Ballad of Woodstock James is a flagpole that was stuck in the ground on February 9th, 2020, marking the beginning of a whirlwind of passion and creation to come about in the year 2020.

Centered around the pivotal Alter-Ego character Woodstock James, these three songs are a manifestation of the mania, emotions, and personalized propaganda seized from the mind of James Trevor Lucier III.

Destruction Of My Friends

Ballad Of Woodstock James

There Is Fire Here

"This song fell out of a pen I happened to be holding in my friend Kenny Chung's garage.

The hour was 2AM

The air felt like ice in my lungs

I could not sleep

I had to write"

Destruction of the Species

Destruction Of The Species

Written by James Trevor Lucier III
Lyrics:
If it meant that I could see you soon
Girl I'd set fire to the Moon
Or maybe I'd just burn the earth
Until we were the only two
We'd watch it from some grassy hill
On the effects of some forgotten pills

I was stocking up bottles for that rainy day
When she decided to go away
I would not say what I did was exactly safe
But I was better prepared than Noah
And I hope you know that its the truth
That if I could I'd build a wooden you
But she wouldn't satisfy me

For a start she'd have no heartbeat
So I wouldn't feel it speed up
When I kissed her

These attempts at connection hold hands with hesitation
I moved distances for you
My regrets are as tangible as most land animals behind glass for a safer view
I'm as set in stone as our lefts and rights on this spinning sphere we call home
Get some water
Find a rock to carve a promise
That will slowly erode

Remember the last time we talked
My neighbors went to call the cops
Noise complaint at two o'clock
Begging for the drums to stop

I've got to say its quite a thing
To find how much the heart can sing
When it's got something on which to cling
And suddenly it doesn't

Midnight Fire

Have I told you that currently
I'm building an anthill out of currency
The workers work for pennies
The wallpaper's made of dollar bills
One could comfortably live inside their house
Possibly with offspring and a spouse
If they sat for family portrait 
You could not exaggerate how still

They all sat while holding hands
Like little, tiny grains of sand
That were untouched by wind and rain 
But managed to erode to nothing
Anyway

Attention
Starting Immediately the General Public 
Has been granted permission to wake up 
About what's going on around us
Everyone is under strict orders
To listen to Music
In the safety of your own homes
And make love responsibly

In this place made up of old men's faces
A young girl braces to take her medication
That provides her with sensations that
Let her know she's happy

On Sundays they all ride the Ferris Wheel
It's made of smooth, cold, hard steel
And when they get off 
They ask if they can go home

They say it'll always be under construction
They say it came with a beautiful set of instructions
But those were used as kindling
When I burned at the stake
That low-down, dirty liar 
That goes by the name of They

I... If you're still with us out there
We here at the top
Would like you to know
That it was a great ride
While it lasted
Those of us with the privilege to 
Carry on living as if nothing has changed
Thank you for not rising up 
And eating the wealthy
Signing Off

In my anthill made of currency
There's a constant vague sense
Of urgency
Nothing's being done
Someone really ought to do something about it

And on Wednesdays everybody sings
The exact same song
In the exact same key
The song goes
A faceless God upon his throne
Will hold the strings of many
Pull and pull he will 'til Free Will
We don't have any

When all our strings are nice and pulled
And all of us are good and fooled
We'll look up to the sky and say
I didn't want it anyway

Oh! Boring Dystopia
