Description
Music, backup vocals, all musical performance, arrangement, production by Gabe U. (gator4040)

Lyrics/lead vocals by Alfredo R.

I thought about writing a long, charged description about this song but decided against it. The lyrics say it all.

Many thanks to my talented cousin Alfredo R. for once again lending his lyrical talent to me on this one. I had this song completed for a while and after discussing the song’s concept with him, he nailed it like a pro. I love my country and I fear for its long term well being. I hope our leaders who are and who are to be, screw their heads on straight and set things right very soon. There is a lot of wisdom and honor from the great leaders of our past, I hope they are listening and learning from it.

Thanks for the listen, enjoy, and feedback is very welcome.

p.s. any guesses on the Identities of the samples?

Lyrics
We died on the sword, and we’re still sayin’ the pledge...
And its forbidden in schools, a Patriot laid to rest.
Over profit and gain, another CEO's paid
Another terrorist slain, oh brother I feel your pain
Whatever happened to God? Where did we go wrong?
We used to demonstrate faith, Religion’s falling apart
They say that business is big, too big to put in the charts
Another scandal in sight, and we’re still kept in the dark.

Chorus
We’re falling down again
Get yourself off the ground cuz its time to make a turnaround
Falling down again
We’re getting back in the battle because we’re not backing down!

V2
Accountability, disappeared with liability
Responsibility, now it means nothing
Politicians have us thinking, that we have a right to think
However, in reality, what we think is extinct
We killed the insurgents, like Osama Hussein
But what's insane is to continue to attack and invade
A foreign territory, Cuz it's our home that's decayed
Intensity in every city, this is Citizen Kane!

V3:
A word to the wise, let's take a look at the past
Remember when we used to listen to our moms and our dads?
We used to show up to vote, and we used to show up for class
We used to show up to pray, we payed a dollar for gas
We trust in a system, that gave us the shaft
Remember when a dollar was a buck and a half?
Remember television? How it made us laugh!
Now the only thing we watching is society crash!

Surgical Strike
Steller production. I really like the full sounding mix, everything sounding big and badass! Cool mix of soundbites, raps and effected vox. A very cool topical song about America's current state, though the thought could really apply to just about any country struggling in our current times. At some points the raps are a bit tricky to understand, but this may be that they are going up against a thick soundbed, a minor observation.

Intense and very well done.

Hey Kicbal! Thanks for checking it out and as always for the comments and feedback. Alfredo had a faster delivery style in his raps this time around which makes you focus a bit more. There is also heck of a lot going on in the mix as well which was a beast for me to control. Thanks again!

woah!
Yeeeshhh, There's gator and then there's Gator! I love the historical approach to the world view-nice touch. Some pretty strong statements about our current affair-which seems upside down at the moment.

Great job with production as always. The vocals for the chorus seemed a bit low on my speakers-was it your voice? Rocking guitar intro was powerful to get my attention. The lyrics are awesome and kept me engaged with your message. Great job!

Hey PG, thanks for stopping by as always! This one's been festering in the Gator swamp for some time now. Im glad you liked it, and yes those are my vocals on the chorus. My cousin did the rapping like on my song "ANEW" and I was straddling a fine line between vocals being to loud and too soft. Im hoping I found the happy medium. Thanks again!!!

Well Done!
Great mix and composition. The piece keeps moving right along with lots of fresh ideas, twists, and ornamentation. Strong arrangement skills! Also, I dig the tone and harmonic content from the guitar.

I absolutley love big riffing and this has some fantastic riffs! Great tone you get on the guitar. Reminds me of some of the better nu metal stuff. Music to jump around to!

Sevendust
What a band! and this is up there with one of their tunes. Hard hitting riffs, punching kick drum, cool lyrics and the samples really add to the blows. Accomplished song writing here. That guitar tone is spot on.
