REAL MUSIC (about politics and culture)

Bleak

We seek wisdom in stupidity; we're such patriotic fascists.
We need more Jesus. We need more money.
All our rock songs must have meaning.
We watch the news, yeah the corporate news;
that's how we distinguish ourselves from the masses.
We're so black and white.
We're so black and white.

We see such simple solutions in all of our Dionysian delusions.
What do you think about OJ? What's the color of your skin?
Do you think he got away with murder?
We love TV; yeah, we love TV.
You know, it's our country's craven custom.
So you really know.
So you really know.

Well, I'm tired of all your anti-Yoko Onoism.
Well, I'm tired of all your hard-line, tough-love crap.
I don't want to hear you tell me 'bout the way things are.
(blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah)
'Cause I've learned the truth.
'Cause I've learned the truth.
'Cause I've learned the truth and
Oh,
How
Things
Look
Bleak...

Written and performed by me. Click here for MP3 download. I wrote this song during the mid 1990s and looking back on it today, it seems almost prophetic. It's not that I claim any special ability of prognostication; it's just that the writing has been on the wall, for anybody who has cared to look, for a long, long time now.

Thanks to my buddy, Kevin, for providing the bandwidth and recording potential.
