about

"Aggressive. The sound has gotten bigger. It has always been visual inducing, but feels even more so. Van Allen Belt has enlisted an army. Build a wall? How about a wall of sound, one for stadiums of those of us increasingly disaffected. The Baby Boom is crumbling around us and we need some new anthems for our era. The refrain is cynical and practical hope at the same time. I wasn’t ready for it in the beginning. Didn’t know how much I needed it by the end."
- Noel Hefele

lyrics

We're back in the USSSR
You see how lucky we are?
You see how lucky we are?

With all the fools on the hill
The lives and dreams that they kill
How do we swallow this pill?
How do we sit there so still?

Let it goddamn be unless it affects you

If you long for yesterday
Then you're not dark-skinned or gay
Or female in any way

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
We drew the back-breaking straw
And for the lowest of wages
And now they're putting children in cages

Let it goddamn be unless it affects you

Eggmen with the poisonous yolks
The cops are just killing folks
And always walk away clean
Most of us don't find that obscene

Human conscience, hello, goodbye
Be keep the pridefulness high
And first world arrogance is on parade
Popping wheelies in their motorcade

Let it goddamn be unless it affects you

Out of sight, out of mind

Let it goddamn be unless it affects you
