Electronic exploitation. No genre or sound is safe or honoured by Steven West. You're into something new now. And you're going to get it!
Steven West has been involved in the Canadian Music scene for many years. From garage bands in the 80's, to flourishing compositional and production work through the 90's. Electronic music is where West shines best. And having released his first 'solo' CD in 2000 entitled 'Electricky', he has definately 'found his sound' of conceptual music and CD's that take listeners on a journey from first track to last. A pure 'track journey' is West's 2002 CD release entitled 'Metalurge'. And a real 'space trip' can be had with Steven West's most recent release 'Analogistic' in 2003. As of early May 2006, the long awaited 'Geopoliticking' CD will be released. Comprising of many remastered 'experiments' that was put up here and elsewhere as MP3's. Woven into a chilling journey of political, economical, and moral evolution (or lack thereof?) Always daring, never compromising, Steven West delivers.

Story behind the song
I wanted a MC5 powerhouse tune to almost sound like black control/revolt. Little did I know Barrack Obama would become 'The Man' later on. Not that it's a song against him, or for him. It still resides as a cautionary message entwined within the state of the nation and/or the world.
Lyrics
"Get Down (You Got To)" - c2004 Steven West You got to get down Take it to the streets You got to get down With everyone you meet You got to get down Take it to the top You got to get down And never let it drop You got to get down You got to get down Acting like a terrorist You get down And never let it rest You got to get down Intensify the fear You got to get down In the rear with the gear Yeah, you get down You got to get down (Chorus) Don't let it get away from you And never let it change F*** it like a lover And you cover the full range You know it's yours, and yours alone No matter who's the leader Don't get distracted by legislations Overpaid useless cheaters You got to get down And take it to the bank You got to get down Empty out the tank You got to get down Open all the dams You got to get down Blow up Buckingham Yeah, you get down You trippy useless hippies Got to get down Your not safe in any city Yeah, you get down And wait for it to clear You got to get down The end is always near (Chorus) You know it's yours, and yours alone No matter who's the leader Don't get distracted by legislations Overpaid useless cheaters You got to get down The war is always on You got to get down The innocence is gone You got to get down And make everybody pay You get down Attacking everyday You got to get down Baby, baby, baby Yeah, you get down Doing New York City You got to get down We're all in it together Yeah, you get down Just talk about the weather (You got to get down) All the smoke is second hand (You got to get down) And no one understands (You got to get down) Sacrificing childern's fun (You got to get down) And teach them with a gun You got to get down.
