lyrics

Mama’s in the kitchen mixing up some pharmies
Just a little cushion to help her day along
Pixel little fairies
Princess of the tech
Sister getting twisted up in the dark side of the net, oh no no no,,,

Daddy’s on a mission to buy a bigger gun
Some trigger happy migrant worker might try and take him out
Little baby brother big brother watch you play
They're training on sugar until you come of age

And you might be tired
Tongue tied and wired
Stare into the fire
It's time to wake up

While you were sleeping they took it all away
They did it with a smile in the broad light of day
You were deceived and they turned you into slaves oh no no no no…..

You might be tired
Tongue tied and wired
Stare into the fire
It's time to wake up now

Now don't you roll over
and give me the shoulder
Gotta take off them blinders
IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP

Random Misfires
by Jeff Berlin

supported by 4 fans who also own “It's Time to Wake Up”

What a great album! The drums are sharp, well recorded and upfront, with various other instruments added to each track. These are brief, tightly written tunes with strong melodies, that in some ways remind me of a heavier version of Eno's 'Music for Films'. I stumbled across this while looking for the other, bass playing, Jeff Berlin, but this was a very happy accident. An absolute gem! Alan Terrill
