Defective Children- Traitors

Rally in support of Bradley Manning on August 8, 2010, in Quantico, Virginia. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

This isn't a protest song and I am not Bradley Manning. Weather or not it makes you a true patriot I don't know, but I never joined the military, and I also never felt like I was somehow superior with my ideas for opposing the military industrial complex. My opinions and thoughts are usually focused more on abstract paradigms and silently observing events in nature.

English: Slogan for the support of the persecuted American ex-soldier who is claimed to have leaked secret documents to WikiLeaks Deutsch: Slogan für die Unterstützung und Freilassung von Bradley Manning, der beschuldigt wird, geheime Dokumente an WikiLeaks weitergegeben zu haben (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Political debates are annoying to me, and more often than not it seems like people have a really hard time finding common ground on any important issue. I prefer to avoid familiar territory with lyrics and cliche subjects for song writing, but lately the air has become so thick with bullshit, and it's difficult to hold back.

I don't know if this song or anything I ever wrote will ever make a difference, anywhere for anyone. I just hope that maybe I can help spread the word a little. People should know that Bradly Manning and many others are being unjustly charged and imprisoned for leaking info about war-crimes and violations of the 4th amendment (Right to Privacy) and other autonomous rights Americans are supposed to have, but never really did.

Defective Children- Traitors

Cameras on every corner

Drones spying from the sky

Almost everything is tracked online

People get hung out to dry

If they’re sworn to secrecy and

Leak the truth even if it ends up saving lives

All ye Traitors will learn to obey and abide by

The New World law and order, there’s no mercy for your kind

Or sympathy for anyone, who doesn’t kill for our side

All ye Traitors to the system must die.

Nothing’s new, we always

Knew security works at it’s best

When it is pirating your right to privacy

Protecting freedom for the

Masses means a few Good men

Take the fall for truth and transparency

All ye Traitors will be tortured,

Indicted for treason like Bradley Manning

Yes, we can violate, and take away your rights

Ultimately our goal is total control over your body and mind

All ye Rebel Traitors will surrender or die.

We don’t give a shit

About the establishment

Never cease the fight to resist

The US Government

Will be exposed for what it is

By military and civilian dissidents

I am a Traitor if it means

You want me to hide war crimes and

Injustice against anyone who selflessly risks their life

And gives up everything to spill the beans and drop a dime

All ye Traitors of Humanity must die.

The Dusty Dirt Punk Radio Podcast Ep.1 Fuck Work!

So here we go! I Finished the first Dusty Dirt Punk Radio Podcast last night, it could have been uploaded a few days ago, but I was hoping to get one more song from a band I wont mention 'cuz I don't want to embarrass them (the Cheated). I plan on doing another "Work" related Podcast in the near future so hopefully by then I'll have their song "Work," it's a great song to say the least.

Anyway enough ripping on the Cheated for now, in fact if it wasn't for bands like the Cheated I might not know what work really means. See, not too long ago, I thought "work" meant busting your ass doing something you don't like, so you can buy shit you kind of like, with money. The work you're doing, time and labor you put in go to make profit for someone else, and a the money you earn goes right back into the pockets of someone else, who is already making a profit, so it stays there, but you're pockets always seem to be empty...... (more after the track list)

END BUMPER Mash-Up-- They Stole Our Jobs! 9-5 Dolly Parton

After years of playing in bands and struggling to remain independent from corporate America, I started to realize that the "work" we do at our daily grind, is in fact not real work at all. On the other end of the spectrum, right brained, creative activities are not considered a persons life-work by many people, but are mostly defined as hobbies and thing you do when you are done with "work" for the day.This narrow attitude about work and jobs in American society marginalizes many of those who's greatest talents are creative-right-brained musical and artistic abilities.

To be completely candid, the main reason I titled my first podcast "Fuck Work!" is because I'm sick and tired of hearing people brag about how great their jobs are, or how much they hate their jobs. If you work and have a great job/career with the golden handcuffs, retirement, stocks, and all that jazz, well good for you, but I got some news for you: No one really gives a half a shit, and in my opinion you're awesome full-time job is worthless if you do nothing outside of that to help people that are less fortunate. If you don't like your job, then you must understand that you can remove yourself from any situation you do not feel comfortable in. Maybe you should think about if the job is worth the stress it causes and time you are forced to spend away from family, children, and friends, while instead spending most of the day with asshole bosses, customers and co-workers.

I have much much more to say about the topic of work and jobs but I'll just freeze it there for now. One more thing though, I know that many people take pride in their work and like the people they work with, and their boss. There are some decent employers out there, I think that the most important point I want to highlight is that when you work, you shouldn't feel like a slave or like there is no hope for a better alternative to your current occupation. I think that the world would be a much happier place if people could find real intrinsic value in the work they do for that steady pay-check. A lot of people just work for material gain, and find extrinsic value in their work. It seems that many of those types of people don't really care how hard or fucked up the job is, they just do it because they have this overwhelming drive to survive. To them, extrinsic rewards are worth putting up with the stresses of day-to-day workplace issues and drama.

In the upcoming Dusty Dirt Punk Radio Podcasts, I want to try to talk more about the theme, or topic or the show. I am just getting used to recording voice only and talking into a microphone rather than singing, I have plans to do some interviews, discussions, and a bit of sketch comedy which I would like to work on writing with other people. I have to of course, give a big thanks to all the friend and fans who supported this podcast from it's conception. I'm attempting to do two podcasts a week right now, this week I will be putting together Episode 2 "Fuck You!" and Episode 3 with the working title "Violent Night"- an all-request Christmas edition of the podcast, it will be my gift to all of you!! Anything you want me to play, I will play it! Even if I think it sucks Rhinoceros Nuts!!!! --Dusty Dirt

Punk Pod-Casts: Teenage Bonehead Eps. 8 and 9

Been finding some really good Punk pod-casts out there lately. Teenage Bonehead out of LA quickly became one of my favorites. A couple weeks ago, TB put one of my band's songs (Defective Children) on the podcast ep. 8 with many other sick bands, so I thought I could help out by posting links stuff about TB on my blog and spread the word. There are also a few other Punk pod-casts I've been following lately which I'll be posting about in the next few days.

Defective Children- Learning To Grow (2012)

We finished recording this album about 2 months ago. I have been busy but also I wanted to be sure it's everything it should be. I think it's finished, hopefully we will have something on some form on physical media by next year, but for now it is complete and available for free through various online sources.....

If you do punk pod casts, radio shows, can help with a record release or distribution, please contact me and feel free to download our stuff either way.
-Dusty Dirt

On Soundcloud.......

Downloads from Soundcloud are free, if you want to support the band and buy the album, you can do that at bandcamp.com.

We began recording songs for this album in January 2012, and finished in August. I hope that everyone who listens to this album will enjoy it and understands everything we're trying to say.Life is a series of moments, one to the next. In each moment you have many chances to learn many things.... and grow.

Jeff Ott- You Are

A wise man said,

Today is a good day to die

A wise man said,

To call a life that's run on fear a life at all.... is a lie

All the men say, everything is impossible

So you better shut up boy, get back in line

I saw a flier on a pole, and it said..... Everything is a Lie

We've had 5,000 years of Matriarchal linage

We've had 5,000 years of patriarchy too........

Welcome to the end of the beginning,

Welcome to the beginning of the end.

Welcome to 5,000 years of rule by children......

No churches anymore

No more my "god's the only god war"

No churches anymore

No more selling tickets to the door of heaven

No churches anymore, no more hard sell,

With the threat of hell and never ending torture

No churches anymore, cuz the only sin, the only sin,

The only sin is division........ Division

I don't need Jesus Christ,

Don't need Muhammad to find God 'cuz God is all around me

I don't need no book, don't need no master, 'cuz God is everything

We have tended to perceive deity in terms of having control

We will now learn to be a shining...................Sliver of a hope

We have an awesome responsibility

The understand that we are deity, cuz we are

So please don't misunderstand me

When I say....... You Are God, cuz You Are God

It doesn't mean that you run the show,

It only means that you are part of the whole

If we take responsibility

We will awaken to our divinity

You Are God.....You Are not in control........You Are part of the whole

Dusty Dirt- "Baby, You're a Rich Man" by The Beatles

Dusty Dirt- Thunder Cloud

Danger fills the sky

Darkness blocks out the sunlight

Thunderbird has arrived

Shooting lightening from his eyes

With his wings he brings the Thunder Clouds

Rain and hail fall to the ground

Drowning evil beings, giving life to living things

And my spirit is a Thunder Cloud

Rolling over all the tall and proud

Afraid, they run and hide or stay inside when I'm around

And do not think that I will find where they reside and break them down

Dusty Dirt- Bullet (Misfits Cover)

Dusty Dirt- "Self Help"

Losing the will to get out of bed when I always wake up on the wrong side

But this could be the day they'll find a miracle cure that can break through

And fix my dysfunctional mind

Salvage what's left after neglect and abuse

From treatment centers and recovery groups

That trivialize the pain pretending to care

And know all the answers as if it's perfectly clear

Analyzing, pulling out my thoughts like rusty nails, to diagnose and profile me

There's a vast variety of recommended methods and shelves filled with books

About self help, but a bullet in the head is all I need

Nobody understands don't say that you do

And try to pick me apart like a dead specemin

I'm not an object to show case label or dissect

And God Didn't put me here to punish my sins

Maybe a new designer drug or a frontal lobotomy

Can give me some peace It could be a 1000 more hours

Of high priced therapy to back track the source of my mental disease

Defective Children- "Off The Grid"

The lights are out but everyone's home

It kinda sucks but it beats being alone

In the dark, in the dark, in the dark.

Some one forgot to pay the bill but

That's okay we can still sing and play

Our guitars, our guitars, sing and play

Our guitars, our guitars.

The power's out we're living Off The Grid

Southern California Edison doesn't care if you have kids

Go get the batteries and candles we're Off The Grid

Let's steal some turbines and solar panels

Harvest the sun and wind

We aint got no electricity but that's okay cuz you me

got everything we need in our hearts, in our hearts

Life without modern technology

The only light that that we can see is the moon and the stars,

The moon and the stars, the moon and the stars

The power's out we're living Off The Grid

Southern California Edison doesn't care if you have kids

Go get the batteries and candles we're Off The Grid

Let's steal some turbines and solar panels

Harvest the sun and wind
