Simply Comply - original song

Posting one of my pre-YouTube compositions. Here goes nothing...

Many thanks to some excellent musicians here who inspired me to post this, and from whom I shamelessly stole some of the video concepts.

Lyrics:
Take what's on offer
Empty your coffers
It's only healthy
Buy a new sweater
Spend to feel better
Make someone wealthy

Simply comply
Keep your tongue in the groove
Don't even try it
We're watching your every move
Let us help you improve your odds
By the way, renounce those false gods

Take a vacation but
Stay in this nation
We need your spending
(come on and spend some more)
No visiting or indulging the foreigners
we're offending
(who needs them anymore?)

Simply comply
And your loved ones will live
Don't let them die
You will never forgive yourself
Let us help you escape that fate
Have some sense, before it's too late

Have you ever told a friend you didn't need him
Replacing whispered words of love with epithets
Soon enough you'll feel the same about your freedoms
(who needs 'em)
So don't you mourn a passing that you will soon forget

Silence your crying
Soon you'll be buying
Your picket fences
No time for ardor
Work ever harder
Drop your defenses

Simply comply
And you'll be the elite
When liberty dies
Its marrow will taste so sweet
So come let us greet that day
Kneel with me, and let us prey
This is our day

I love your style! What do you use to record all of the electronic sounds? It's great stuff.

[musosf]

Thanks Nick! I mostly use Propellerheads Reason, with a bit of Garageband or Logic Express thrown in.

I know I've watched this video before, now I am just curious why I haven't commented and said what a damn good song this is - with an equally good message! Good job!

[musosf]

Thanks Marie! I do that sometimes too - go back to a video and wonder why I didn't comment the first time.

[joelovesyou]

classic feel to this jammer,, great sound musosf!!

[musosf]

Thanks Joe!

This song is very catchy, it runs on in the middle and I thought what an easy thing to fix in a song that is otherwise without blemish . It's what I truly thought. 5 stars

[musosf]

:) Wow those are two artists I don't mind being compared to.  Coming from an accomplished sound-sculptor like yourself that's high praise indeed. Thanks ons!

[musosf]

Hey thanks monkeee. Yeah, there's definitely a poppy McCartney thing (minus about 80% of his talent) that shows up in my songs.

[ournationalspace]

It sound like a mix of Brian Eno and the Pet Shop Boys - - no, I have it! It sounds exactly like musosf! Delightful! 5/5 stars!
