Incubus - Agoraphobia (rec bass guitar)

Me performing "Talk Shows on Mute" by Incubus
Off the A Crow Left of the Murder album
also known as the "1984" song
references the Orwell book about big brother
some think there is a subtle drug undertone as the words in the chorus
Come
One
Come
All
Into
Nineteen
Eighty-four
spell the word "cocaine"....who knows?!? Enjoy!!

Talk Shows on Mute (1984) - Incubus

Live version of Sick Sad Little World by my favorite band, Incubus

Incubus - Sick Sad Little World (Live)

Lyrics 

Got that raw power, watch me hit the line
Cranked up thunder, gonna make it mine
High voltage running, straight through my spine
Watch my kingdom rise, gonna make it shine

When the thunder rolls, I just want it more
Got that power surge right through my core
Watch me dominate, hear the engines roar
While they hesitate, I'm kickin' down doors


Rock after rock, we don't stop
(Keep it thunderin', keep it thunderin')
Straight to the stage, straight to the top
(Rock it, rock it)
Volume so loud, it can't drop
(Blast it, blast it)
This is my time, watch me rock
[BOOM]


Feel the amplifiers, cranked to the max
While they're sitting quiet, I'm layin' tracks
Got the power chord spreading like attacks
To the stage I own, dropping battle acts

From the garage up, now I'm blastin' up
Got that guitar scream like I'm lawless now
They don't understand how I claimed this crown
But I'm rockin' hard through this wild town


Rock after rock, we don't stop
(Keep it thunderin', keep it thunderin')
Straight to the stage, straight to the top
(Rock it, rock it)
Volume so loud, it can't drop
(Blast it, blast it)
This is my time, watch me rock
[BOOM]


Can't stop this sound (what?)
How I shake the ground (yeah)
Every riff we pound (rock)
Just to blast it out (loud)
Watch it amplify (grow)
Like a battle cry (know)
This ain't no surprise (nah)
This is how we ride (roll)


Rock after rock, we don't stop
(Keep it thunderin', keep it thunderin')
Straight to the stage, straight to the top
(Rock it, rock it)
Volume so loud, it can't drop
(Blast it, blast it)
This is my time, watch me rock
[BOOM]


Thunderstrike - REMASTERED - HD

Oh CHARLIE

Text:
(Verse 1)
You cheered for tax cuts, big and bold,
But your logic’s ice where empathy’s cold.
They said it’s for families, a middle-class cheer—
But it’s billionaires laughing while your voice disappears.
Medicaid’s crumbling, ACA's taking hits,
Snatching care from fragile lives bit by bit.
The rich get richer, while the rest are stripped—
What’s a promise when so many get skipped?

(Pre-Chorus)
You call it freedom, I call it theft,
Taking lifelines—from people left bereft.

(Chorus)
No coverage, no conscience, doesn’t anyone see?
Your “beautiful bill” writes history’s mockery.
Millions lose their health—yet it’s never enough,
No coverage, no conscience, that’s realpolitik’s bluff.

(Solo)

(Verse 2)
12 million kicked off Medicaid’s floor —
Doctors turned away, hope’s at the door. 
CBO’s numbers say it slows no tempo,
17 million lose coverage—watch that divide grow. 
While hospitals choke on unpaid bills,
Families crushed under care’s cold mills.

(Pre-Chorus)
They say "We’re saving budgets, fighting waste,"
But there’s no price when this move kills grace.

(Chorus)
No coverage, no conscience, stories don’t lie,
Real people scream in the night while the rest walk by.
A future in tatters—but your coffers rise,
No coverage, no conscience—see through their disguise.

(solo)

(Bridge)
The “Big Beautiful Bill” rewrites our fate—
But the pen’s in one hand; the real cost’s the plate. 
While they claim mercy and fairness reign,
They slash safety nets—and feel no shame.

(Final Chorus)
No coverage, no conscience, this feast leaves us stripped,
They feast at our table while our lifelines get clipped.
12 million gone, 17 million more—this lie’s not benign,
No coverage, no conscience—when will justice align?

(Outro – Spoken, resigned)
You built it for the rich, with "freedom" divine—
But the rest? We just see headlines… while our rights decline.
