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

Paradoxical and parallel
Massing for the prize
Ignorant and stubborn
Sheltering the demise
Cruel and discriminate
A history of social walls
Electric with prejudice
Throwing funeral balls

We’re living a faux life
With injected strife
No butter spread by knife
Cause the guns that we run
Enact such a heavy tithe

And it seems I am a witness
To these shortsighted goals
But I do not have the fitness
To breech the rocky shoals
I am the silent caged bird
Whose spirit has been drained
So I do not speak a word
So I do not relieve my pain
So I do not relieve my pain

I’m living a faux life
With injected strife
No butter spread by knife
Cause the guns that we run
Enact such a heavy tithe
