Name: They Feed on Greed by The Undercover Hippy in Demo
Duration: 4 min 30 s
Description: I originally wrote this song as a hip-hop track. It had a totally different chorus (which was awful) and the verses were rapped. Then one day I tried singing it over a few chords and it worked great, so it ended up being this song!

If you insult capitalism, capitalists say what you're insulting is not real capitalism. Socialists say the same thing. ...but if you insult "crony-capitalism" (AKA: "corporate-socialism", both groups will approve.

This is the CD I have been selling for the last few years... it's a bit long to be a demo really! to hear the full thing (10 tracks) you can check in out at http://music.undercoverhippy.com/album/demo

Demo

A State of Hysteria

I'll Get Home

This track started out life as a bunch of bars I used to use when I was living my former incarnation as a drum and bass MC. When I started getting back into guitar based music I tried laying them over a few chords, and this is what came out...

Move to the sound

Snap Back

This song was written as a message to myself really... to remind myself that although I may not be actively commiting crimes against humanity like my government or it's many corporate masters, by remaining passive and not challenging the situation, and by accepting the fruits of their exploits, I am also accountable for the consequences.

It's in your name

I originally wrote this song as a hip-hop track. It had a totally different chorus (which was awful) and the verses were rapped. Then one day I tried singing it over a few chords and it worked great, so it ended up being this song!

They Feed on Greed

I wrote this song whilst working at a call centre in Leeds, reminiscing about the days of my youth... So what is "the solution"? No idea I'm afraid, if you know, please tell me... :)

A Solution

I wrote this song after hearing one too many songs on mainstream radio about getting rich. I was also feeling very frustrated by the public acceptance of our countries role as one of the worlds largest arms dealers. The vocals style is very dated for me now, but people still love the track so it's gotta go up here!

David Rodigan Scorcher! Bad Habits on BBC 1xtra

Song lyric and music copyright 2025 by Mike Dampf. Love You So - is a gentle love song with a bossa feel. This is a stripped down version. David Leadbitter on bass.

Love 
Stumbled in the dark
Fumbled for a spark
Tried to hit the mark
But we ran out of time

Time
All was lost or won
We were so damn young
Dancing on the sun
And unafraid of death

Time out of mind I've watched you shine
And as it all unwinds you should know
I still love you, I still love you so

Death
So many friends are gone
But somehow they live on
At sunset and dawn
When I look for hope

Hope
I find you again
Up around the bend
Someday before the end
Of everything but love

Love You So

You're Givin' Me the Blues (Demo Take)

A warning to the seemingly unstoppable power structures that shape the modern day world. "You might stop a single man, but you can't stop the tide"

Can't Stop The Tide
