lyrics

Tell little johnny to come in
'Cause the sun might burn his skin
And the rain
Might get into his eyes
Steel structures built so high
Block the sun out from the sky
Few trees too small to fall
Fight to survive

chours
And the rich all left up in the rocketships
And poor were left never to be found
But there was never any real hope
For anybody anyway
Oh the day the world came tumbling
To the ground

Population overflowing
Earth's cancer ever growing
Raised to consume
But not to care
Yeah a nation built on greed
Using much more than you need
Don't waste your breath
Using up all our clean air

chorus

Smoke stacks burning black
Turn rivers into ash
Where the fish all float
And the birds fall from the sky
There were riots in the streets
People left nothin to eat
When the crops all dried
And fires took to the rise

chorus

You're going to feel it the next morning. ... more

One of my Favorite purchases on bandcamp . This is some gut wrenching heavy psych blues. This three man band from Kentucky play some of the finest dirtiest blues i have ever heard. Electric Mud is the dirtiest blues song i have ever had the pleasure to hear , it is worth the price alone. They say you have to live the blues to play the blues, these gentlemen must know all about living the blues. Fucking outstanding. lloydd

This album is just perfect in a minimalistic sense. There's nothing you could take away from it without making it worse and nothing to add that would make it better. 10/10 avalun
