lyrics

some of us survived
some of us were told we couldn't stay
some made out alright
but they're the ones who would've anyway

the madness cut through the crowd
while leaving some of us sane
the voices got very loud
the implications were plain
dissent just wasn't allowed
and all solutions were vague
in the year of the plague

some rejected truth
for daring not to tally with their lie
some of us just laughed
to think we'd looked the devil in the eye

the madness cut through the crowd
while leaving some of us sane
the voices got very loud
the implications were plain
dissent just wasn't allowed
and all solutions were vague
in the year of the plague

bring out your dead, somebody said
the unafflicted ones have fled

some of us survived
but then again, somebody always does
someone has to write
a true account of how it really was

the madness cut through the crowd
while leaving some of us sane
the voices got very loud
the implications were plain
dissent just wasn't allowed
and all solutions were vague
in the year of the plague

GET RUDE!
by Dan O'Connell & The Cast Of 1,000s

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records

Songs From Your Face
by Jeffy

Jeffy makes four-trackin' fun. Each cassette he sells has a one-of-a-kind collage for art. Rubberstamp Records
