(Oakland/Kenosha/Los Angeles/Milwaukee)
Recorded at Sound of Sirens, Sun Valley, CA Nov 9th 2016. The *DAY* after 45’s election.
To say that was a surreal time to be creating is an understatement.
Lyrics were written after seeing Ericka Huggins from the Black Panthers speak with W. Kamau Bell.
I went to the practice space, wrote all the lyrics and one of a handful of guitar “solos” i’ve ever truly loved. -Conan
“You can’t start a revolution outside, until you start a revolution inside.”
lyrics
Didn't expect a revolution, but I expected more than this.
I wanted to use my voice, but instead I'll use my fists.
It's darkest before the dawn, but not half as dark as inside
can't start a revolution outside, until you start a revolution inside
Enough talk, enough talk
The time has come today
Enough talk, enough talk
Don't let fantastic become mundane
Vengeance in my heart. And an insult on my lips
You thought you knew what to expect. You expected nothing like this.
Nice wont do, In a knife fight, don't forget to stand tall
The way you knock down, a wall, Its just hammer, chisel, fall.
Enough talk, enough talk
The time has come today
Enough talk, enough talk
Don't let fantastic become mundane
