Let me tell you 'bout the first time
When we put them in reservations
We put them in reservations
Then we stole all the wealth from their nation

Now white people put themselves in gated communities
Put themselves in gated communities
To keep themselves safe from their own insecurities

Devil in the detail
Devil in the detail
Devil in the detail
Devil in the detail

When the tourists came in their droves
They made us feel like fools
They made us feel like fools
When they asked us why we never learnt to speak English at school

But the greatest trick the devil ever pulled
Was convincing the world he didn't exist
Convincing the world he didn't exist
But he's right here
The devil is right here
In the white boy system

Devil in the detail
Devil in the detail
Devil in the detail
Devil in the detail
Devil in the detail
Devil in the detail
Devil in the detail
Devil in the detail

Dub Country Essentials Vol. 1

Devil In The Detail Dub

On a desert highway
Miles of sand ahead
Beating sun and dust storms
Could this be the end

My tongue is sticking to the roof of my mouth
I have no strength to speak
All the beauty around me
Looks so bleak

As my eyelids grow heavy
I think I hear a sound
My savior has come
I will not be put in the ground

Then a biker rides up
Tells me hop on his bike
But I only hear gibberish
Like a damn jackalope

I know I'm seeing things
As my consciousness goes
The heat and the sand
They have taken their toll

Then he looks into my eyes
His gaze as cold as ice
He tells me I have nothing to fear
For he is the reaper of souls

Track from the album "Dub Country Essentials Vol. 1", previously released on the album "Devil In The Detail".

Reaper Of Souls

Reaper Of Souls Dub

We all are lonesome and brutalized
In a room my grandma cries
About the lost humanity in modern life

The streets are empty late at night
'Cause the wolves are there outside
And we all have seven keys to lock the door

This is a first step to a war
All gonna lose

My father's busy, my sister too
Just so many things to do
And we only meet on Christmas, how are you?

This is a first step to a war
All gonna lose

Track from the album "Canary In The Coalmine", 2025 remake of a demotape from the early 2000s

The river's gone
Dried up and moved on
Beneath the sun
With nothing left to run

Was once so wide
And deep down inside
Was swept away
By time and decay

And you
Too
Were swept away like a river

The land is dry
Not a cloud in the sky
Nothing left to give
And no place left to live

Nowhere to hide
And nowhere to lie
On this hard ground
It's all barren now

And you
Too
Were swept away like a river

The River's Gone Dub

Some people wanna do good
Some people wanna do bad
It's hard to tell who is who when they wear the same shoes
It's hard to tell who is who when they sing the same tune

And in a world like this
It's so hard to tell
what's black and what's white
It feels like hell
The only thing I can do is try my best
To find the light again in the darkness

I don't know what to do
And I don't know what to say
I see a future where I feel like I lost my way
I see a future where I feel like I lost my way

And in a world like this
It's so hard to tell
what's black and what's white
It feels like hell
The only thing I can do is try my best
To find the light again in the darkness
In a world like this
It's so hard to tell
what's black and what's white
It feels like hell
The only thing I can do is try my best
To find the light again in the darkness

Track from the album "Canary In The Coalmine"

Yin & Yang

She lives her life
On that little phone screen
That blue light's bright
And you can't compete
Got a brand new dress
And no one's seen it yet
Not even her friends
She can't remember them

When did she forget the real world
And the people who like her for real?
She's got a thousand people online
That like what she's postin' on Instagram
But none of them know who she is
In the real world
In the real world

When she gets a like
Her brain gets dopamine
But it don't last long
And it don't come free
The clock says four AM
And she's been scrollin' since ten
It's become her only friend
When did this all begin?

When did she forget the real world
And the people who like her for real?
She's got a thousand people online
That like what she's postin' on Instagram
But none of them know who she is
In the real world
In the real world

What you doin' on a Saturday night?
Lookin' at your screen when the time ticks by
Your friends call your phone
But you won't pick up
'Cause you'd rather be alone
Livin' in the virtual world
Livin' in the virtual world

When did she forget the real world
And the people who like her for real?
She's got a thousand people online
That like what she's postin' on Instagram
But none of them know who she is
In the real world
In the real world

Virtual Girl

Holliday was born in Georgia in eighteen fifty-one
His parents called him Johnny but he was better known
As a sharp shootin' gambler
Doc Holliday
A whiskey-drinkin'
Woman-lovin' man

Doc Holliday was a bad man
One of the baddest in the land
Runnin' with the Earp brothers
If you see him
You better run for cover
Doc Holliday was a bad man

He was raised up by his mama to be a southern gentleman
But a childhood illness changed all of her plans
So he moved out to the desert for the dry
Dry air
To treat his ailing lungs

Doc Holliday was a bad man
One of the baddest in the land
Runnin' with the Earp brothers
If you see him
You better run for cover
Doc Holliday was a bad man

He was a card-carryin'
Sharp-shootin'
Southern gentleman
Quick-drawin'
Hard-drinkin'
Gambling man
Cold-blooded
Tubercular
No-good-for-not-in outlaw
From Georgia

Doc Holliday was a bad man
One of the baddest in the land
Runnin' with the Earp brothers
If you see him
You better run for cover
Doc Holliday was a bad man

Track from the album "Dub Country Essentials Vol. 1", previously released on the album "Devil In The Detail"

Doc Holliday Dub

MADE WITH THE BEST WISHES TO VENEZUELA IN MIND

He swore on a book he never read
Plastic flag pinned to his suit
Teleprompter glow in his eyes
Saying "They’re the threat"
Maps spread out like board games
Oil fields marked in red
He points at a country he can’t pronounce
Says "Freedom starts there"

Fake president
Paper crown war
Talking like a hero from behind locked doors
You light the match
We feel the flame
You sell the lie
We take the blame
Fake president
Paper crown war

He needs a villain for the show
Ratings dipped
Now markets shake
So he paints their sky with danger
Calls it “keeping us all safe”
Heads nod in the quiet room
Contracts passed from palm to palm
He signs his name with someone else’s blood
Then says "Stay calm"

Do you see the mothers counting sirens?
Do you hear the kids learn a different kind of math?
Numbers on the screen
Faces off the map
You call it strategy
They call it shattered glass

Paper Crown War

Paper Crown War (Venezuela)
