Billy said in a recent Spirits in the Sky show (and elsewhere), that all the new material plays by Spirits in the Sky (excluding the covers), are new Pumpkin songs for the forthcoming album "Teargarden by Kaleidyscope!"

Pretty exciting!

Smashing Pumpkin's first ever political song!

[dubified89]

Wow this version is way better. Corgan should play with these guys more.

[CrackCatNip]

this sounds better than the studio version in my opinion

[muaythai4lifelife]

Great song! I just strummed on my guitar.

The album version.

The riff guitar must be in C or C#.

Easternmind, you're my favorite hippy on the o-board. I just realized I've watched this video like 20+ times since it's been out and didn't realize you made it. ;) Great work. (SaturnsHalo)

This song is something I would expect from Gullah Gullah Island, not Smashing Pumpkins. It isn't horrible, but it definitely doesn't deserve the kind of praise it's been getting from people.
