about

Life sometimes makes one feel like a small cog in a big machine. It is frustrating and overwhelming.

lyrics

I’ve had it with the sameness
The copy & pasted lameness
They must think we’re all brainless
Living in total plainness

Since when did the American Dream
Get to be one giant machine
It’s turning quite obscene
Like robots in sweaters and jeans
Companies tell us what to buy
The when and the where and the why
We’re pawns in a business game
Where everybody is the same

Had it with the sameness
Chicken fried apple pied lameness
National advertized gameness
Take these pills and you’re painless
Got you numb to the shameless
TV ad whole grainness
Puppies and kittens for the tameness
Get your 15 minutes of fame-ness

Form north to the south to the west
We all agree what’s best
Because we all think alike nowadays
Thanks to centralized thinking and ways
We only need one master plan
Devised by the corporate man
It’s better for the bottom line
If we all just get in line and get down with the sameness


Solo







So come on now my good friends
Stop chasing the same dead ends
Think for yourself for a change
Paint your car in crazy flames
Grow your hair change what you wear
Just laugh when people stare
Turn off the tube for a while
You might find it makes you smile (to be free of the)

Sameness
The copy & pasted lameness
They must think we’re all brainless
Living in total plainness
Had it with the sameness
Chicken fried apple pied lameness
National advertized gameness
Take these pills and you’re painless

Chicken fried apple pied eggs you fried momma said
Go to bed hold your head did you catch what I said
Clip your toes blow your nose hold the hose strike a pose

about

Lou Leaves the Room Atlanta, Georgia

I love music. I love listening to music and I love creating music. Some musicians are purists, but I am definitely a tweaker. I try to play music I would want to hear.
