about

Recording this happened alooong time ago. Waaaaay back in 2011 at Mind Control Studios in Yucaipa, CA. Andy Burris took controls and kicked ass.

On this recording and, at the time, GPB was a 4 piece. We are now a 3 piece. Harmonies and "killer guitar licks" were provided by Jerry.

lyrics

After counting all the chips that you have lost
do you still want all those people cheating?
Giving up on those who are fraught
with all impending doom-like self-defeatings

They'd say:
Get a little high, boy
Get a little wise, boy

And then when once you think you've overcome
The biting stops with consideration

Smiling on the outside hides it all.
Considering all the disappointments
you've made improvements on a dime
Now a smattering of all those things you've picked up

They'd say:
Get a little high, boy
Get a little wise, boy

Moving faster than a guillotine
Shaping up keeps the vains in context

We gotta take in all this gray. Filter out the steady stray.
Punching beats out on the wall, smashing notes out on the way.
Alarming the static.
