The Load You Tow
06:22

the winds of change
blow mighty strange
theyll rearrange you
change your every view
the seed you sow
the load you tow
the life you know may glow
a different glow
tomorrow
from cradle til were granted sweet release
the only thing that we can say for sure is
this too shall cease
them bastards told me what to do
them bastards didnt have a clue
worked my whole life just scraping by
machine did grow and time did fly
right by
now good advice is all ive got to give
do what you wanna do and
have some fun while you still live
on your own
we live and die
and lie alone
live how you wanna live
cause were here one day and gone the next
were in and out and full of doubt
we leave like we lived lost and perplexed
so dont get too tied down
and dont you get yourself attached to anything
all things change despite your rage
the planets pants even the song you sing
were all just made of frequencies of waves
we are water cutting limestone into caves
we are living change
on our own
we live and die
but not alone....

I had a drastic shift in paradigm
i was overwrought with overtime
so tired of the pantomime
sick of corporate ladders and the climb
i was told it was in my mind
but i just couldnt shake the feeling i was victim of a true crime.
its not just hyperbole
i hate the game and the referee
its a sick sad society
thats left its mark on me
were all born draftees
in a war that makes me question our humanity
and sanity
im cracking up
im breaking down
im breaking out
an awol draftee
im breaking up
with society
every day i punch a clock
but i really wanna punch a cop
head spinning like a toy top
neurons firing like pop rocks
working like a fucking robot
wondering when its gonna stop
every word on the tv is a fucking lie
from the president to his apple pie
theyre all telling me to buy buy buy
and were just not seeing eye to eye
through being the fall guy
time to open up my minds eye
and then im gonna say goodbye
im cracking up....

Part of it
04:22
|

I fell ive been here before
standing outside your door
youve got your own life now
and im not part of it
but my big ole heart is bold
and this soul is old
past lives flash before my eyes
and you are part of it
your face is like the sun
i still see it when i close my eyes
your love is like the moon
so full and so bright and so wise
you leave me hynotized
you make my soul
rock and roll
you make me who i am
in ways only you can
i hope in my next life
that you are part of it
cause we are all made of stars
and although that may seem bizarre
when in your eyes i see galaxies
i know that we're all part of it.....

Your Truth is Violence
03:04
|

The news line says The village is burned
The children all dead Religion is learned
The newsline says The warning is Stern
The virus has spread The channel gets turned
Refrain: buried in our hearts and our souls
Our truth is violence
Buried in our blood and our bones
Our comfort's violence
The newsline says The game is war
Child don't fret Innocence torn
The newsline says The forest is ill
The air is dank The oil is spilled
Refrain
The newsline says The chances are nil
Politicians just set So swallow this pill
Refrain

Get It On

i wanna play you like a guitar
start out slow then make it real hard
so soft and sweet ill make your heart sing
and then so rough ill snap your G string
love you so good ill leave you in a trance
we'll do the no pants romance dance
and get it on
get it on
we all get a little lonely
and we all feel a little homely
but thats no reason not to get down
theres no excuse tonight for that frown
im gonna kiss you like im from france
we'll do the no pants romance dance
and get it on
get it on.......

Mix Tape
03:21
|

hey son when i was young
there was music on the radio and songs got sung
we would stay up late night undercovers by its light
capturing our favorites till the sun shone bright
to make a mix tape.
now to make it big
you gotta be a despot
you gotta be a robot
its all recycled and about nothing
all theyre playing is the play button
we've lost all meaning and the melody
too busy building brands and equity
our dreams and passions turned to schemes of pensions
a life of servitude to chase conventions
we need to escape and reshape
we need to make our own mix tape
the M in Mtv is ironic
the soul is gone the lyrics are moronic
id rather join the wolves howling at the full moon
when all im hearing is another song with auto-tune.....

the Hang Lows Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Disgruntled with the business of main-stream music, the Hang Lows dance to the beat of their own drums and offer their music
for free (or pay what you want).
Songs about getting old, fornication, drug abuse, philosophy, and of course their own genitalia are well represented on this, the bands' third studio album entitled MIX TAPE.
