Defective Children- Traitors

Bradley Manning- Traitor

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.

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.

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- Maybe There's a Reason

Time is wasted with energy 

and no one can stop them from passing

I've had this feeling for a while,

and for me it's the only thing that is 

Everlasting

Maybe There's a Reason

Maybe not, it's just a thought

Maybe There's a Reason.....

Defective Children- Thundercloud

Defective Children- Just Because

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- "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

Defective Children- Live Set I "Double Talk," "Sick In The Head," "I Cracked My Skull," and "Pillar Of Salt" 07/16/11

Videos recorded at Buckwheat's house in Rancho Cucamonga. 

The stories behind the songs.....

"Double Talk" is a song I wrote about this asshole I worked with on a construction site in Palm Springs. He was on some macho trip and annoyed the fuck out of me, but at least I got a great song from the experience. 

"Sick In The Head" is about relationships that never worked out, and how people's past failures can drive them to insanity if emotions are left unresolved.

"I Cracked My Skull" is about another guy I worked with in construction. He was a macho dick as well, and probably got more stupid after he crashed his motorcycle and cracked his skull.However most of this this song is more about me.

"Pillar Of Salt" was the first song I recorded after I moved to "The Farm" in Fontana back in 2005. My wife had just left me and all of my friends were fucked up on drugs. I was left by myself in a house of alcoholics who I tried my best to avoid. The moral of this song is that looking back on things you loved and lost get you  nowhere. It is better to just move forward and laugh at all the reasons  that make you cry.  

-Dusty Dirt 

Defective Children- "Double Talk"

Lyrics:

Sarcastic smart ass remarks pour out of your loud mouth like diarrhea, 

no one wants to hear your annoying comments or jokes. 

That are blatantly and obviously thought up to instigate 

more drama making those around you feel like communicating is a waste of breath.

Don't beat around the bush 

get to the point I've had enough with the Double Talk.                                                                                 

Leave me the fuck alone. 

Shut your trap and stop the stupid  rhetorical Double Talk.

A word to the wise keep your opinions and 

advice where they belong give it a rest and 

lay off from the arguments and speeches for a change.              

If you keep acting this way sooner or later there  

will be a day of reckoning then you'll be sorry and 

after that think twice about being a dick.

Don't beat around the bush 

get to the point I've had enough with the Double Talk.                                                                                  

Leave me the fuck alone. 

Shut your trap and stop the stupid rhetorical Double Talk.

Defective Children- "Sick In The Head"

Lyrics:

Remember the failures of past memories

Hearts and initials, carved in a tree

Names and dates engraved in concrete

All the dirt roads that came to be streets

Pages of scribbles, in spiral notebooks

Polaroid pictures and chances we took

Dehydrated roses, rusted antiques

Chaotic collages, lets play hide and seek

Pages of scribbles, in spiral notebooks

Polaroid pictures and chances we took

Dehydrated roses, rusted antiques

Chaotic collages, lets play hide and seek

Torn apart, ripped to shreds, scatter-brained

Sick In The Head

Emaciated, underfed, ruptured veins

Sick In The Head

Scraps of newspapers, cut out and pasted

Procrastinated propaganda, thrown out and wasted

Random words, forgotten on the floor

Uncharted horizons, boarded-up doors

Pages of scribbles, in spiral notebooks

Polaroid pictures and chances we took

Dehydrated roses, rusted antiques

Chaotic collages, lets play hide and seek

Pages of scribbles, in spiral notebooks

Polaroid pictures and chances we took

Dehydrated roses, rusted antiques

Chaotic collages, lets play hide and seek

Torn apart, ripped to shreds, scatter-brained

Sick In The Head

Emaciated, underfed, ruptured veins

Sick In The Head

Defective Children- I Cracked My Skull

Lyrics:

Always had a few loose screws
the rest are bent and stripped
flew way over the cookoo's nest
snapped and flipped my lid
Like an elephant in a china shop
I'm a slow and clumsy ox
There's really nothing inside my brain
just empty holes and rocks
Fell off my skate board
hit the ground so hard
broke a few bones and
I cracked my skull
Crashed my motorcycle
soared through the air
smashed on the asphalt
I cracked my skull
Neutered, sterile and declawed
I'm a mangy ally cat
who creeps and craws around his
town eating from garbage cans
Deformed and lacerated
dirty, with lice infested hair
the people wretch at the sight of me
but I don't really care
Second handed, dented
like discounted damaged goods
I'm never seen in perfect health
and easily misunderstood
Fell off my skate board
hit the ground so hard
broke a few bones and
I cracked my skull
Crashed my motorcycle
soared through the air
smashed on the asphalt
I cracked my skull

Defective Children- Pillar Of Salt

Lyrics:

That which was dead, is now alive
infertile soil will profit and thrive
Changed the fate of those destined to die
laugh at all the reasons that made us cry
But to look back with regrets and dwell
in remorse like infected sores emotions will swell
Injected with medicine to help the wounds heal
jaded and confused untill theres nothing left to feel
The altimatum, forced to choose
either join cheat win or loose
be defeated forfit, decided by default
or fade from existence and decay like a Pillar of Salt

This is a collection of songs I recorded between 2005 and 2007.
They're not the best quality recordings cuz I was teaching myself
but I think it sounds okay for what it is.

A few songs I'm not very found of, the way they turned out. I kinda
over did it on them with back up vocals. Most of them turned out good.
