Description:
This is the first of my 2 song set. The lyrics are pretty standard punk angst. The main riff is actually from one of the first songs I learned on guitar ages ago with my high school punk band "The Soggy Waffles". We sounded much worse than this however.

Lyrics:
You can't tell us what to do or say
We're not your puppets we're not for sale
I'm gonna get out the word and yes we're here to stay
We're gonna fight for our rights watch out the revolution's on it way

And we won't stop
And we can't stop
Listen to the call
It's gonna break down the wall

Just listen to the people shouting
We're gonna rise up we're gonna climb the mountain
I know what's right don't need the man to tell me
We won't lie down, We won't lie down

What was that you say?
Follow blind no way, hey!
And who you think I should be
Don't tell it to me!

Where I should go and what I should see
What I can wear and who I should be
We're not gonna listen, we're not gonna take it
Give us a law and watch us break it.

You can't tell us what to do or say
We're not your puppets we're not for sale
I'm gonna get out the word and yes we're here to stay
We're gonna fight for our rights watch out the revolution's on it way

And we won't stop
And we can't stop
And who you think I should be
Don't tell it to me!
Don't tell it to me!
Don't tell it to me!
Don't tell it!

It has a sort of MC5 feel to it..but then again sounds pretty up to date and sits well with the rest of your stuff.
I like it.
Cheers

Mc5 freakin rocked, so thats a compliment. Thanks for listening. I used much different guitar sounds, but otherwise it is similar to my other work.

Thanks Vic. The music is the easy part. I struggled getting the vocals right and just finished today. Your CBGB track was great too.

Playing this song took me back to my high school days. Man do I wish we had Mac's and Garageband back then - I would have a library of this music.
Happy Birthday to your Son!

thanks.

The music was recorded in about an hour. I was going to add some feedback in parts but I got lazy (how punk is that)

revolution &mdash 05/04/08 - 10:25:14 PM
Here comes the revolution. The title of one of my punk bands albums was "The Evolution of Revolution" Thats probably where I got the vocal inspiration from.

Yeah, I'm a sucker for endings like that. I think 3 if my posts have something similar. All in the name of punk.
Thanks for the comments Phil.

If the revolution is waiting for an opening shot, this is it! Excellent sound with a snarly edge - great mix. Let it begin!

I'm not even sure I have an original. I'd love to hear it too. The main riff was the same but everything else different. I think I was like 17 at the time.
Fun trip though. Thanks man

You do it so well &mdash 05/05/08 - 01:07:12 PM
The second track of yours I've listened to and both bloody superb.

The sound, production, lyrics, guitars, vocals, everything is just perfect for this song.

:-)

Cheers

Thanks for putting up with me twice. Definitely not a sweet song but not all punk is. I actually thought about rewriting the lyrics but didn't have time.
Punk rules.

Fantastic - &mdash 05/05/08 - 06:10:57 PM
I love the way the first chorus leads straight into the second verse without a breath - very old school punk - perfect touch. Killer guitars and vocals too.

vox &mdash 05/05/08 - 11:00:00 PM
The way the vocals were strung together was the way I envisioned it, yeah you're right it gives it that old school style.
Thanks for listening Bud, your demos have sounded great!
