Boot Liquor 02:48
lyrics

Your blind hero worship Will lead to fascism You should question your idols 'Cause they can't all be perfect But you'll let them take over 'Cause they hate who you hate Your support will not waver Even if we all suffer They're all drunk with power We're left with hangover You drink what they give you You love a boot liquor, now DRINK... IT... DOWN DRINK... IT... DOWN With lock-step devotion You'll award them more power Authority you won't question As you lower your standards You'll allow them to kill Anyone in their way Dire consequences That there's no going back from They're all drunk with power We're left with hangover You drink what they give you You love a boot liquor They're all drunk with power We're left with hangover You drink what they give you You love a boot liquor You don't seem to have any empathy for their victims Why is that The tables turn and it could be you Wishing they had empathy too (DRINK IT DOWN) Where is your empathy, why don't you have any? (DRINK IT DOWN) Where is your empathy, why don't you have any? (DRINK IT DOWN) Where is your empathy, why don't you have any? (DRINK IT DOWN) Where is your empathy, why don't you have any?

It feels like July outside when it's the first week of October None of this, none of this, none of this is normal None of this, none of this, none of this is normal The President's talking shit on assault survivors to cheering crowds None of this, none of this, none of this is normal None of this, none of this, none of this is normal The entire United Nations laughs at our moronic leaders None of this, none of this, none of this is normal None of this, none of this, none of this is right Babies are put in cages 'cause their families tried to claim asylum None of this, none of this, none of this is normal None of this, none of this, none of this is right We are alive in the worst case scenario We are alive in the worst case scenario We are alive in the worst case scenario We are alive in the worst case scenario We're living in rare times Legitimate journalists are rejected in favor of conspiracy theorists None of this, none of this, none of this is normal None of this, none of this, none of this is normal The President denies the deaths from the hurricane in Puerto Rico None of this, none of this, none of this is normal None of this, none of this, none of this is normal Fascism walks the streets proud and without fear, how the fuck did we get here None of this, none of this, none of this is normal None of this, none of this, none of this is right We're left with a sinking feeling it'll get worse before it gets better None of this, none of this, none of this is normal None of this, none of this, none of this is right We are alive in the worst case scenario We are alive in the worst case scenario We are alive in the worst case scenario We are alive in the worst case scenario We're living in rare times It feels like July outside when it's the first week of October... We're living in rare times...

Cancelled 01:49
lyrics

If you connect all the dots... Will it draw a picture that you want to see? If you trace all the wires... Will it play a song that you want to hear? If you know where to look... You'll uncover the truth... Another predator rock star Even undisputed classics... Are hiding terrible secrets... Underneath their surface Can you face the truth What are you going to do It says a lot about you And so you're faced with another moral dilemma Do you throw out all their records or can you separate art from artist? I guess that's what you get for... Believing in and basing your entire life on pop culture And so the choice is yours... Can you face the truth What are you going to do When all your gods are cancelled

Fall Asleep 03:33
lyrics

What kind of future will there be Is it worth paying the cost All this technology Doesn't make up for what we've lost Endless war, endless fight Police state won't make us free So just lay down and sigh As you try to fall asleep When you have nothing left And you don't know what to say When you have nothing left And you don't know what to say So just lay down and sigh As you try to fall asleep When you have nothing left And you don't know what to say Exasperation washes over Such a wonderful flu Easy to feel overwhelmed When there's so much work to do And the thought of facing life Makes you want to turn and flee So just lay down and sigh As you try to fall asleep When you have nothing left And you don't know what to say When you have nothing left And you don't know what to say So just lay down and sigh As you try to fall asleep When you have nothing left And you don't know what to say When you have nothing left Try to fall asleep When you have nothing left Try to fall asleep It's not worth giving up So please don't throw it away When you have nothing left And you don't know what to say

about

This EP contains songs both old and new. Some have been played for a couple years now from back when we were a five-piece. Others have only been played a couple times live. It's a political EP for the most part, which is how all of our releases have been. We went with Ryan Wasoba at Bird Cloud Recordings for production this time around. It sounds great and I recommend working with him, as I recommend all producers we've worked with so far.
