about

What was supposed to be the title track to this EP was replaced with this Nirvana inspired number. While it does lean away from the Doom approach, it explodes with an atmosphere of punk--a very much needed aesthetic to demonstrate the appreciation of high energy music.

The lyrics come from the observation of the older generation who keep their children sheltered from debauchery and deviation from social norms, even though these people did exactly as they warn back in their youth and probably partied even harder than we did. It calls out the hypocrisy and questions if these people have any idea on what is right or wrong.

You know... you're typical angst-driven teenaged rebellion.

lyrics

You don't know me
You don't own me
You can't control me
You can't tell me what you think's wrong from right

"Do as I say not as I do"
You forget the example's set by you
"Hypocrite" spelled across your lips

Overprotective
Overly sensitive
Over reactive
Overly ignorant of what's really wrong and right

Listening to labels by laws
You forget you once did it a lot
Media poisoning your mind

"Do as I say not as I do"
You forget the example's set by you
Hypocrite spelled across your lips

Overprotective
Overprotecting!
