about

The world at large is in turmoil, with ever more political leaders seeking to divide and denounce, rather than to unite and build up. Fingers are pointed, others are blamed, while the masses are being set up against each other with simplistic rhetoric and seemingly simple solutions.

Sadly, all of this has happened before and all of this is happening again, and we know the outcome all too well...

lyrics

Desperate they turned to a man
They did not understand
Poisonous words burrowed deep
Inside of their heads

Given to lies and misinformation
Plying their fears with frantic persuasion
Masked by the promise of making
Them great again

Like rats to a lake of fire
Selling their morals for dollar signs

Needy they turned to a man
Who did not understand
Something for nothing just works
In a fairytale land

Impossible dreams for the uneducated
Impractical goals for the young and unaided
Selling false hope on the back
Of the hard working man

Like sheep heading to the slaughter
Trading their future for instant reward

Like rats to a lake of fire
Sold their souls for dollar signs
Hear the tune of the loathsome piper
Worse than the blind leading the blind

Like sheep heading to the slaughter
Trading their future for instant reward
Hear the blade of the executioner
Readying them for the butcher’s board

Thus, Trans World Tribe was born. And they mean business. ... more
