Going through some of my music collection tonight and played a song from a rare jem of an EP album from Craig's Brother and I wanted to share. For those of you like some melodic punk / rock (I love stuff that has vocal harmonies and layered guitars). From 2004 and still as relevant as back then. (Video should start at track 4 [9:46], lyrics below)

Artist: Craig's Brother

Song: E.P.Issdumbology

Give me headlines that grab

And shocking detail

Hide the facts in section E

Where no one will see

I can't tell which is news

And which is retail

It all looks the same to me

And it's said with urgency

So it must be true

And you must accept it from their point of view

You better hop on board, or miss the grand parade

And that's how consent is made

From the manifold masses

So long as the man gets paid

No one will question

Offering thrills in trade

And that's how money's made

Who can tell between fact

And rash assumption

When the word comes down the wire?

Those who propagate fear

Promote mass consumption

All the publishers desire

So the proof is not required

If you don't think it's true

Then there must be something screwed up with you

Because everyone else has joined the big charade

And that's how consent is made

From the millions of morons

So long as the bill gets paid

No one will question

Offering thrills in trade

And that's how money's made

We don't need an excuse anymore

We can bend half truths and fabricate a war

If the details don't pan out

We can smash all those who doubt

So it must be true

And you must bow down to the Red, White and Blue

You better hop on board and join the great crusade

And that's how consent is made

From the millions of morons

So long as the bill gets paid

No one will question

Offering thrills in trade

And that's how money's made [x3]

That's how money is made

It gets paid

It's a downward spiral

I don't want to pay the price
