lyrics
Parades for all, as God intended
Shades of a populist nightmare
You stayed resolved, you almost nabbed it
Brave and contagious you live
One day you could breathe as though your lungs were kept
In papers and collected poems
You dodge the draft in depth
Exploding within
The demon spawn of avarice
And greed is morality’s pretext
Careers and cars and vacant, distant dreams of rapacity fade
Once truth has absolved you of accomplishment
It’s treated like the social norm
You leave the rest unkempt in obvious need
Keep your bones and shed the ghost
Slip away to spare the closeness
You can leave before the judgment begins to intone
You may be so indoctrinated
You crash the occasional landmark
Engage yourself in complicated plans
And performative play
Right now they could bring you down
With no offense, exactly like they did before
With consequence and pain
And barely a sound
Take your guns and leave your post
Like you did when you were homesick
You can keep yourself redundant
Commit to the cause

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
