about

The rejection of the truth by those who enjoy ease and should know better

lyrics

Who pays for the strip malls,
parking lots, and corn walls
that line the freeway?

Who pays for the poison food,
the protests, the channels used
for nightly programming?

Who commissioned those
obnoxious ads that autoplay
while I’m pumping gas?

If we’re at peace,
then why do we wage war to eat
the heart out of the land?

I don’t know. Is this home?

Why do all the greatest minds
just waste their time
to read and write click bait?

What happens when democracy
consistently
selects our greatest morons?

Is it me, is it you?

Who pushed all this policy
to force the poorest
in the jaws of necessity?

How can we sit comfortably
in our TV command stations
bombing other nations?

I don’t know. I guess I’m slow.

We don’t make quite enough
to set aside our trust.
We want a safety net,
so we won’t have to ask You.

You gave us fish and bread.
You got into our heads.
Inside our hearts were cold;
we will not let You touch them.

And all the counterfeits,
they feel as real as this.
Would we risk all we’ve known
when we can’t tell the difference?

We come for fish and bread.
You offer life instead.
We don’t believe we’re dead.
You’d leave us empty-handed.

No, we’ll take up the stones
that You left untransformed.
They cry out for Your blood.
They’ll cry out till we cast them.
We know we know what’s best;
we put You to the test.

Crucify Him!

about

Warbler image

Warbler Oakland, California

When you hear the name Warbler, think of a folk-programmed bionic song-bird perched with joyful simplicity on the fresh rubble of a musical Apocalypse. Warbler’s self-titled album, the second effort of singer/songwriter Sean Sullivan, is an enjoyably off-putting cocktail of pure organic spirit set on electric fire. ... more
