law is the consequence
of conquering minds
History silences
The spirit of our story
Understand our past
To be what we must no longer be
Or believe
What was done
Is what we must do

As science makes our truth,
Negation become rational
As natural becomes rational
It’s logic becomes inevitable
We shall overcome

Because absurd admits
of no explanations
You must renounce reason
to be happy
For those who are naive
discussion simply ceases
and ignorance is what remains
Chained to your
Stupid, blind, faith
Of the same poison
Stop civilizing me

From power springs law
From law comes authority
Once controlled, voices muzzled
Forced to your knees
We must disobey
When liberty is a possibility

When we believed
the sun revolved about the earth
Were they not mistaken?
Do not be exploited
Or oppressed by beliefs
That are designed to suffocate
the rules made by those who champion
God, Church and State are wrong.

So Much Ignorance

From animal origin
and primitive development
We have emerged from
The darkness of instinct
From deep within this cave
into the light of mind
give us dignity, freedom, and happiness,
We must realize fraternity among us
In the time we live
Not at the end of history
never look back
Only look forward

Can’t you see
How governing - stop suffocating me
And worshiping - stop stupefying we
Even voting - stop oppressing thee
All relate to church and state
Are are each Different flavors
of the same poision?

The Uncivil Society Seattle, Washington
I do, because I love to do it. I understand that I am a hack musician, a terrible vocalist and a sloppy graphic artist. I don’t care about achieving perfection, because I am happiest while being engaged in the exalted messiness of my creative process. I don’t worry about capturing the perfect take. I am satisfied by the pure joy I derive from expressing myself without filter or restraint. ... more

In gearing up for a new project I bought some pedals to make my banjo sound like these masters of crust punk! Their new music still has all the sound and fury!!!! Stay Rad!

I am reading "Silence is No Reaction" this summer. It is simply an amazing document that celebrates one of the greatest bands of all time. Worlds Apart is by far and away my favorite!!!
