Those Ratshit Weasels make the rules Those Ratshit Weasels make the rules Pedophile pervert preaching from the pulpit Sez the country’s going to hell The gays are the culprit Pompous man of God tells you who should hate Hide behind the bible and discriminate Fleecing his flock it’s grand larceny The sucka’s making bank and it’s all tax free ‘cause Those Ratshit Weasels make the rules Those Ratshit Weasels make the rules Dumb white cop and a dead black kid Ain’t got no remorse for the shit he did Ain’t gonna be no trial They won’t put him away He get a 2 week paid holiday ‘cause Those Ratshit Weasels make the rules Those Ratshit Weasels make the rules Ice agents dressed up like Kylo Ren Bustin’ down the door at 5am Happy birthday kid Don’t make no fuss We’re taking your daddy away with us ‘cause Those Ratshit Weasels make the rules Those Ratshit Weasels make the rules Chuck Norris kid with a semi-automatic Gotta chip on his shoulder Gonna wreak some havoc The brave men in D.C. they think and they pray And cash another check from the N.R.A. ‘cause Those Ratshit Weasels make the rules Those Ratshit Weasels make the rules

I walked into the record store Didn’t think that I’d see you Pretty little pixie with a copy of Kind of Blue I fell out of the sky that night I thought somehow you knew That livin’ lovin’ laughin’ sprite Down at the parkway zoo It doesn’t matter where you’re going Don’t matter where you been Make sure you got the good parts showing And everything that you ever knew And all the shit that you’re going through You don’t know what you should do Just put on Kind of Blue I was of the galaxy and you were of the sun If it wasn’t such and travesty it wouldn’t be as fun You needn’t call the calvary, looks like this war is won I gave away the best of me but I’m still the lucky one It doesn’t matter where you’re going Don’t matter where you been Make sure you got the good parts showing And everything that you ever knew And all the shit that you’re going through You don’t know what you should do Just put on Kind of Blue Comatose yet feelin’ fine with Bobbi Rick and Jan Got into a little bind please come bailout the band Seeking shelter from the storm since 1962 Come on back to my place babe and bring your Kind of Blue

Now once upon a time It wasn’t so long ago We was just, ah, chillin’ and having a groovy time When all of a sudden things started to change We thought maybe it was just the lighting in the room But it seemed like it was something a little bit, uh, A little bit more sinister going on So we stopped and looked around and we asked each other “Hey, did you see that?” This hesitation cause frustration I don’t know what’s right or wrong When this is over I’ll be sober But probably not for very long So, so, uh...with all this going on we decided We just might, like, uh, leave the premises And take a little walk and try and clear our heads Of whatever energy was in the room at the time Whatever spirits were in there with us Possibly with malicious intent So we got outside and we walked We walked to the left We always walk to the left but we never go in circles So we got outside This hesitation cause frustration I don’t know what’s right or wrong When this is over I’ll be sober But probably not for very long probably not for very long So we walk into the bar And we see strange characters all around So we walk up to the bar And we surround ourselves With these strange characters We decide, we decide to have words with these strange characters This hesitation cause frustration I don’t know what’s right or wrong When this is over I’ll be sober But probably not for very long

The rich they say, they taste like chicken And the huntin’s such good fun Looking for the next thing to stick they dick in I mean they’ll fuck you over son Never been a violent person but I ain’t too dumb to learn ‘Cause the situation keeps getting worse And there’s nowhere else to turn And if you say it’s revolution time, tell me baby where do I sign? Why can’t they see it could be so simple Brother there’s a better way Let go of greed and hate Take care of the people Change your evil ways Cause if you don’t your playing with fire Only so much a man can take Before they come for all you putrid liars And laugh and watch you break And if you say it’s revolution time, tell me baby where do I sign?

about

A jammy power-trio record with killer grooves, great playing and biting lyrics. Previously, when making a record, Trever would have all the songs written, demo'd and rehearsed prior to going into the studio. But, this time when the band got together at The Spider House studio in Volcano Hawaii he only brought some loose sketches: riffs, grooves, chord progressions and a few lyrics. The actually song forms took shape while the band jammed and recorded in the studio, imparting a great free and spontaneous feel to the tracks.

Lyrically the ep includes themes of injustice and power to the people. The band could not have known that this record would be released during a time of such civil unrest, but these songs were inspired by those same atrocities that inspired thousands to take to the streets.

All proceeds for the sale of this record will go to: NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc.
