LYRICS:
----------------------------
(townie)
People in this town, they've all seen you hangin' around
They don't like it
They're not buyin' what you're sellin', standing' on your box and yellin'
They don't like it
Their sentiment is strong, and they asked you move along
They don't like it. They really don't like it.

(monty)
People in this town, one by one they sneak around
They seem to like it
They come and they go, they never let the neighbors know
That they like it
They may hide it from the rest, but their coins inside my chest say they like it
Oh, I think they like it. They like it.

(townie)
With your shell games and dice, I ain't tellin' you twice
I don't like it
They're down on their knees while you sell them your disease
I don't like it
With your slug milk and wine, they're just fish on your line
I don't like it I really don't like it.

(monty)
I am just a businessman, I make my living where I can
The way I like it
I am sure you understand, I'm just meeting their demand
And I like it
So there's no need to taunt, I just give them what they want and they like it, 
Oh I think they like it, and I like it

(townie)
They say that you're depraved, that you're sick and can't be saved
We don't like it.
And the medicine you sell isn't making them well
We don't like it.
So just get on down the road, if you'd like, I'll help you load
We don't like it. We really don't like it.

(monty)
My patience wearing thin, I take another one on the chin
Because they like it.
So I guess I'll up and go, take my tack and tents in tow
I don't like it
But your virtue is a clown, so I'll go to the next town
Where they like it. I'll go where they like it.
Where they like it.

You’ve been running
Around again.

You’ve been running
Around again.
 
Rudy red rocket
What have you done
You’ve been running
Around again.

Running in the morning
Running at night
You’ve been running
Around again.

Running in the morning
Running at night
You’ve been running
Around again.

Rudy red rocket
What have you done
You’ve been running

2023 is in the rear view and by shear coincidence, KH-1 realized this song that we started over a month ago, just happened to have a fitting title for ringing in 2024 and some posi-vibe lyrics from KH-1 to boot!  

It's been a good year for GOTE. 10 songs this year which we're pretty happy with after taking such a long break.

Peace to all the Souncloud Community from G.o.T.E!

Saturday Siesta

Tried to keep this evenings recording Au Naturel. So, all tracks done with one take, no punch-ins, no effects on any track, and then volumes were set and a simple natural acoustic mastering setting using Klevgrand Grand Finale. Thank you Brian Funk for putting forth the challenge. Halloween couple dressed as...?

Au Naturel

Nirvana

A demo song I made for one of KORG Gadget’s new gadgets named “Santa Ana”.
It’s also my first time making Rock/Metal… Hopefully it sounds like it.
