lyrics

I’ve heard enough of simple explanations running through the plaster
I’ve had enough of offering sacrifices to a lonely shrine
The only thing that gets reaction from my troubled mind
Makes 90 cable channels seem a coloured strobe of fantasy
I’ve done my time of paying homage to their deadly god
and spent my last reward on motivation rape cassettes
and now the desert storm’s available on VHS

My civil rights are being slowly eaten day by day
So I can be protected from the war on drugs they play
And what I want to know is, Why is beer OK?
I think possession of a Bud should rate a violent crime
And carry penalty of death to all who cross the line

I’m sick of politician lies and fabricated alibi’s
They slam them down my throat and smile as if they can be trusted
I’m sick of TV secrecy, sick of sickness that I see
The world is slipping to the right as power preachers sell their lies
You best agree with what they say or you will disappear someday

..and all that’s left for me to say is...How?
...and all that’s left for me to say is...How?

Mutiny in Jonestown Washington

Influenced by classic 70's progressive rock bands like King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator & Genesis - along with late 60's psychedelia from The Beatles, Procol Harum & Pink Floyd (with a little 70's Black Sabbath thrown in for good measure), Mutiny in Jonestown has always sought to take these influences and synthesize them into something new.

The band has released 42 albums since 1987.
