What do you see?
On battlefield Earth
We’ve been crossed, we’ve been cursed
Mute all of the innocent pleads
and label me conspiracy
The garden is burning
History's repeating
The serpents have gathered
a faith of defeating
And we are so eager to believe
this blue TV
That says the smell of peace
is a wicked perfume of ashes and tombs
and all of the lives we have lost
Who decides when it’s too great a cost?
The garden’s in ashes
Jesus is crying
The snakes in the orchard
And everyone’s lying
And we are so eager to believe
The mouth of deceit
And where are the artists? Where’s Joni?
Where are the painters the poets the black beret protests?
Where are cigarettes burned down to fingers?
Of conversations
Of conversations
We shouldn’t be having
What do you say?
While the wire records all the views that are yours
Can be twisted into terrorist
Are we silent or do we resist?
And where are the artists? Where’s Dylan?
Was he really a junkie or did they just kill him?
Where are hot night spent under bright lights
Burned down to filaments of conversations of conversations
We’re not allowed having this conversation.
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
