lyrics

The sun came out after the flood. And all the walking dead they rose up from the mud.
But these aren't like the zombies of the past. Zombies these days they move fast.

And if this here feeling's really here to stay, can I click my heels three times and make it all go away? Because this don't feel like home anymore. It feels more like it's 1984.

A twister tore down Main Street, and blew away the bank. Deposited my savings into the septic. But you don't have to be some kind of weatherman, to know to get out of the way when the shit has hit the fan.

And if this here feeling's really here to stay, can I click my heels three times and make it all go away? Because this don't feel like home anymore. It feels more like it's 1984.

A virus came down, took John Prine's breath away. It felt unfair
That he had to die alone with a tube down his throat, gasping for air.
We all cried together but apart, drinking vodka and ginger ale trying to nurse our wounded hearts

And the bastards can't say Black LIves Matter more, than the plantation battle flag of slave owners. But we're not in Bleeding Kansas anymore. It feels more like it's the Civil War.

Western Terrestrials Sharon, Vermont

Conjuring up sweeping panoramas of dusty astral plains and the allure of whiskey-laden honky tonks, Western Terrestrials are the kind of wry, unconventional outsiders country music could get used to. The Vermont-based group accomplishes a tricky feat: threading the needle between paying homage to classic country, and forging their own brand of unapologetic, hard-driving cosmic American music. ... more
