RAGE OF MEN
Words and Music Stephen Randall

They got something to prove
They got nothing to lose
They’re just pumped up muscle
Looking for a hustle
Gonna take you down
Gonna shake you down
Riding on the train to oblivion

They got war on the cards
They got hate in their hearts
We’re one shot away 
From being blown away
Gotta be the man
Gotta have a plan
Riding on the train to oblivion

Is it a lack of
Direction
That fans the flames
That turn into

CHORUS
Rage
Blame it on the rage of men
Rage
Blame it on the rage of men

Got to be in the tribe
Gotta believe in the lie
There are very fine guys
On both sides 
Gonna hunt us down
Gonna run this town
Riding on the train to oblivion

Is it a lack of
Connection
That fans the flames
That turn into

CHORUS
Rage
Blame it on the rage of men
Rage
Blame it on the rage of men

Blame it on the rage of men

Rage Of Men

“Big Finish” is a song about never giving up. It’s a song about family and the influence they have on us. We all make our choices and we all make mistakes, but what matters is how we get up and finish the race. It’s not too late to follow through. In the wise words of my father, “Big finish. Make sure you finish strong.”

Lyrics: 

My father told me something I never forgot
And he tells me every time I play his favorite song
He says man you can mess up a lot
He says make sure you finish strong

Big big finish
Make sure you finish strong

My brother told me something I forget
And I keep trying to remember just the end
It went something about liquor and sweat
It said it’s your time and money to spend

Big big finish
Make sure you finish strong

My mother doesn’t have to say anything at all
One look from her and I am a stream
Laughing over rocks in the mud of fall
Drinking the light of the sunshine beam

Big big finish
Make sure you finish strong

Oh Big big finish
Make sure you finish strong
Yeah make sure you finish strong

NAIVE 
Words & Music by Stephen Randall

Am I a fool
For having a dream?
Believing in alchemy
Building my legacy
Ignoring reality
Living the fantasy
Succumbing to vanity 
Am I the biggest fool you know?

CHORUS
Oh naive
Why do you give yourself to me?
Oh naïve
Are you the better man than me?
‘cos I'm still not giving in
Oh naive

Am I a fool
For playing the game?
For leading a strategy
Wrestling with gravity
Writing my destiny
Bleeding so easily
And screaming so peacefully
Am I the biggest fool you know?

CHORUS

Am I a fool
For staying the course?
Armed with audacity
Seeking validity
Teaching tenacity
Living so recklessly
Speaking too honestly
I must be the biggest fool you know

CHORUS

Naive

NONE OF US ARE SUPERMAN
Words and Music Stephen Randall

We all live in our Fortresses of Solitude
We all do the very best we can
Hiding from our own secret identity
But none of us are Superman no
None of us are Superman 
We have to get it while we can 
None of us are Superman      

We all live in our own little Metropolis
Living for work or working to live
But most of us are like the Clark Kents of the world
And none of us are Superman no
None of us are Superman 
We have to get it while we can 
None of us are Superman      

And none of us are Superman no
None of us are Superman 
We have to get it while we can 
None of us are Superman

None Of Us Are Superman

I used to write songs for other artists and thought that getting covers was what it was all about. Whenever I heard the end results of what other artists, producers or A&R people would do with my songs, I mostly found it soul destroying, so I allowed myself to I get distracted developing technology - inventing the Stepp digital guitar and founding several startups in mobile and healthcare.  Then about twelve years ago I started writing again and this time I wrote for myself and rediscovered my passion. So here I am, a songwriter again. 

I record on a MacBook Pro using Logic Pro X, and play a Fender Jazzmaster (my current go-to), American Fender Tele, Taylor acoustic, Epiphone Sheraton II Pro, Fender Jazz Bass, Line 6 Variax JTV, Stepp DG1 (of course!), Nord Piano 5/MIDI keyboard, Gretsch Lap Steel and am learning pedal steel on a Sho-Bud Pro pedal steel guitar. 

The Soundcloud community has fostered my motivation for songwriting and music discovery. Thanks for listening - every comment, constructive or otherwise inspires me.

Cheers,

Stephen
