lyrics

All the suffering of this world that we live in

This world is filled with greed
Too many starve, too many bleed
Where does this all lead and what does it mean?

Do you want to know
Or do you need a change from what we have right now?
I don’t know when and I don’t know how
But things need to be changed around

Through gritted teeth and clenched fists
(still dragging my feet as my patience wears thin)
With open eyes and open mind
(they seem so hard to find)
Why is it that we cant seem to find a way?

We're desperate - you can see it in our eyes
Wont hesitate - always apathetic towards the stream of hateful lies
Its a matter of time before the tables turn
And we'll take our place just in time to watch you burn

A child lies on the street
The helping hand too far to reach
So many lessons we could teach on the subject of humanity

But no one wants to know
Don’t want to see a change, see the system rearranged
Ignorant, they’ll turn away
From whats staring them right in their face

Stand on the rooftops and shout
(before the right to speak is taken from the meek)
Open those eyes open those minds
(its not so hard you’ll find)
Side by side, we will find our own way

Flying Raccoon Suit Makes a Friend
by Flying Raccoon Suit

supported by 4 fans who also own “Crash & Burn”

A perfect blend of ska & skater punk, this album has a hard edge to its sound, while still using uplifting undertones as a foundation. There are a few tracks such as "Flip the Switch", which explores a darker sound, or "Scavenger", which has a bit of a jazzy undertone, both breaking things up and making for a nice contrast from the other tracks. "Robot" and "Empathy" both have a more mellow and relaxing sound to them, and the latter makes for a perfect close to the album. Worth a listen. :) VigorousJammer
