lyrics

ONLY THE STRONG WILL SURVIVE They poison the water we drink Programming the thoughts that we think To turn us against me and you They're bleeding the red white and blue That's why I say fuck you Technofascist nazi traitor human trash You'd trade your mother for a wad of dirty cash You broke the heart of a young world who's still in need Exploitation, hatred, violence, theft and greed Cameras look down from the sky A network of all-seeing eyes Ruled by the hand that should save Voters are cheaper than slaves This is the end of days Neverending, unrelenting mind control Getting angry, getting even, getting old Searching for a truth still as-of-yet untold The country's heart and soul was bought and sold Oswald, Chapman, Booth & Ray These men are the price that we pay We choke on the lie we've been fed I can't breathe, my brother is dead You heard exactly what I said No land is sacred or free I don't trust; you don't trust me Now that we've woken AI How (do/can) we tell truth from lies? Only the strong will survive Far above the beneath and betwixt the between In the strange sick light of a nightmare scene No matter how I try, I only gasp when I scream For the chance to sleep again And maybe dream

about

Recorded at Loud Sun Studio in Jaffrey, New Hampshire between August and November of 2020, "Only The Strong Will Survive" is a soundtrack of the era in which it was recorded. These are songs about love come and gone, digital alienation, the dawn of artificial intelligence, the rise of fascism and one Yankee hippie hermit retreating from a world on fire, ever deeper into a Rip Van Winkle daydream...
