybody else at least listen? Post your thoughts here to keep this up there for awhile. A little support for one of our own, please. :-)

I start recording the next one tonight. I'll post when it's done.

Thanks for the encouragement! I appreciate it.
