you only see what you want to see
we only see what you want to be seen

you cant do that, not by yourself
you need help from everyone else
more laws, restrictions and plans
put it all into their hands
don't judge or offend your ears
you have every right to be here
don't make you think too hard
else you'll say we pushed you too far
you'll quiet my controversy
attempt to force me onto bended knee
you have so many friends
when you cry, they come running
you cant do this, not by yourself
you need help from every one else
you only see what you want to see
we only see what you want to be seen

----------------------------------------------------

a drop in the bucket
a grain of sand
herd mentality
fake renditions
truly powerless
your voice is so empty
thought its heard
it really does nothing
armchair activist...
watch it burn
feel accomplished
yet you forfeit your turn
don't make you think too hard
else you say we pushed you too far
you'll quiet my controversy
attempt to force me onto bended knee
you have so many friends
when you cry, they come running
you cant do this, not by yourself
you need help from everyone else
you only see what you want to see
we only see what you want to be seen

Taung Child is the Athens-based weirdo noise rock project that graces this edition of WOUB's Radio A Sessions. The band is spearheaded by Colby Smith, who put together the band after finding the sonic aggression of the Athens music scene lacking.

Although their time in WOUB marks their first official recording, as the band has made a name for themselves playing at various house venues as well as The Union, it was clear that this is a group who not only know their musical history, but who have also developed a unique vision for how they wish their sound to manifest. 

Listen to the occasionally goofy interview with the band as well as their in-studio renditions of "Against Science," "The Hinterland," and "Creativity Is Pathogen."

Taung Child is opening for LUNG at The Union on Friday, March 29, an act that will also be supported by local rockers Sneakthief.
