Fighting the "bling-bling" mentality
myspace
I'm going to call it progreesive rock, but it is whatever people say it is.
The members of the band met through classified ads in the local weekly. We had all played since childhood and we all had extremely eclectic tastes so when we got together we could basically do whatever we wanted. That's how we developed our sound. This music gets us really high, it keeps us humble, and it keeps us evolving. I hope you find it as fun to listen to as we had creating it. Thanx Jared

Story behind the song
This song is about all the trivial little status symbols people buy. The persuit of these things then contribute to society's problems by keeping people's attention on the wrong things. Happiness can't be packaged but our economy is doing a wonderful job of making people believe that it can.
Lyrics
Boycott Wireless How convenient Feed me information intravenously Make it seem everything comes so easily So I forget my conscience If I believe it Girls won’t fuck me if my car’s a piece of shit Cell-phone reassurance, need a piece of it The mob of sirens profit Why the lack of conversation Despite advances in Communication Billions of words with no meaning Your wasted energy Is wasted on me My independence Was thrown away By my concern for The way I looked through other peoples’ eyes Give me adoration for a fee Chemical engineering for my feelings Everything except for honesty Weak and begging for acceptance Why the self-manipulation Mediaslave supported by Ideological masturbation And leave it on your own doorstep Take your flaming bag of shit I see your inside Paralyzed by the outside view Keep your hostages defined by Product placement of the lies you mass produce I am not amazed And I am not pacified By your innovations I gonna be a virus in your system That flicker before the black Shout back at your prison Leave none of your influence intact Your empire will fall How convenient Diamonds, cars and clothes and lower self-esteem How we give in to you way to easily Accept this all as normal I see your inside
