Daveski

Hard-rocking, guitar-driven blues-influenced music.

Note June 2024: All of the songs with a RED guitar picture tag to the left were recorded LIVE over backing tracks created with an Nux Loop Core and an Ammoon Pock-Rock. Glarry GTL semi-hollow tele copy guitar used. Mini digital voice recorder with Shure and Fender mikes captured it all live. All the songs with yellow guitar picture tag are the previously recorded blues style songs. These are some songs I started writing and recorded in late 2005, early 2006. I recorded them at home in my loft using cassette machines and a couple of microphones. Pretty barebones stuff. I keep writing and adding new songs as I get the motivation. Life provides lots of that. Check out the videos that I just added, all performed with Crazy Mixed Up World. (see Crazy Mixed up World at reverbnation.com). Songs sound best with headphones.

Story behind the song

My anger about the whole political/socio-economic/media-driven BS of life.

Lyrics

21ST CENTURY BLUES(DP)
(Written by David R. Pankoski Jan 2006)


Arrogant media try to steer,  gullible men with lies & fear. 
Willing accomplices left of center,   in perverse partnerships they do enter.
Subject experts in their own minds,  Trying to steer the path of mankind. 
Vivid imaginations non-reality,  Affect the future of you & me.

Road rage career criminals,  Marketing messages so subliminal.
Left of center society,   Offer solutions? but are you free?
Control you from your day of birth,  Steer your every step on earth.
If you question their society,  Not acceptable?  You call that free?

Numbered days numbered lives,  Appease the masses to survive.
Mass hysteria under control,  Mere possessions make you whole.
Total world government,  Reality you can’t prevent.
Advancement of society,  Unfortunately not for you & me.    
  
Troubled heroes spread discontent,  Things dont happen as they were meant.  
Terror strikes fear in the hearts of all,  & then soon after freedoms fall.
Sick imaginations selfish plans,  Dissention spreads across the land.
Hypocrisy of men plain as day,  A simple vote won’t send it away. 

Only the losers have rules for wars,   Only fools try to keep a score.
Terror strikes fear in the hearts of all,   & then soon after liberties fall.
Nothing to hear but distorted truth,  Our sons & daughters sacrificed youth.
Listening ears & watchful eyes,  Big brother spreads the evil lies.
