lyrics

Do what I want you to do,
Get a good job
for making money.
Buy this, buy that.
You need a car.
That's old stuff, so throw it out.
Hurry up.
You must succeed
But don't move
Refuse any change.
There's no life beyond the screen.

Don't read between the lines.
Don't welcome people from outside.
Don't be curious.
Don't waste your time.
Eat this food, wear these clothes.
Believe the news, believe in God.
Be afraid and close the door.

Oh, tell me boy, what's in your head?
Stupidity is worse than wickedness.

Nowzah!
I'm not like you.
Nowzah!
Ain't gonna follow you.
I disagree and know that I'm not alone.

Nowzah!
You in charge…
Nowzah!
Stop being cruel!
I'll go out and say out loud: I don't accept your rules.

Forged in Rhythm
by Keenan McKenzie

I love this ENTIRE album!!! How to chose a favourite (Well Read Baby?!) Keenan's album is a tour de force of songs that were written now, but he's so totally internalized the style that they sound like they are from another century! The musicianship, arrangements, and the voice of Laura Windley are great. This is my fave vocal showing from Laura, too! (and she has lots of great records) Can't recommend this highly enough Alex P
