This song began with me coming up with the fonky-ass bass line and sharing it with everyone else. First up to bat was Ken, of course, who really matched the idea I had for the bass perfectly and gave it some flavor, too. Once we had a rhythm section solidified, Tez jumped in with the Kruangbin inspired arpeggios, and really gave the whole thing the flavor that it ended up with. Scotty followed soon after with his melodic/rhythmic leads that match his awesome vocal melodies. Next up was Stephen, who laid in the fiery solo towards the end, as well as some really trippy e-bowed guitar throughout. Then JJ came along and lit it up with his electric piano and synth. Finally, Chris came forward and added the distinct, exciting guitar intro. 
  Of course, we needed someone to produce and mix it, so we asked Tez to handle this one, which he did with his usual high wizardly magic. It is very gratifying to all of us to have Chris back in the mix on this one, as well as some upcoming releases, as well. This was the first time any of us has collaborated with Scotty, and we are thrilled that we finally got a chance. He's a creative, driven, and very agreeable musical partner, who's willing to work with us until we all get it right. We all hope this is just the first of many with him involved. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Scotty:

Can't obtain no fucking mortgage. 
And I can't pay no fucking rent.
I would rather you probe me 
than get fucked by our government
who attempts to control me 
and put nonsense in my head.
Who would rather see me
livin' in debt or end up dead.
Come and take me away.
Beam me into space.
Fly me to a planet
where there exists no hate or greed.

Take me to Utopia.
Teach me all your ways.
Save me from dystopia.
It's time to turn the page.
Something better must exist
out there beyond the stars,
where everyone can love and live,
unlike what's become of ours.

Utopia (Eclectic Collective with One Man Verity Show)

A thread unravels, the truth unfolds,
Her shadow fades, the night grows cold.
A whispered plan, a fleeting chance,
I seized the moment, broke her trance.

Her blade was sharp, her will was strong,
But I had waited all along.

I am the prey that turned the tide,
The one who fled, the one who lied.
In every shadow, her whispers fade,
But I remain, the choice I made.

Her silent smile, her chilling breath,
She thought she'd bring my final death.
But in her shadow, I laid the snare,
A whispered trick to claim the air.

The hunter fell, her mask undone,
A broken web, her thread unspun.

I am the prey that turned the tide,
The one who fled, the one who lied.
In every shadow, her whispers fade,
But I remain, the choice I made.

Her strength was steel, but mine was fire,
A hidden spark, my one desire.
I held my breath, I played her game,
And in her fall, I took her name.

The night consumed, but left me whole,
I claimed her dark, I claimed control.
Now shadows move at my command,
A stolen power in my hand.

A fleeting scream, her shadow’s mark,
I left her there, to claim the dark.
The story ends, but starts anew,
For I have learned what darkness knew.

I am the prey that turned the tide,
The one who fled, the one who lied.
In every shadow, her whispers fade,
But I remain, the choice I made.

The chains are gone, but not my name,
The whispers call, I play the game.
The hunter sleeps, but I arise,
To haunt the night with borrowed eyes.

Refrain from "Born to Kill"
I am the hunter, I am the blade,
I am the darkness that won’t fade.
With every breath, I’m closer still,
I know what I am – born to kill.

With deep admiration for the original song, its message, and Alabama's incredible legacy, this version stays true to the soul of country rock, while adding a modern touch and the unique OMGG Band energy.

For this tribute, Mira takes the lead on vocals, bringing her country and pop-influenced singing style to the forefront. Having grown up with both classic country melodies and modern pop ballads, Mira delivers a performance that is both nostalgic and powerful, ensuring that the heartfelt message connects with listeners old and new.

With a blend of warm acoustic guitars, soaring steel guitar solos, and driving Southern rock energy, the arrangement celebrates the spirit of live music and the deep connection between artists and their fans. The band wanted to make sure this tribute respects the original while still feeling fresh and personal—a love letter not just to Alabama, but to every listener who has ever supported live music.

Hope you enjoy this version, and never forget—you are the reason we do this. This is for you, You, the Fans.
