about

Retro Desperado was assembled and recorded in my bedroom in the spring of 2007. The song is basically a diatribe against W. Bush and authority in general.

lyrics

Just when you thought it was over
We came after you with the forces of 1000 men and more to get through
With the weight on your shoulders the hopes of the world turn over
Tumble down all around you
With the look in your eyes when you realize that it's colder, much colder
Why did you lead? Why do you breathe?

Chopped up fuel cells breaking down the barriers into hell
Gotta go to war, we know - identify just how slow we die
In the eyes of so many unsurprised passerbys
All wondering why we despise the way they think
The way they feel, the way we don't understand what's real
The buildings building up, getting taller
Hearts and courage is getting smaller
When will we even see through the storm?

Bring down the government, bring down establishment
Bring up all we knew about who we were and what we could be long after
