FAWM: "As the World Turns (You're not the Resistance)"

As the World Turns (You're not the Resistance)

NSFW

Liner Notes

Given I have hit my 14 this time round I am taking the opportunity of revisiting some older lyrics that I was not completely happy with first time around.

I think this version has a bit more acid to it.

Been mainly using Logic this year but this was done with Cubase 14

Lyrics

Well let me tell you ‘bout forever wars
Orwell warned us about in 1984
The enemy constantly changes
The war remains the same

Always rides in on the self same lie
Why should they care it’s your sons who die
The thinnest moral wrapper
To hide their evil scheme

Media sirens sing
The tills will ring
Here for the people the little folk
Believe me man that’s one sick joke

Vietnam, Afghan, Libya, Sudan
The list goes on and on
The only common thread to see
Are the dead kids they build their fortunes on

Pre

But you swallow it whole
Every single time
This way for the grinding death machine
Form an orderly line

Chorus

As the world turns
So we die
Millions of people like you and I
Feeding the machine
Block your ears while millions scream (2)

You vote these fuckers in
So you gotta share the blame
They tell you what you want to hear
Again and again and again

And it will never end
We gotta take it to the street
And when we say “not in my name”
We have to march on to that beat

If you are on the same side as the Main Stream Media, UN, WEF, FBI, NSA, CDC, CIA, Big Tech and Big Pharma

You’re probably not the resistance

@jem thanks for the kind words, sadly accurate lyrics testified to by piles of corpses.

@jem 3d

Wow this is such a powerful narrative and the changes in tempo and delivery make it so interesting and give it a real hook into the lyrics. Great chorus too and love when the keyboard comes in.

@consolidated 5d

Yeah! Nice groove for this. The choruses play off the verses very nicely, and I dig the quick rap at the end—great!

@briggs 5d

Great protest song. I really like the stylistic change in the 4th stanza and the build through the pre chorus and chorus.

@billwhite51 Amen to that Bill

now this is a real protest song. not some regurgitated vomit from nefarious media sources..but calling out the real thugs and the sheep that support them. a nation that didnt raise an eyebrow when the two major parties chose their presidential candidates without a primary election. and then screamed through the election like dodgers fans hating the yankees and yankee fans hating the dodgers. using hate words like maga and woke instead of engaging in civil debate on issues that concern us all....while wars break out all over the world, fought with out weapons and sometimes our children. daveyboy is calling out the whole system and calling for a resistance movement. but the people who believe the system is killing them are too busy hating each other to get together and fight.
