Feb 2022 alt-rock fuzz spoken-word
My wife works for a school whose board have been manipulated by zealous parents that show no care for agreed school rulings. Instead of sticking to their own agreed policy, the board u-turned and bowed to this handful of parents, allowing religious exemptions for mask wearing. Teaching staff were overlooked and not consulted professionally.
You can imagine the difficulties this has created for the staff.(one kid wearing a mask and another claiming it's against the ways of Jesus to wear one)
At the last count, over 50% of the upper school had claimed religious exemption. So from 5 kids to some 60/70. And this Wednesday coming the mask mandate is lifted.
Make a mockery of faith, of Jesus and of how to handle conflict.
God have mercy on us all
I think it's time that someone told you what they think about you
I think it's time that someone told you what they thought about
Cos that was weak and it was spineless
It’s time someone took you to task son
Stop bowing to pressure
from some upstart with a handgun
back your lifeblood, back your teachers
Your nothing without them
Just a room of old white men
desperate to try and keep upstarts happy amen?
I’m keeping you in a corner
Until you’ve heard it all
Keep giving to Caesar
Until the King comes back
He is coming back
Let me tell you he’s coming back
And it’s gonna get hot out here
No-ones gonna be happy with
Every decision you make
Rome wasn’t built in a day
But it sure wasn’t built
Tiptoeing around trying to keep everyone happy
GO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR WITH A MASK ON
GO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR WITH A MASK ON

Excellent sounds on guitar & bass. I would love to hear this live. So powerful performance & great message.
@standup Mar 2022
Tight riff backing this!
Yeah, this is the world we live in now.
Love the weird voiceover stuff at beginning and end.
FWIW the verse is much louder than the intro/chorus, which I like better than the verse, but this is FAWM. Getting things done!

That guitar/bassline and those rumbling drums are just packed with the latent frustration that explodes in the shouted chorus. Yeah, totally get this. It really lands its punch*. Cool!
