about

“...In this election cycle, we’ve seen a bubble of destructive ideas… Invariably, though, bubbles do burst - often at the point at which things seem to reach a new plateau of insanity. I have a surprising amount of hope that we are at that kind of stage right now, with a bubble in destructive ideas, cynically circulated, bursting - and that we have stayed solvent enough that we have the social capital to rebuild.” (The Week, Mark Gimein letter from the editor, 2020)

Context - a lifetime of father-son disconnect and disagreement.

Lyrics - following the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville (2017).

Music - inspired by racial justice protests in the face of “law and order” backlash (2020).

lyrics

the bubble pops
inertia runs out
the spinning top stops
ex post facto
the status quo flops
tied up in knots
the other shoe drops

you blew yourself a bubble
built yourself a wall
made yourself a nest
a world that’s very small
you live in a box
a house made of glass
your groundhog day
every Sunday mass

plugs in your ears
your head in the sand
your eyes closed tight
no feeling in your hands
your mind has closed
your feet no longer walk
forgot how to listen
just hear yourself talk

every journey
a three day tour
a boat on a pond
live to be bored
your tv has one channel
you only have one book
there’s a world out there
if you’d only take a look

your time stands still
the world no longer turns
you’re living in the past
the past you didn’t learn
when everything was fine
the good old days
for people of your class
for people of your race
