Interlude for the Contrarian

from FUNemployed! by The Michael Character

/

lyrics

Cut against the grain and more splinters raise their heads and take first breathes
They sing out in agony how it feels to be free
The freethinkers get ostracized for provoking the petrified to use their heads
‘Cause to leave your intellect to atrophy it doesn’t pay in the long run
We are not unlike each other, despite what some proclaim to be
Together in this world we’re huddled, 7 billion leaves upon a big fucking family tree
So when they put you in a box punch a hole and hop out
And when they tell you you’re a heretic freely express your doubt
And when they give you a gun and tell you shoot to kill
You’ll be well equipped to exercise free will

The Michael Character Boston, Massachusetts

It's political music, whatever. Based in Boston, MA. Absolutely willing to drive very far to play for you and five of your vaguely alternative friends in your combination kitchen/laundry room. Hit me up. I'm fully serious.
