Dont Complain Take The Pain

The lyrics goeth thusly:

Dogmatist insistence, compromise persistence
Poisonous necessities, extinction resistance
Merry Gerry-pandering, oblique meandering
Moments of clarity, hipsterous dexterity
Contraphobic sanity, Ponderous calamity
Peripheral profanity, Stat-packed insanity
Throwaway connectiveness, ultra-bright defectiveness
Nominated reprobate, virtuous advocate

Deceptive conformity, emotional deformity
Factual ambiguity, intellectual nudity 
Off the shelf pomposity, counterfeited prudity
Border-line depravity, empathetic cavity
Hand-wrung gesturing, half-baked posturing
Blame game moronity, stupefied stubbornity
Blinkered conformity, dubious patternity

They’re laughing at you 

Wall to wall stupidity, stupefied community
Working, working tirelessly, optimist futility 
Easy sell simplicity, smugnorant complicity
Manipulated ignorance, proudly flaunted bigot-trance 
Cheer the nicely spoken thief, Kick the gift horse in the teeth, 

They’re laughing at you, because you want it to be true

Back with a jazz original entitled We're Counting On You, a plea for everyone to wear and encourage mask wearing.  I'm joined by two simply outstanding guitarists - Stephan "Pinner" Lipinski on guitar and Daniele Petrocchi on electric bass.   What exceptional musicians and as always, a real treat to be playing with them.  Follow their great music:

The confusion, the conflict...

“this is not a crime against the state
it is merely a misdemeanour of the heart
a fine how-do-you-do, a merry dance
this is clearly the chaos of romance

this is not a crime against the state
such a skirmish fuelled by jealousy of the heart
here within a time to bide and wait
forget the fuss, the ballyhoo in plain sight

a china tea cup storm, a flash in the pan
costs so dearly foolish impoverished man
this is not a crime against the state
disorder rules the day”
