lyrics

Pop that bottle open, let the past run down the side, there’s no use provokin’
The clock can’t be coaxed to spin the other way, so raise your glass and greet the day
Paradigm shift is just inevitable, but don’t let that discourage your appetite, eat till you’re
Full of wisdom and soon you will see
Enlightenment cannot be plucked from a tree
Oh the times, times, times are a’changin’
But the signs, signs, signs don’t point to salvation
Don’t let the myths of our parent’s generation
Be the building blocks of our rejuvenation
Cops at the door cut the party short
Hide away in a closet, this night will not end in a court
30 minutes gone, I can sigh with relief
So crack open another one, our time on this earth is too brief
Talk is cheap
But money speaks
And no language can’t be bypassed by drawing some sword from its sheath
So just admit morality is a losing race
Or rather it never existed in the first place
Times, times, times are a’changin’
But the signs, signs, signs don’t point to salvation
Don’t let the myths of our parent’s generation
Be the building blocks of our rejuvenation

about

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.
