These are some lyrics I wrote for this one band that did nothing and went nowhere. I think I took the lyrics and put them to another song later on, but I don't think we ever played it as The Reprehensibles. I think its safe to say that we were pretty drunk when we were in that band, so memories are a little foggy, to say the least.
Stranglehold
Since I was a boy, freedom was something I could not grasp
Read about what my forefathers wanted in the past
I thought America was free, but never understood
You can only be free if you pay elected hoods
If this tyranny is freedom, what is it like to live in Guam
Being fed from a dictators palm
Only in America we're fed blood money and oil
The rich men laugh as the poor men toil
So what the fuck are we supposed to do?
Live life in a stranglehold
Or just hang from a noose
Hope the legs on the chair don't fold
I won't hang by the neck, I'll string up all of you
When I cut the rope from my neck, what the fuck are you going to do?
Well, I'm a man now, and I see right through their shit
Hope you're not a fool who believes any of it
The fucking media will tell you all sorts of lies
Come up with your own conclusions, thats how I get by
I'll never be happy with this corporate country
Because it wasn't designed for me
If this is what patriots wanted, why the fuck did they die?
I'm a new kind of patriot that's not satisfied
It feels like I'm chasing
Figments of my imagination
Running myself ragged
Over things that can never be
But when the face of freedom looks me in the eye and laughs
And says you cant catch me
I'll shoot that fucker in the legs, so he cant get away
