Suddenly Struck

Those pictures on the wall
Should not be hanging there 
I tell you they must fall
Strap the criminal to the chair

Then pull the switch and pray
For an end to what's impure
And carts the ones away
Who cause our thoughts to stir

Because we know what's right
And we must have our way
And to that end we'll fight
Until the judgement day

Those books in all the schools
Have no business being there
With words for "godless" fools
And subjects that raise our hair
Let's stack them in a pile
And torch our fears away
Be rid of all that's vile
At last we'll have our say

Because we know what's right
And we must have our way 
And to that end we'll fight
Until the judgement day

Constitution burning
No one seems to care
Our fragile planet turning
Her fabric starts to tear
The fire is glowing brighter
We'll surely burn our skin
Unless we shoot the water
The ignorant will win

Those people over there
They don't act a bit like us
They really make us swear
They're such an awful fuss
Take aim and duck below
This time it's not a drill
Get ready, get set, go
At last it's time to kill

Because we know what's right
And we must have our way
And to that end we'll fight
Until the judgement day

More Than Enough

We live in the land of plenty
Take what we can 'til empty
Why can't we have another day?
Why can't we find another way?

I'm running away from envy
I'm finding a way to think "we"
I'm saying goodbye to older ways
I'm holding my breath for better days

It's more than enough, more than we need
Are we just victims of greed
It's all just too much, can't go on anymore
What are we waiting for?

I noticed the TV told me
We're going down faster lately
How can we stare the other way?
How do we stay another day?

Caught up in a downward spiral
A risk to our own survival
You're counting the days before it's gone
You're stuck in a phase before the dawn

It's more than enough, more than we need
Are we just victims of greed?
It's all just too much, can't go on anymore
What are we waiting for?

More Than Enough

There's no one to save us
We're on our own and all alone
Why do they want to sedate us?
With simple lies and sewn up eyes

Now I realize
That you haven't got a clue
That we've been changing over time
And our links aren't missing you

So you want to run my life
With cartoon clowns in cult-like gowns
And when the sky isn't falling
You run and hide or suicide

Now I realize
That you haven't got a clue
That we've been changing over time
And our links aren't missing you

You always think you know what is
But you don't know what to ask when
You sheltered symptom of disease
The one you'll die for on your knees

Now I realize
That you haven't got a clue
That we've been changing over time
And our links aren't missing you

You always think you know what is
But you don't know what to ask when
You sheltered symptom of disease
The one you'll pray for on your knees

You Don't Know

Tiniest Human

Orange is the color of his thinning skin
Hair spun up to hide his balding head
He’s never wrong with every loss another win
Until he blows it up and we’re all dead

I’m resisting, I just say no way
He’s  persisting, no more due processing today
He’s the tiniest human

Billionaires are buying votes and breaking things
While most of us just struggle to survive
A wrecking ball and big chainsaw wait in the wings
How much longer can we stay alive?

I’m resisting, I just say no way
He’s  persisting, no more due processing today
He’s the tiniest human

He dreams of fascist kings and segregated lives
When might made right without the rule of law
It seems that there’s no limit to the depths he dives
When will he break this fragile world’s last straw?

I’m resisting, I just say no way
He’s persisting, no more due processing today
He’s the tiniest human

Living

The earth is warming
What more could go wrong?
The ozone's thinning
Why bother going on?
Our fingers pulling
The trigger of the gun
Our time is coming
There's no place left to run

And we ride the wave
Our destiny unfolds
With so much at stake
Our way of living's got to change

The rain is burning
What difference does it make?
The fish are floating
Why don't you eat your steak?
The trees are falling
What splendid open space
The air is browning
Strap a mask across your face

And we ride the wave
Our destiny unfolds
With so much at stake
Our way of living's got to change

Don't give up now
There's shelter from the rain
Although that light at tunnel's end might be a train

The waste is piling
What's left to throw away?
The earth is dying
What's on TV today?
Our leaders spewing
What progress they have made
Why bother voting?
Unless you have them paid

Living

First piece I did with my new drums modules and my new rack (which allowed me to finally use all my modules). The Tiptop Audio BD808, SD808, and HAT808 plus MI Grids provide the rhythm section. MI Rings and Make Noise STO, driven by a Turing Machine bring you tonal support. ALM Pamela's New Workout, MI Branchs, Befaco Burst, XAOC Devices Xadar, and Abstract Data's ADE-32 are also helping out a bunch..

Transitions

Social Contractor is the first single release from The Social Contractors, a new band formed at the start of the global pandemic in March of 2020.

It was written and produced by Jason Edward Davies and Joshua Adam Golden (who also did the cover art and band logo). We wrote this just days before the shelter in place went into effect for the coronavirus pandemic.. 

Social Contractor

I shook the hand of a social contractor
Perpetuating a pandemic disaster
It's on your hand it's in your hair
Just don't breathe, breathe in the air

Lock yourself away and I'll see you online
Sanitize your screen, I've already wiped mine
You coughed in my face like I wasn't there
Will I make it long enough to get medicare?
Will I make it long enough to get medicare?

Serial liar, hand sanitizer
Stuck at the border, complying with order

Is the planet's solution to civilization, 
A massive extinction from socialization?

Serial liars, hand sanitizers
Stuck at the border, complying with orders

They tell me to enter, check in at the center, touch your hand to the screen
They tell me to enter, check in at the center, touch your hand to the screen
But keep your face clean
