So listen to our music and hit us up if it's something you'd be interested in.

We're looking for someone creative who loves time changes and has stage presence.  You'll need to be able to learn fast so we can get back to shows as quickly as possible.
You need to have your own equipment and the means to haul that equipment.

First i wanna thank everyone who hung out with us, played with us and came out to support us this weekend. It was a crazy and amazing weekend. thank you all so much!

In the coming week dallas will be leaving for a bike tour to georgia for almost the entire month of june. Before he leaves, we will be getting brand new promo shots taken, and while he is away we will be assembling and sending out press kits. We're also gonna be working on new material while hes gone and hopefully try to get back with our good friend scott at ihava studios and record some new songs for you guys. Dallas will be back at the end of june and we will be back to playing shows again!

Also, as many of you know, We have been in circulation on Loud and Local (sundays from 9pm-10pm) on 94 WYSP (as well as other local philly radio stations).

And second, we want to thank all of you once again for either calling or texting your requests to hear us in. You can text your request to 99771 and keep listening on sunday nights!

Epigrammatic lyrics



1776 Ain't No Thang



And this leads me to believe

that all your hopes of a better life

a return to structure

lie in the hands of liars

but i pay the propaganda no mind



All your tee shirts all your buttons

money spent in vain

choose a side of the tracks and if it's not the side i'm on



i will call the hoards down upon you

this is a war for the rich

who will stand to profit

may you burn at the stake

lest you be more patriotic than me

proud to be an American

proud to sleep in safety

this is not the change we need



we are men of action lies do not become us

we are men





Hey Ms. Robinson



this curse came in the form of a blessing wrapped in a blanket to keep her warm

so now you need to take some responsibility for your actions



God help the children you've all abandoned



And you said her eyes were never more true

and you claim you never loved her more

then you leave her alone in the night

and now tell me how this shows that you care I just feel like if I scream all night tonight

I can always sleep tomorrow But she will hold strong

not for herself and not for you and the people will call for something dramatic

and it will shake them out of the their apathy and know now as you let your hand fly

you will never be forgiven for this ask yourself how you could strike something so beautiful









Defenestration of Prague



We were never smarter than we are

trade faith for technology

and you will sleep in greed for your knowledge

Surrounded by your theories



you live on

you will be a legacy



How do I deny what i believe

when everything lines up so perfectly

and how do i deny what i believe

so call upon all that will follow

answer their questions

give them the answers

they want to hear

throw out your intellectuals

change is coming so be prepared

and i will not rest until we have a life that is better for

John Fonda

A term used to smear a bonafide war hero who, contrary to what the fuhrer would like his flock to believe, was indifferent to the whole hippie movement and wasn't even very close to Jane Fonda at all. Also a term used to describe someone whose actual records and actions, although confirmed by the navy and readily on display on their campaign site, is endlessly contradicted by a bunch of people who weren't even there and villified by others who are too lazy to check for themselves (see Bush voter). Anyone who suffers reputational losses due to slander.


Although the surveillance tape clearly showed Tommy taking the first swing, Andy ended up being the John Fonda and was suspended for fighting.

 We want to be a positive influence.  There are already enough negative ones.

Exemplify Son

Son be righteous in all that you do
because it will be come you
it's not who you are underneath but what you do that defines you

now these things I've said
this moral code
i wont be so bold to assume you'll follow

united we stand
divided we fall
buildings to ruble
family and all
ties undo and vanquished is all
that was holding you
so drink to your savior
drink your sin
drink just to drink
to drink again
i wont partake in this drink with you
but enjoy it just the same

Defenestration of Prague

you were never smarter than you were
trade faith for technology
and you will sleep in greed for your knowledge
Surrounded by your theories
your mentor
you live on
you will be a legacy
trying to prove that you can disprove what i believe
when everything lines up so perfectly
and how do i deny what i believe
so call upon all that will follow
answer their questions
give them the answers
they want to hear
throw out your intellectuals
change is coming so be prepared
and i will not rest until we have a life that is better for you

State of Grace
Once again the chaos will end and a new chapter should be written
But what's the point if all my life is behind me
nowadays i swear these dreams just  make me upset
how can I write something worth singing if I can't stop thinking
and if we all die then we all die but I just need a little more time
forget fifteen minutes I need a least 35 and I'm not going to
burn out before my time
And I've come through so much Don't get me wrong I'm grateful
You know I am but i just need to know what it's all for
i just need to know what it all means I'm not asking I'm begging show me
i came to you in full force straight right wing but it subsided
not the need just the belief and here I am
in the middle again moderate and modest
and again you humble me

Hey, Ms. Robinson
this curse came in the form of a blessing wrapped in a blanket to keep her warm
so now you need to take some responsibility for your actions this is your future
God help the children you've all abandoned
And you said her eyes were never more true
and you claim you never loved her more
then you leave her alone in the night
and now tell me how this shows that you care I just feel like if I scream all night tonight
I can always sleep tomorrow But she will hold strong
not for herself and not for you and the people will call for something dramatic
and it will shake them out of the their apathy and know now as you let your hand fly
you will never be forgiven for this ask yourself how you could strike something so beautiful

Neonatal
You can get through this you can't give up this was unexpected
the furthest thing from your train of thought but now it's here
and it's to stay this will fix the problem but it will not go away
the cure to the situation is not a cure at all you'll have to live with this
buy hey it's your choice it's the only one you have so chin up chin up
and if he's not there i will be
you must go through with it and i know the protesters they make it worse they don't know your situation
school bills and the families disapproval how can you have a child and expect it
to have the fullest life and they will call you a sinner and wave their signs
but only you know where your heart lies so cross cross the line
there is no room for doubt this was the right choice at the time
there is no room for guilt it will eat you alive if you let it
