These colours don't run, we've only begun, we'll prove this world is flat.
On this site we have the 8 songs which make up the Crap Art album, where I wrote and recorded all 8 on March 31, 2004. The rules for the project and other examples can be found at the . However, I tried to make these songs as uncrappy as I could in the course of a day, and I think I succeeded for the most part.

Story behind the song
In a store window, somebody clipped an American flag out of a newspaper commemorating 9/11. The caption was "these colors don't run." Only problem is, 4 year old newsprint being what it is, all the colours actually did run. I had to celebrate the irony in a good old rockin' protest song. The riff came from screwing around with "Pleasant Valley Sunday" by The Monkees.
Lyrics
i saw a commercial while watching the news my eyes were almost blinded by the red white and blues i don't remember but i think they were selling easy chairs so i went to the market and i had to pause all they sold were ribbons for this week's cause your car could use another sticker there so you can cut someone off and show them that you care these colours don't run long as we have fun we can forget the fight these colours don't run just look at our one it's printed in black and white we'll complain about the country's swing but when the chance comes we won't change anything we shouldn't change our horses in mid-death we say we shouldn't outstretch our reach how can we practice if we can't even preach with every protest you're wasting your breath let's just stand back until there's nothing left these colours don't run ask our machine gun we'll put you in your place these colours don't run look at this foam one i can point in your face there's no need to worry, there's no need to fear because protesting isn't the rage this year we'll just shrug and say liberty's a drag so i guess we'll go back to our fuel-safe cars we'll laugh at politicians and we'll listen to stars and we'll all keep on wearing american flags printed on the cloth of a doorag these colours don't run terror has not won and i'm sure we'll drink to that these colours don't run we've only begun we'll prove this world is flat
