(lyrics)

It’s time that we listen 
Bout what we’re not doin right
Compassion becoming a rarity
America needs therapy 

Dont change the message, 
there’s a reason Kaepernick took a knee
Aint bout disrespecting no flag, 
you just chose to ignore his plea
Now this is what we see

I’m tired, you tired
When we gonna see some change
You sad, I’m sad
And all we do is blame
She’s mad, he’s mad
They set some shit ablaze
I’m not saying that I know what to do
But my brother n sister hurtin’
And I’m here for you 

Black lives matter
I ain’t worried bout the blue right now
I can’t breathe, is gonna be the seed of change   
Grow into a beautiful flower
Its time we pay attention to
The lessons of the past
It’s right within our grasp

I’m tired, you tired
When we gonna see some change
You sad, I’m sad
And all we do is blame
She’s mad, he’s mad
They set some shit ablaze
I’m not saying that I know what to do
But I’m mad as hell,
 and you should be too

It’s time we  pay attention to
To what we ain’t doing right
Compassion is a rarity
America needs therapy

I’m tired, you tired
When we gonna see some change
You sad, I’m sad
And all we do is blame
She’s mad, he’s mad
They set some shit ablaze
I’m not saying that I know what to do
But you’re my brother sister, 
and I stand with you

It's Time

Eleven Eyes is one of Eugene’s most colorful musical institutions.  With an eye to the future and a nod to the past, Eleven Eyes creates an original brand of dance music.  The electronica-accented combination of a world-class horn section, powerful vocals, rip-roaring guitar, and a butt-bumpin' rhythm section fuses the gap between sounds that bring to mind 70's Fela, swampy New Orleans funk, Bassnecter, James Brown, and Augustus Pablo.  

Rocking Oregon and the western United States since 2002, Eleven Eyes shows no sign of slowing down, continually composing new music and reaching out to new audiences. Eleven Eyes brings the spirit of improvisation to every show, treating each tune as a point of departure for new explorations, which makes each show unique. Steeped in the jazz tradition, the Eyes are unafraid of taking risks and constantly flirt with uncertainty.  This brings an electric energy to every performance for the band and fans alike. 

Eugene’s healthy and vibrant music community has given the Eyes freedom to explore a myriad of genres.  Over the years the Eyes have refined their impulsiveness and focused on a fluid interaction between the groove and audience.  Eleven Eyes keeps the people on their feet, joining in the revelry with call n response shouts, conscious lyrical content, and mesmerizing improvisations, ethereal textures and subwoofer-destroying break beats, and next-level funk.
