People naturally follow, conform the majority, and this has allowed us to evolve and survive together as a species.  Throughout history it has also made groups of people vulnerable to totalitarian rule that tends to help the ruling class more than the people, when the people are complacent and don't realize their position until it is too late.  While there may be some parallels to governments in the world today, this song is inspired by this "cost of complacency" throughout history rather than any specific events today.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
No time being patient
It takes too long
rewrite history

You shall be programmed
And truth dictated
Don’t ask any questions

Chorus
(backing chorus)
Fill your mind
Or it will be filled for you
It’s the cost of complacency
And mindless conformity

Open your mind
And open your eyes
Get your head out of your ass
Avoid the cost of complacency

(over chorus)
Control what they see
Control what they read
The masses will conform
and shutdown the opposition

Each has their own truth
In their own reality
The war has started
Better run for your life (2nd time only)

Verse 2
Sides are assigned
believe as you’re told
Oppose and be censored

pawns are suppressed
Divided and conquered
Blindly fighting the war

[Chorus]

Cost of complacency

Independent artist making songs that rock.

I don’t know about you but I miss hearing songs that just rock.  A couple of guitars, bass, drums, vocals, and harmonies make such a powerful combination.  It’s this power and energy that I’m after in the songs I record.
I perform all parts on these recordings unless otherwise specified. I’m primarily a guitar player and never considered myself a singer but I started doing it to complete my songs and I may be finding a voice for myself.
I’m open to collaboration so reach out if you’d like to work on some tracks.  I don’t have any rap on my tracks, don’t listen to much rap, but I have a couple of incomplete songs I’m interested in brining some rap into.  So let me know if any of you rappers want to collaborate with a rocker.
Recording, mixing, mastering is just as much of a hobby as playing the music is.  If you’d like another ear on your mix or some mastering done, drop me a message.  I’m not looking for money for it, just the opportunity to practice my skills on other artists work, see what I can do, and help a fellow musician.
Finally, I’m looking to put together a band to see how my songs work live.  Reach out if you’re interested and in the RDU area.  Follow me on my social media links to get the latest updates on the journey and share some music and laughs.
Cheers!

About myself I have no great illusions. I know what I am. I know what I'm good at. I know what I ain't. I'm always hoping to surprise myself. But I do have a love of music and I do love to communicate it.

Holala! I'm a musician and a songwriter, so it means that music has been built into my brain and soul since birth. And I'm happy about that cause it gives me a lot of opportunities to live my life brightly and inspiringly. Actually I’m here just to give you more inspiration. Take it or leave it, but anyway it will find you somehow, somewhere around the corner of your hectic life. At least you have some time to think about it. And when you think, the magical power of your movements reposts and likes the audios🤫🤣👍

Олала! Я музикант та автор пісень (може слід правда написати згідно нових тенденцій музикантка та авторка?, але щось це ламає мій музичний настрій))Так ось, оскільки я музикант, то музика була вбудована в мій мозок і душу з самого народження. І я дуже щаслива, що це саме так, оскільки це дає мені набагато більше можливостей прожити це життя яскраво та натхненно. І тут я саме задля того аби дати вам більше натхнення. Ви можете його взяти чи залишити, але в будь-якому разі воно вас і так знайде на розі вашого буремного життя. Принаймні у вас є час на роздуми. А поки ви думаєте, магічна сила ваших рухів робить репости та ставить лайки.🤫🤣👍
