They say they have compassion Just not in their backyards They’ve got theirs already So what if things are hard For others Small Town Tyrants (X4) They don’t want rent control And then vote against new housing Creating homelessness that they don’t want to see They say they care but just not anywhere Too close to their homes Their comfortable homes Because they’re Small Town Tyrants (X4) They form a citizens task force That fights to keep this town Entrenched in phony 1950s Nostalgia They run for city council They say they’re independent Then speak in dog whistles When they say “Oakland” They mean “Black” Being polite is more important Than being decent human beings It’s more rude to call out racists than to be one They just have different opinions Why can’t you just respect that? Can’t we all just be more positive? If you call them out one more time I’ll ban you from our happy little facebook group! Small Town Tyrants (X4) When they hear Black Lives Matter They say that all lives do And then they fly the flag For only lives of blue They say that they’re not racist Always with a disclaimer Profiling everyone On facebook groups And NextDoor Small Town Tyrants (X4)

This could be the last song I ever write. Because after tonight This all could be be outlawed by executive order If you’re caught making music you’ll be sent to the border Slave labor building walls for a madman Let’s face it, things are getting bad, man zero to hitler in 5 seconds flat And if you don’t believe that Then you might just be an asshat Tiny hands tear apart lives to feed the ego Of a dickless narcissist orange faced cheeto while deplorables sit by and cheer And the rest of us wonder how can this happen here They make excuses for genocide by cop Racism runs rampant, it’s never gonna stop The nazis crawled out from under the rocks They’re worse than the jocks In school if your were a punk makes me want to get drunk Or shoot junk Or just flee in the trunk Of a car Going far Out of here From the fear And anxiety crushing my psyche I might be Going crazy My thoughts getting hazy I’d rather be lazy Than fighting dictators and haters Like Ralph Nader fighting Darth Vader But I can’t take a break Because the stakes They’re so high So many died for our freedom So we’ve got to beat ‘em With sticks and stones And fists and bones Our words fly higher than drones And topple gold thrones Smashing their towers And taking their powers And laughing about all of Trump’s golden showers From Russian whores They’re trying to start wars Around the world Their chaos is unfurled Meant to distract from the act Of mass theft Bereft Of conscience It’s only money that matters Communities shattered To line their pockets And fill their dockets Imprisoning millions While making their billions Troops deployed Lives destroyed And all for fucking what?

Pestilence 03:21
Stay the hell inside Wear your goddamn mask Stay six feet apart Wash your fucking hands We must be stronger To flatten the curve We can get through this If we get serious This is not an infringement of your stupid rights This is survival Don’t spread misinformation Ignore conspiracies Never listen to Donald Trump Listen to doctors and medical professionals instead Don’t have your friends over Get your dinner to go Don’t go to parties Until it’s safe to go Don’t be a selfish American Think about others We don’t have to die We all can survive Just do the right thing And don’t be a dick

Restful sleep eludes me as the days just flow together. Mental health already wasn’t great under a deeply flawed capitalist healthcare system, now its limits pushed even further by a global pandemic mismanaged by a corrupt an inept government. Now it’s a full on crisis. Everything is a crisis. Isolation. Air pollution from a state on fire. An upcoming election with dire consequences globally and locally. Is this even real life anymore? Existential dread Stuck inside my head Thrashing in my bed I’ll sleep when I’m dead Our very survival has been politicized. One side rational and the other living in a complete fantasy world determined to drive us to extinction under the auspices of freedom while they simultaneously lick the boots out authoritarianism. Maybe we really deserve extinction. Perhaps as a species we’ve simply run our course. Plague is everywhere Fires choke the air Life is so unfair I don’t even care So much is at stake Bonds begin to break Mind and body ache Icing on the cake So here we sit on the brink of life or death, freedom or fascism, working ourselves to death for crumbs no matter what happens. How are you feeling? I’m just great! Now if only I could get some sleep. Patience growing thin Fascism creeps in Our societal sin Toss it in the bin

about

Merch now available at suburbandeathmarch.dizzyjam.com !!!

Like a similarly named album by a British giant of piano rock, the title is inspired by the studio. And the Hangry Chateau is pretty much whatever cramped space I could set up my laptop during the shelter in place of a global pandemic. This is a doomy, proggy, heavy meditation on the banality of suburban evil, current events, and the adverse effects of a global pandemic under a severely broken system.

released October 18, 2020

about

Suburban Death March Alameda, California

A solo recording project born in the plague years by a suburban dad in the East Bay. Sometimes heavy and doomy, often proggy, occasionally soundtrack-y or mellow, but always weird.
