Ghost Train RadioPraise The Lard!
Praise the Lard
Pass the ammo
Russian Roulette
Is your gamble
Load that gun
Pull the trigger
Now you feel
So much bigger
Praise the Lard
Church and state
Christian Soldiers
Nationalist hate
Send your money
To the rich
There's nothing left
You stupid bitch
Take up sides
Against ourselves
Hate your brother
Everyone else
Work for evil
Men of greed
Men in power
The devils seed
Money changers
Profits (prophets) of doom
Take your money
Give you gloom
Its too late
You'll never learn
Smell the smoke
As America Burns
Today’s song came about after I wrote the bass line – I wanted it to be sort of punk-ish – and simple blues progression came out – which is somewhat related – since many garage bands first learn very simple blues progressions and repeat them ad nauseum.
I usually get my lyrics ideas from either “current events”, historical events or inventions, nature, or one of my many Assemblage pieces – and today’s is using an Assemblage as my guide. The vocals also begged to be sung as if I were a Televangelist. Hey – I will use this approach again – it infuses comedy in a way that really works well.
The vocals are influenced by listening to Primus do “Jerry Was a Race Car Driver” – which is hilarious – as most Primus songs are.
