lyrics
They were in the phase of colonial ways of rule
And in those bad old days, it was me that they couldn’t recruit
Atlanta turned and then we all proclaimed the truth
The distant clamor displayed their iniquitous rage as cruel
Cold wartime economy
The problem ‘til today was an obvious aim to please
Until they abdicated for a dream that was more diseased
Than every magistrate and policeman upon the street
The vision darkens in death, and you leave them with no repeal
Cold wartime economy
So you see that you played the fool
When you lost no time to school
They trapped you in the knots of plain delusion
You gotta kill to slay, to beat them, to plead the fifth
Your honor is thrilled to say that you won’t say what you did
To win the battle, you see, you won’t let your place within
Concede your sad estate to at least one or more of your kids
Cold wartime economy
Then the twister came too soon
And the tinman turned spittoon
Suffragists would become the fists of the revolution

Anything by him is worth checking if not owning. A true musical whiz with seemingly infinite hook-filled melodies and killer songs. Start anywhere and this is a good one. Jennifer Jupiter

The songs on this new album are either smooth but tight or rock your world. Above and Beyond their already outstanding sound, "Take out the Poison" will enter your inner being with songs that penetrate your soul through lyrics and music that are uniquely their own. These songs are the most diverse yet similar from their other albums. Listen to their songs they are awesome. The Bye Bye Blackbirds continue to exude their special sound of infinite talent. They have done it again and I believe always will; as if there was ever any doubt about these gifted musicians. Rock on Gentlemen! "Take out the Poison" is a winner ! I am me
