Working
Aging
Working
Aching
Tired
And raging
All the time

Grafting
Grinding
Lifting
Mining
Contract binding
All of your time

Wage me, master
Kill me faster
Call me a bastard
All of the time

Surplus earnings
Used for purging
Love and learning
Waste my time

Work me
Tax me
Fine me
Watch me
Arrest me
Exploit me
Defame me
Then kill me

Forests burning
Ghettos burning
Bodies burning
All the time

Fucking
Fighting
Premium pricing
Always trying
To buy more time

Sleeping
And grazing
Scrolling
Gazing
Sacrificing
Precious time

Gangsters lying
Children dying
Washing crimes
From bloody hands

Stealing resources
Sending forces
Redrawing borders
Genocide

Sons and daughters
Send them to slaughter
Following orders
Paid for their time

Reading the papers
Proud of the nation
Fuck education
Waste of time

Work me
Tax me
Fine me
Watch me
Arrest me
Exploit me
Defame me
Then kill me

So. This track has had a few different versions flying around. I initially released it as a demo recorded solely through my computer whilst at uni. But whilst doing a music production course, I decided that I would try my hand at recording a few songs by analogue with the brilliant band members that joined me on the Johnny Black project. Here's the result.

It's a song that I wrote at the time being fascinated by the film Donnie Darko. I was channelling a fair bit of angst and darkness, as with what came with the very first version of the Johnny Black persona. People recieved it quite well, the song and the look - the look didn't stick, because it was just very artificial and long hair generally becomes a nuisance for me after a while. I quite like to shake it up every now and then too.

I've been fluttering in and out of making music for the past 12 months, which has been really good for me alongside exploring other things that are meaningful to me.

In the process, I noticed that a theme was recurring throughout some of the songs I was writing. I seem to have an underlying grudge against televisions. So, I started to write a story... which I'm still writing of course. Then it hit me! I could make a musical.

Maybe in a couple of years, I'll have a full story for this, as well as a script for a musical and a full repertoire of songs to go with it too. For now, though, here is a taster, with four songs which represent the beginning, the middle, and the end of the story.

Track 1 - I Just Want You To Play Football With Me: The story begins with a boy, Johnny, who struggles for attention from his father, who is always preoccupied with either his phone or the television watching football (2003: roughly around the time the UK pulled out of their murderous regime in Iraq).

Track 2 - Cracked: Fast forward to (undecided year) in a dystopia where screens dominate every aspect of life; where you pay for almost everything via adverts. Eventually, Johnny starts to lose it, and this marks his awakening after meeting The League of Antitelevisionaries.

Track 3 - Andromeda: Johnny utilises a psychedelic substance which triggered his awakening, which allows one to explore other realms and envision what life could have been like; what it was, and surprisingly how the population's reality had been changed beyond recognition or memory. This substance will be distributed through the water to trigger the second, and, hopefully successful, mass awakening.

Track 4 - The War On Television: The day of the battle. The people have risen. The people have tears of joy, and swathes of rage. Today, they will declare themselves the nation.
