The Madness Of King George

Lyrics:
Don't you bend when they say when
Ditch your friends if they look down
Its there fault for falling for
The oldest ploy the golden toys we
Don't really need at all at all
Don't really need at all at all

You cant blend please don't pretend
Near the end when they fall down
Its there fault for falling for
The oldest ploy the golden toys we
Don't really need at all at all
Don't really need at all at all

There's a little friction when you know whats missing
All that time you wasted going around knowing better
Could have done more so many chores what's it all for
Now it ends so casually lets pretend your mad at me

It's the same addiction I'm no good at kicking
Endless time was wasted going around knowing better
Could have done more so many chores what's it all for
Now it ends so casually lets pretend your mad at me
Now it ends so casually don't extend this agony

Don't hit send when they defend 
Different trends that they put down
Its there fault for falling for
The oldest ploy the golden toys we
Don't really need at all at all
Don't really need at all at all

You wont blend please don't descend 
Just de-friend when they fall down
Its there fault for falling for
The oldest ploy the golden toys we
Don't really need at all at all
Don't really need at all at all

You might think its fiction but that's how were living
Endless contemplation going around knowing better
Could have done more so many chores what's it all for
Now it ends so casually lets pretend your mad at me

Now I know your giving all those things you bring in
Endless summer wasting going around knowing better
Could have done more so many chores what's it all for
Now it ends so casually lets pretend your mad at me
Now it ends so casually lets prevent that agony

I know how it goes...

I know my only way around
I'll go where they wont make it loud
I'm done with making you so proud
I can't just work it out

We're living in Americoma! What's the problem?

Americoma

Another Phlogiston (Gregg Gavitt and Kim Christie) sensation.  Been working on this for 9 years, averaging once every 3 years for about a week.  The vision moves at its own pace.
This is the first tune in which I become a guitar.  It'll become a great example of work from Gregg's 'Lockdown get down' period.

Any resemblance in the vocal melody to Supertramp's 'Breakfast in America' is entirely subliminal.  As any fule no there ain't nothing new under the sun.
