The Transient

A solo punk band with songs ranging from politics to social issues to evolutionary biology.

Lacking any real musical talent, I decided to use Punk-o-Matic to create some generic punk backgrounds to the various songs I had written. Recorded at low quality through a computer microphone, the songs are not musical masterpieces but the lyrics are still strong. Give it a listen, you might enjoy it.

Lyrics

Zero after zero decorate my stats
It pains my brown eyes to look at
Yet one day, the second of May
I see fifty downloads come my way
Was it a breakthrough, did I hit it big?
From the success tree did I break a fig?
But, alas, I looked again on the morrow
The familiar bagel fills my lungs with sorrow

Hey Mister Guy who downloads my songs
What have I done well, where’d I go wrong?
Are the punk songs too short, the ballads too long?
Where’d you come from, where have you gone?

So now I’m thinking you’re just some bot
And a collection of bits if all you’ve got
How could you play such a trick on me?
Instilling a false sense of security
You son of a bitch, you degenerate program
Open your ears, feel the digital pogrom
Have at you, I say, here comes my wrath
The crushed faux artist in the blood bath

Hey you machine who rapes my songs
How do you distinguish between right and wrong?
Was this you intention all fucking long?
With screams of anger, in a burst I’m gone
