The Message (Political or Otherwise)

from Buy Popular Demand by Brimaxian (Brian M. Weidemann)

lyrics

The music scene is all played through,
An all-out war of love and fairness.
I never bought an album due
To some dumb band's social awareness,
Political or otherwise.
I wouldn't buy my own disguise.
The makeup isn't you.
I independently declare this.

So write a book, compose a poem, wave a picket sign,
Or taint another stock progression with your stick-it-to-'em line.
If you could fly, would you need bearing, where you're aiming toward?
Still sore and soaring, soul is baring, you just strike the power cords.

The message has foregone the beep.
The call to arms threw in the towel.
I dried you off, you fell in deep,
Your movement never passed the bowel,
Political or otherwise.
Your demons lack the exorcise.
They sow but fail to reap
Their “crop” (but with a different vowel).

Your soapbox has graffiti. Will your tattoos wash away?
Still, all your dirty laundry fills the room, and hampers, and betrays.
Don't skirt the issue, so blind, you'll get panties in a twist.
Give chance a piece of your mind. I'll bet luck and faith can't co-exist.

about

Brimaxian Portland, Oregon

A persistently versatile mix of guitars, keys, synth strings, and more, in the rock, acoustic, and alternative genres. Dense, poetic wordplay sung by a semi-amateur baritone. Wry wit, hot guitar licks, and the occasional augmented sixth chord.
