lyrics

There’s no reason to watch

For the ones who dictate your thoughts

So easy and clear

To control you with fear



Fear that you’re not wise enough

To entrust your heart within

So you narrow your mind

Broaden your view of sin



You hand me your weekly flyer

Ask me to read of the fire

And how my evil entreats

The six-headed beast



You’re waiting each week to read

Your directions on how to believe

Straight from the source

Factory for liturgy



The scribes in their towers

They’re wielding their power

Over you my friend, confused compassion



You steal your children away

Find evil in tender play

You censor their minds

With excoriate fines



It must be so simple for you

To take what you’re given as truth

So safe and secure

So mechanically sure



Was there a point in time

Or did you slowly unwind

The strings of control

In your marionette mind



How sincere can you be

Only aim is converting me

Another notch in your belt of

Sanctificity



The pious in their tower

They’re wielding their powers

Over you my friend

Confused compassion

about

Steven Kattenbraker Washington

Part Eliott Smith, part L. Cohen, as run through the production wringer of Daniel Ash…Kattenbraker’s baritone voice is pleasant and soothing. The guitar work sweet and mellow and, might I add, deftly played… Portland’s Music Liberation Project
