about

The idea of being on board a crashing comet seemed to be a pretty apt description of the global economic system. This is especially so when you compare its ecological impact and the effect of a comet crashing into the planet.

Comet is a 3-miniute acoustic guitar thrash with a catchy chorus and poignant theme. I wanted it to sound like a pop song with a grudge.

lyrics

LYRICS

All the cards that you hold,
It's as black as ace of spades down in that hole,
In the ground,
and there's never quite enough to go around.

In the dirt of this trade,
In the politics of money men are made,
or replaced,
by finer individuals who are...

CHORUS
Holding on to the tail of a crashing comet,
Cutting keys to a safe with your name upon it,
Breaking into a bank with nothing in it,
We're winning while we're losing every thing.

Man the pumps,
Paint the tanks,
Rain the catapults down in amongst their ranks.
Cause we're free,
To covet oil and call it democracy

CHORUS
Holding on to the tail of a crashing comet,
Cutting keys to a safe with your name upon it,
Breaking into a bank with nothing in it,
Hey, we're winning while we're losing every thing.

REPEAT CHORUS
