about
This song was written the day after the 2016 election. Finally put it together. This is lightly mixed, unmastered, zero fughs. Enjoy the melodies, listen to the message, ignore the lo-fi.
lyrics
You sold me out
You sewed me in
to this situation
And now we see
It's a freaking reality
It's coming over
You can't play half the game
you can't ignore the rules you hate
you can't vote half the way
now I'm not listening to ya
cuz I can see right through ya
you say that you're not racist
and then you hate us still
you say it's about the economy
oh oh ok
we'll see
I can't seem to wake up wake up wake up
from this (freaking) dream
you sold me out
you sold us all out
you sold us all out
you can't play half the game
you can't ignore the rules you hate
you can't vote half the way
you can't have it all both ways

Just me. On guitar and vox. I'll add bass and lead one day.
Got some feedback on mixing (thanks A), then rerecorded and attempted to mix on my own, maybe I'll get a proper mix done in the future, but I just wanted to put this out. Life is short, music/art is imperfect.
