Rumplestiltskin

about

Written for Newt Gingrich's "Contract On America". It was around the time I wrote this that I spray painted "LLLiberal!" on the side of my 64 Volvo 122s wagon in big blue letters. Everyone always wanted to know who did that.
This song heavily features the devices Applied Research and Technology so kindly gave me.

lyrics

Pastel tractors
Treading tirelessly
Through corporation automation
Robotic hands of injustice
disassemble all the freedoms
So hard won so long ago

Teased and hazed so far they finally
Fell under the strain
Truth be told, your life's controlled
By ruthless men
Who laugh to feel your pain

Buy that big lie
Raise it high
Wave it proud
Show the world for all to see
Chant it loud and feverishly
Celebrate your whiteness
And it's dark history

Slavery and genocide
Reflect the values deep inside
How we're able to preside
In the land of the free
Armed with such ineptitude
And such a cocky attitude
Truly believing that all is ours
As meant to be

Wading through the lies and slander
Truth, not a word was said
Are you waiting for the answer
To clearly knock you upside the head?

Another year another dollar
Trade your chains in for a collar
You can't live my life like that
It's hell in your own wishing well
You're wishing you were a stranger
No one told you your virtue would hurt you

Well I don't know
And I don't care
about your ignorance or apathy
it's a forced compliance
crushed defiance
corporate giants
culture of worker bees

Brian Kenney Fresno Fresno, California

My name is Brian Kenney Fresno, and I have this super fun solo ROCK show
where I sing modern TALES of urban legends and epics of the absurd- in a
sing along format, mostly about Fresno Ca, my home town, and everytime I say
"Fresno", everybody eats the raisins and says "WHOOO!" in a group
experience.
It's really fun!
Everybody laughs a lot! ... more
