My band LIZARDS FROM AFAR have more or less gone on extended hiatus due to life. However, the guitar player and I had/have a few songs that we were in the middle of recording. Here is one the we just finished I thought my crew here on VVFF would like.
It's a good, old fashioned 80s style anthem. Like back in the day when you had to fight for your right to party, we weren't going to take it and the youth had gone wild. (Or at least as best we can do.)
It's called WE CORRODE.
You can listen and download it from the link below.
I'd love to hear what people on the board think...good, bad or ugly!

WE CORRODE
Hey there preacher man
Try and stop us if you can
We're gonna save - rock and roll
You thump your holy book
But stop and take a look
You have lost - all control
And if you give us one listen
We will crawl under you skin
And take you over like an alien
We corrode
Your moral code
You wish that we were gone
But we keep fighting on
Hey there congress man
Democrat, Republican
You can't legislate - rock and roll
You sit up on the hill
Try to enforce your will
You have lost - all control
And if you give us one listen
We will crawl under you skin
And take you over like an alien
We corrode
Your moral code
You wish that we were gone
But we keep fighting on
Oh say does that star spangled banner still - ROCK
-guitar solo-
And if you give us one listen
We will crawl under you skin
And take you over like an alien
We corrode
Your moral code
You wish that we were gone
But we keep fighting on

Open your window and see the real world
To know what you've been missing
Come out of the shadows
Insecurity lies
In a heart afraid to listen
To know what you've been missing
Come out of the shadows
Insecurity lies
In a heart afraid to listen

So everybody's so blown away by the sheer awesomeness of my new song that they can't even form coherent sentences extolling my genius. I'm embarrassed.
Open your window and see the real world
To know what you've been missing
Come out of the shadows
Insecurity lies
In a heart afraid to listen
To know what you've been missing
Come out of the shadows
Insecurity lies
In a heart afraid to listen

Only been on my iPhone when I've had the time to listen! Some cool guitar tones and melodies there. I lIke Mr Peabody! Sounds like a song that would be on a Kevin Smith film! Clerks 3 anyone???!!!!
And Pickles....

And Pickles....
Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains!

I just like the cartoon. One of my faves from when I was growing up. I've written several lyrics that revolve around my favorite cartoons...the guys in the band told me I had done enough...
Thanks for listening. I appreciate it. I hope they are something you enjoy as we do it just as a hobby.
