Flood the Zone

Liner Notes

Fair warning. I may end up writing an entire album of Protest Songs this year. But I'd like to focus on things we can do, rather than dwelling too much on the dumpster fire that is the world right now. So this is a song about flooding the zone with happiness when "they" try to flood the zone with shit. I think FAWM is a perfect example of how we can make the world a better place by celebrating creativity and joy!

Lyrics

Verse 1
They’re trying to make you feel like you should just give up.
They keep flooding the zone, come what may.
They’re using cruelty and hatred to divide us.
They’re trying to break your spirit every day.

Pre-chorus
Well, fuck that.
Here’s what to do instead…

Chorus
Flood the zone with happiness.
Flood it with compassion.
Overwhelm with art and joy.
That’s how we’ll surpass ‘em.

Verse 2
They have a strategy designed to distract you,
To make you feel disheartened and depressed.
They want you to believe that they have all the power,
That you are just a pawn in their game of chess.

Pre-chorus
Chorus

Bridge
When they flood the zone with shit
And you’re not sure how to counter it,
All you need is just a little bit
Of joy.
When you choose to create,
Instead of feeling hopeless and irate,
You will unleash something great,
Oh boy!
So go and unleash all that hope and joy!

Chorus
