Algorithm & Blues Music and Lyrics by Eric Winston Motihari Brigade Music ASCAP ©2022 There is no more beautiful thing Than the swan that’s unpredicted The improvised creation The standard deviation The fire out of control When the actor breaks the role Random human error Down the rabbit hole Algorithm & Blues Algorithm & Blues There’s no big idea like The improvised creation The rejected assumption The abandoned presumption Mis-informed and confused Optimized to amuse A story made of dreams A consciousness of memes Algorithm & Blues Algorithm & Blues Is this what we believe Or is this what we know Is this who we are Or is this what we show Sanctioning the voices Curating the choices Digging in the data mine Enforcing the party line A sponsored solution A color revolution Algorithm & Blues Algorithm & Blues We are our own oppressors We are are own confessors Promoted and approved Existing or removed A pattern recognition Ranked in position Tracked and observed A server that is served Algorithm & Blues Algorithm & Blues Following the thread Mistaken and mislead Anger and division Reward and revision Addictive duress Encouraged and suppressed Monitored expression Internalized repression Illusion of freewill Swallowing the pill Algorithm & Blues Algorithm & Blues Algorithm & Blues Algorithm & Blues Meanwhile I’m still thinking

Reality Show 04:23
Reality Show Music and Lyrics by Eric Winston Motihari Brigade Music ASCAP ©2022 Reality Show Is all that we know Reality Show Is all that we know This side and that side in a morality play The enemy is each other While reality slips away Chorus Now we feel anger Now we feel fear Plugged into the machine All we see and hear Chorus The ugly truth Or the story book Close your eyes Or take a look Careful what you ask and what you doubt Might get what you want You might fight out, that its a… Chorus Can’t see the fire Just shadows on the wall Watching you for when you slip Push you when you fall Chorus We are always the hero
In the story that is told But reality gets real And reality gets cold Chorus Reality Show Reality Show Reality Show Reality Show

The Party Is Over Music and Lyrics by Eric Winston Motihari Brigade Music ASCAP ©2022 The champagne glass is broken The wine spilled on the floor credit card is overcharged There’s a knocking at the door There’s a ticker tape parade is now paper on the street The pyramid has crumbled There’s cracks in the concrete Chorus: The party is over But the groove is just getting started The party is over But the groove is just getting started The future has ended And the past never occurred Nothing is for certain The lines have been blurred History is changing The emperor wears new clothes In the time between the kingdoms When the monsters are exposed Chorus The chaos is real But the crisis was manufactured Leaders lost control The mythology has fractured Demons have been summoned They can no longer be curtailed People going crazy Once their gods have failed Chorus The show must go on But the cast has lost the plot Open for suggestions But the messenger was shot Soldiers have come home Bill has come due House is burning down From the ashes rise something new Chorus The broken glass is half full It’s later than you think The vintage is now It’s time to take a drink The old ways are shattered But the news ones still ain’t done The party is over But the night has just begun Chorus The party is over The party is over The party is over The party is over

Rock-n-Roll Thoughtcrime Music and Lyrics by Eric Winston Motihari Brigade Music ASCAP ©2022 Dispute the contention Belief in suspension Find the connection Explore imperfection The long emergency Not your cup of tea Change definition Rethink the position Outside the tradition Beyond opposition Crossing the line Outside the design The idea is half the battle The thought doesn’t occur Danger averted Threat is deterred Chorus: Answer the question Question the answer Let your light shine These strange days you are A Rock-n-roll thoughtcrime Follow subscribe To what is decreed Click to agree To what is agreed Out in the cold A story untold Increase the tension Defy the convention Unable to mention Another dimension Across the great divide Swimming against the tide Read between the lines Attention to the signs A rock-n-roll crime Outside the paradigm Chorus Piece it together A flash in the feed A glitch in the pattern A flaw in the creed The oracle has spoken The zombies have woken The words that you read The box that you checked The thing that you said Is now incorrect Infallible pronouncement Virtual denouncement Mob emancipation Auto cancellation Update completed Opinion deleted Chorus Panic button virtual signal, shadow ban Click bait gaslight fundraising scam Anonymously sourced, smear campaign Social reinforced, group think shame Soft power narrative, blame control Derangement propaganda, fear push poll Slid in the slot The tribe that is wrong Thinking the thought That doesn’t belong The outrage machine No space in between The tacit resistance Socially distanced Where language is violence A riot of silence Under control Down the memory hole Ghosts from the past Toppled and harassed Tightening the screws Algorithm and blues Chorus Chorus

Identity Theft Music and Lyrics by Eric Winston Motihari Brigade Music ASCAP ©2022 We catch each other in the eye A momentary observation Gather up the information Rapid fire calculation Got your facial recognition Analyze your disposition Decode your combination Offer up your explanation We got your identity We got your identity We got your identity We got your identity Don’t need no ticket to be free Cause we both hold each other’s key Completed the investigation Filled out the evaluation Preceded by your reputation On the edge of cancellation Your profile and your avatar Your social media reportoire Nothing left to mystery Your gender race and pedigree We got your identity We got your identity We got your identity We got your identity Don’t need no ticket to be free Just you to be you and me to be me Assign you to your new position Summarize your definition Lst your virtues and transgressions Down to your essential essence We are always heroes in the stories that we tell With the best intentions on the road to hell Everybody gets to point the hand of blame Everybody gets their fifteen minutes of shame We got your identity We got your identity We got your identity We got your identity Don’t need no ticket to be free Just you to be you and me to be me

Street Fighting Man Jagger Richards ABKCO Records ©1968 Everywhere I hear the sound of marching charging feet boy Cause summers here and the time is right for fighting in the street boy But then what can a poor boy do Except to sing for a rock-n-roll band Cause in sleepy London town there’s just no place for a street fighting man Hey think the time is right for palace revolution Cause where I live the game to play is compromise solution Chorus Hey say my name is called disturbance I’ll shout and scream, I kill the king, I rail at all his servants Chorus

Be Free 04:18
Be Free Music and Lyrics by Eric Winston Motihari Brigade Music ASCAP ©2022 Well I’ve been thinking of you And I wonder what you’re doing at home I think I’d like to phone you up Just to tell that I’m alone, I’m alone I’d like to pop a bottle of wine And drink it down with you Tell you all the things that are on my mind Just to see what you would do, what you would do Well our life would be a breeze And we could make things through with ease If the day came when I could see The one that I love set free Set free It seems to me that we are all alone (It seems) In this world sometimes (We are alone) It’s filled with people who follow each other (It’s filled) And make up each other’s minds (With people whop follow) I know there are parts of you That you show to nobody else I also know some parts of you That you hide from yourself, from yourself Well they say knowing too much is a danger In the end it will drive you insane It can change things inside your head And cause you a very great pain, great pain I’d just like to see you be free The way we’re supposed to be Instead of locked up in a cage Still a prisoner at your age Ah but some days I feel as if powers beyond measure (Some days) Are telling me where to go (I feel they tell me) They send me strange places, introduce me to faces (They send me) That tell me things I didn’t really want to know (And they tell me) I just want to see you be free where you belong I just want to see you be free where you belong I wanna see you be free where you belong

Minefields and Downfalls Music and Lyrics by Eric Winston Motihari Brigade Music ASCAP ©2022 I’m counting on you to show me the way I know it’s something that’s hard for you to say You can’t really talk to me about your life But I want to see the world through your eyes You really can count on no one No one can give your their thoughts Still there is something that’s the same for all of us I’m trying to find it and see what it is you’ve got Chorus: Glad to see that you’ve made it Past the minefields and the downfalls of your youth Glad to see that you’ve made it I’m amazed at all that you’ve been through There’s nothing a teacher can teach you That you don't have to learn yourself You had to go and seek your own truth That can’t be given from one generation to its youth And if you follow your elders Spend your time hidden in their shelters You would never have found your own way You wouldn’t be who you are today Chorus Chorus

Disintegration Blues Music and Lyrics by Eric Winston Motihari Brigade Music ASCAP ©2022 You’re gonna lose yourself If you confuse yourself You’re gonna be someone else If you don’t choose yourself You got to resume yourself Or you’ll consume yourself You got to be yourself If you want to free yourself Chorus: Disintegration Blues Disintegration Blues I tried, to talk to you But I, can’t seem to get through to you Don’t want to be your lover I just want to see you get it together Chorus Chorus It ain’t easy To find yourself alone Choose your own path Work it out on your own I’m trying to find A way to relate Reach out to you Carry the heavy weight Chorus Chorus

Too Big To Fail Music and Lyrics by Eric Winston Motihari Brigade Music ASCAP ©2022 The cards are dealt the chips are down The joker laughs and wears a crown The dice are loaded and the wheel is spun Heads you lose and tails they won You passed go but didn’t get paid They moved ahead you got delayed they ran the bank You paid the rent You missed a turn They took a percent Chorus: Too big to fail Too high to fall Can’t do without Come bail me out Too big to fail Too high to fall Can’t do without Come bail me out Too big to fail Too high to fall Too big to fail Too high to fall Refinance consolidate Lower the payment With a favorable rate Promises made Signatures signed Pieces of paper with nothing behind Bundled together and sold in the dark double the bets Call in the sharks Blow up the bubble Let the good times roll spread out the margin Dig in the hole Chorus Too Big To Fail Too High To Fall Too Big To Fail Too High To Fall Make me an offer I can’t refuse Give me odds That I can’t lose Deal me a hand From the deck that’s stacked Grease my palm with a tight kickback Give me a gift That I don’t need Make me loan That’s guaranteed Shake my hand Look me in the eyes Ask no questions hear no lies They got the railroad you got the rail They got the card Said get out of jail Temple lenders Know the game ain't fair But all that is solid Melts into air Chorus Chorus Too Big To Fail Too High To Fall…

Revolution Rock Music and Lyrics by Eric Winston Motihari Brigade Music ASCAP ©2022 Chorus: Here we singing There we singing Revolutionary Rock Here we singing Revolutionary Rock Bailing out the the banks shared sacrifice Concentrate the wealth Spread out the price The lesser is evil now is more of the same No matter what the face No matter who the name Chorus The drone strike is real in the video game war Spending down the funds driving up the score Who are we fighting and what is it for Game over now Not playing any more Chorus The enemy is always just outside the gate Selling greed and fear Two minutes of hate The kingdom now is falling The hour is getting late Destruction is coming In order to create Chorus We’ll keep on singing And knocking at the door The sound of the tune It’s a song you’ve heard before Can’t stay forever hid behind the walls We’ll be singing revolution till Babylon falls Chorus Chorus

Morningstar 04:56
Morningstar Music and Lyrics by Eric Winston Motihari Brigade Music ASCAP ©2022 I can see you Morningstar I know who you are I can feel you in my dream You have never gone away Like a reflection on the sea I can sense your quiet light Resting your body next to me Heartbeats entraining through the night Morningstar Morningstar Like a rising falling prayer I can tell that your still there Silent bringer of the day You are with me everyday You were the only one for me I recognized you right away Like an old friend that I just met From another lifetime I forget Chorus Silent bringer of the day I can hear the words you say I see the smile in your eyes I see the child deep inside My guiding star through the years I am drawn to your light Twinkling like a fairy maid Shining goddess in the night Chorus Chorus

Rock-n-Roll Thoughtcrime for independent minds

Rock-n-Roll began in rebellion. Beautiful outcasts claimed their musical voice to freely express independent human resistance.

Meanwhile plastic corporate robots distracted and placated the masses. Artificial programming flooded our tele-screens with a hypnotic culture of fear and division.

You need not consume what you are fed. Escape zombie-dystopia.
