lyrics
There’s nothing you can do that can’t be photographed
Then analyzed to a void before anyone has laughed
But you might forget before reason stops your head
If you’re too busy listening to what America said
And the flies would attend choir with the birds
But the invitations had some misspelled words
Now the blue jays hunt the hiding flies
Over the window sill
Where old women chill
Their homemade pies
There’s nothing you can say that can’t be monitored
Then filtered through devices that muffle every word
Even the ones you say unknowingly while you’re in bed
Awake and dreaming about what America said
America said that if you be a good boy
You can be anything that we want you to be
But it was half misquoted, and it was mostly a ploy
From the ones with the dream they don’t want you to see
There’s no way you can act that isn’t paranoid
On your deathbed wondering which part you most enjoyed
Thinking about what you should have changed instead
Of letting voices drown out what America said

NSPS is…
John “High-Road” Howa
Jeremy Mathews
Sarah “Spark-Plug” Morton Taggart
Steve “Not-So-Naïve” Taggart
Withered Hand is quieter and more straight-forward than NSPS, but shares a certain outlook. Dan Willson is one of the best songwriters around—he can make you smile and tear up in the same rhyme. NSPS
In addition to making me feel better by taking (almost?) as long as NSPS to finish a new album, swo17 washes over you with rich sonic textures. Become one with the music. NSPS
