Song information
This song (from 2010 I think) is one of two that went missing many years ago.
I recently found them on a mislabelled CD compilation.

I already posted one of them back in January. Been hesitant to post this one for a couple of reasons.

1) It is the ANGRIEST song I ever wrote. I was extremely upset with American politics and culture at the time and it shows!
I was especially upset at the prospect that a Communist traitor like Hillary Clinton could be elected President.
Thankfully, we were spared that particular HELL. (We did, however, get Obama and Biden. UGH...)

If memory serves, I lost a few fans at Macjams.com because of this one... Que cera cera!

2) I experimented with recording the electric rhythm guitar and it didn't come off well.
I had placed a small tube amp and my microphone in a large tin box in the hope of producing a unique sound.
The result was too hard on the ears. (It seemed like a good idea at the time... Sigh!)

Heartfelt thanks to alanatomic who lent his mastering skills to this one. He was fairly successful in taming that electric
rhythm guitar. I have taken what Tom sent me and tweaked it just a tad more...

After COWARD SINN I was going to stop posting political songs. Recent events have convinced me to reconsider.

Be well all!

The photo is of a 19th century anvil. It was socio-economic doctrines first hammered out in the 19th century
that made the 20th century the BLOODIEST in human history.

Sadly, those doctrines are still popular among the deranged and depraved.

Lyrics
ANVIL

I
The mills of government grind our bones like grain;
while all along 'compassion' is their hollow refrain.

Refrain:
The wheel has turned full circle.
The die is cast. The curtain is drawn.
Will you be standing on the 'X,'
when karma's anvil falls?
---when karma's anvil falls...

II
We send our children off to make them 'wise;'
under tenured socio-paths who plot civilization's demise!

Refrain:
The wheel has turned full circle.
The die is cast. The curtain is drawn.
Will you be standing on the 'X,'
when karma's anvil falls?
---when karma's anvil falls...

III
You take refreshment under ignorance's blissful rain.
I haven't seen such blindness since Stalin starved the Ukraine!
Oh...

Refrain:
The wheel has turned full circle.
The die is cast. The curtain is drawn.
Will you be standing on the 'X,'
when karma's anvil falls?
---when karma's anvil falls...

IV
No one can see clearly with a polarized brain.
All talk of 'Left' and 'Right'
---just the babbling of the insane.
Your slogan filled mind nurses the hatred in your breast.
You're just another one of Death's sock puppets
here in the self-loathing West!

V
(This just in:)
"This morning the President authorized 
the opening of three new
re-orientation camps 
in the Nevada desert; 
each one capable of housing
up to 1,000 people.
The president expressed 
HER hope that these new facilities
would accelerate the education of the masses 
in the ways of 'justice' and 'equality'..."

Great song Mike.  Love the raunchy, distorted guitars with passionate singing to deliver a serious message.  This world is going down the path of self distruction.

This sure ain’t a love song. But sometimes you just need to vent. There’s some good venting here Mike.

Singing and the electric distorted guitar are super cool. Great production as well. Like Bowman said, sometimes you just gotta.vent which was done quite well here.
