Played an event last Monday called the Wrecking Ball perhaps named after the Neil Young song or maybe the name refers to breaking up complacency. The recorded version is slightly different.

they passed a law last week

scientists can’t speak

gag order

they want every tape recorder

they want to control the blues

restrict access to the news

shamelessly they grin

there will be no facts without spin

they’re tough on crime that’s right

they own a patent on that sound bite

their grand plan unveiled

build more jails

they want to control the blues

restrict access to the news

shamelessly they grin

there will be no facts without spin

they’re okay with foul play

every little G20 cop got paid

but what’s especially perverse

is that this all feels rehearsed

they want to control the blues

restrict access to the news

shamelessly they grin

there will be no facts without spin
