I wrote this while I drank the Stone Cold beer. I might've misspelled some lyrics. Sorry. Also, I mention a brain, so I hit the week 1 challenge.
TALKING HEADS ON THE NEWS SAID IT
THEY'RE THE AUTHORITY
I HAVE QUESTIONS, I'M NOT A SKEPTIC
NOT THEIR PRIORITY
COMMON SENSE TAKES A DIVE
IDIOCRACY HAS ARRIVED
DROP A GROUNDHOG ON THE GROUND
ON GROUNDHOG DAY
ELON SAYS WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF PEOPLE
I SAY WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME
FLY ON THE WINGS OF AN EAGLE
SMOOTH BRAINED WITH A MIND BENIGN
TALKING HEADS ON THE NEWS SAID IT
BILLIONAIRES SHOOT THEMSELVES TO SPACE
I HAVE QUESTIONS, I'M NOT A SKEPTIC
CAN THEY STAY IN A GALAXY FAR AWAY?
COMMON SENSE TAKES A DIVE

I SAY WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME

SMOOTH BRAINED WITH A MIND BENIGN
ARE YOU MAD THAT THE PEOPLE ARE LISTENING,
ASSESS IGNORE THE NARRATIVE
CULT LIKE, DIGNIFIED BY IGNORANCE
THEIR CULTURE WAR DECLARATIVE
IS THE INFORMATION SHIT?
CAN YOU TAKE THE RATINGS HIT?

Absolutely awesome vocal performance on this. Overall has a cool punk folk vibe
@bradbrubaker Feb 2022
Very impressed with this performance. The song is also good, but man I wish I could sing a song like that without shredding my vocal cords halfway through.
@max Feb 2022
Love it, simply love it.
Very well crafted.
@cseversin Feb 2022
So many good lines.. I don't know if I can choose a favorite. Probably "Smooth brained with a mind benign"
Great work!

Wow, so impressed that you can yell your lyrics and still pronunciate so well, I understand it all. "Idiocracy has arrived," haha. And "Can they stay in a galaxy far away?" Fun to listen to, I could get into this folk punk thing :-)

Dude! This is sooooo good! Your vocal delivery is so awesome. I am such a huge “Dead Milkmen” fan. Wow this total captures it to the max! Elon is an alien (lol). F-ing amazing lyrics too. Yup had to listen again. How did you record your drums??? Sweet sound… I’m a drummer if the a programmed bravo. They sound like a late 60’s Ludwig kit with 1990’s Reno pinstripes on them. Power stroke on the kick. Very specific sound… love the lead guitar at the end too. I hope we can do a collab!!! I say that as my entire FAWM plan was to write a prog album. My first song is a 3/4 Argentinian Samba guitar jam anyway bravo so good!!!!
