lyrics

Mister Policeman
what do you do
but serve the wealthy
as I protect myself from you?
You think you're the judge and jury
and executioner

I read the paper
every morning
The one I subscribe to
comes with a warning that goes
"If you want the truth, buddy,
you've come to the wrong place

A great big storm's a-coming
It cannot be stopped

Mister Senator
don't you see
the gaping chasm
opening up beneath your feet
and the Taj Mahals of weapons
on every mountainside?

Madame Speaker
have you any clue
the balance of power
tilts from the many toward the few?
The order is collapsing
from every point of view

A tidal wave's approaching
and it cannot be stopped

Seeds are planted
and the farmer plows
You hear an engine
Somebody steered into the crowd
I do it for the thrill
and a thrill is what I get

A great big storm's a-coming
It cannot be stopped

Listen to the music
It's everything right now

C.W. Franz II
by C.W. Franz

In Charlie's words, this record is like travelling "all around the world (and the Mid-west) in just 36 minutes!" He's not kidding. I can't identify half the instruments he used, but they sound great. Kenny Hoffman

I often consult Ryan about my own recordings. Listen to his most recent EP to find out why. The arrangements! The humungous synths! The layers! The songwriting! I couldn't do any of it. Great stuff. Kenny Hoffman
