about

I find it interesting how I've never cared or have been concerned with politics in my whole life. I've just seen it as untouchable people making decisions for you, me and us... they don't even know I exist.

Ive buried my head in the sand until now. Now... as a songwriter and observer who takes no one political side or party... I write as an observer.

lyrics

It's all smoke and mirrors
It's all smiles and lies
It's all backroom deals
It's all ego and pride
Some people call them our leaders
I call them the mob
They know Armageddon
Gonna do the job

I used to know a woman
Down in Tennessee
She became a cancer
To her family
Damage attracts damage
The fuse attracts the bomb
She knows Armageddon
Gonna do the job

You go about your day
Doing what it is you do
Then you turn on the tv
Bad news washes over you
Profit over the people
Profit over the planet
The world's a spinning top
And you know Armageddon
Gonna do the job
I know Armageddon
Gonna do the job
WE know Armageddon
Gonna do the job

Inspired by Allen Ginsberg "Hum Bom!"

Magdalena
by merveilleuse

She is a visionary, mad scientist, she creates the music and image with shadows and light. It's lovable and menacing at the same time. Chris Taylor
