lyrics

There are those among us who are always on the watch
whether they want to be or not.
Listen for the croaking of frog, but he's hopped away on his third leg. Explaining what his allergies meant, intolerant of environment:
"I'm canary for you all."
Sentinel species, wide awake and dying, calling out deliberately;
someone chose us, don't you see, take some responsibility.
Moving pot in bails finally landed Charles in jail,
but he'd freed himself before.
With Julia Butterfly sitting on Luna,
the truth comes into view; you cannot own the world.
Food not Bombs has come to consensus:
free community, no fences; do not lock up the food.
With just a minute to midnight,
I see within my sight the hundredth sentinel...

about

Chemystry Set San Francisco, California

Musicianship tight as an atom, music wild and roaming as the imagination of the unknown. It’s like everything and nothing I’ve ever heard, a screaming reminder that rock is rebellion and must be reinvented each time it’s played, or else it’s just pop.
