Lyrics
Get up, get up
mmm, rise up

All the time that you've been wasting,
All the years that passed us by,
You act so apathetic, hide

"Stay the course" you won't regret it,
Ultimate authority,
Everything is copasetic,
Rise up,

ohhh

All that we see on TV, I guess that's just what bothers me
Turn it off and you will see, find the thoughts inside of me
CNN and NBC, its all the same, its crap to me
Control your mind and you will see, feel your will and set it free
Set it free

All the stories that you've been telling,
All the time that you deny,
Your words are so pathetic, lies
Stay the course you won't regret it,
Ultimate authority,
everything is copasetic, rise

Get up, get up
Rise up

All the time that you've been wasting,
All the years that passed us by,
You act so apathetic, hide

"Stay the course" you won't regret it, ultimate authority,
everything is copasetic, rise up,

Make your choice, get off the fence
And don't give into influence
Pointing fingers in defense, our Prez is lacking evidence
Don't be scared of dissidence, despite his lack of competence
Unjust war it makes no sense, all leads to a consequence

All the stories that you've been telling, all the time that you deny
Your words are so pathetic, lies
"Stay the course" you won't regret it, ultimate authority,
everything is copasetic, rise...

Hair!
This has a cool retro musical theatre vibe, like the stuff from HAIR. I dig the old school organ. It has a demo feel, but is intriguing and fun. I especially liked all the rhymes in the "dense" stanza. Nice lead guitar too. I'm off to listen to more of your stuff...
