Never Hear The End

Liner Notes

Big thanks to @makessense for the lyrics, who I was paired with in the random collaboration challenge. I asked for something along the lines of how I get frustrated with those who wield great wealth and power, and I am very pleased with how it turned out.

Lyrics

It’s quite sobering that the man gets drunk
The fact he can drive while I’m all but sunk
I’ve known a thing or two so my vote’s out
My conscience is alive when I’m thrown out

We take it slow while they get up on speed
Can take from us what they then make us need
I’d break the flow if I could try again
My aching head is trapped in a pig pen

If this speaks to you then do speak again
Never let em have it, never hear the end
If I’m over the hill, you’re round the bend
Never let em have it, never hear the end

The assembly line aristocracy
never ever seemed quite all right to me
Oligarchy and the hypocrisy
Drink from an assassin’s cup greedily

Never let em have it, never hear the end
Never let em have it, never hear the end

Another great collab resulting from this challenge. I hear the angst and frustration in the lyrics and music both. Big fan that you used the electric guitar here and took a quite minimal chord progression. This really suits the vibe.

What a good antsy lyric and I love the delivery, has a Tom Verlaine feel in those guitars! I’ve um! Great collab.

The frustration is plentiful and pours through the track generously. You've certainly captured a good portion of the world's sentiment here. Mission, mightily accomplished.
