SocietyFringePodcast's podcast

Through this podcast SFP is creating an extended universe through the use of guitar based pop songs. The tale is both episodic and serial. As of the COVID lock down the SFPeeniverse consisted of 7 Broadway style musicals. This is ambitious stuff. The conceit is that an '84 Chevy El Camino acts as a TARDIS catalyst connecting the characters to unlimited story telling opportunities.

FUCKIN' JOB

I hate my fucking job I hate my fucking job

Fight or die

First day of basic had us drinking human blood

We're the only resource left ain't nothing up here, cuz

They killed five the first day 'cause they would not fall in line

I say "yes sir no sir" but I'm just biding my time

chorus

The sergeant tried to rape me so I slit his fucking throat

Colonel said "Well goddamn, son, you're the kind of kid I can promote."

Got my new stripes branded on the fingers of my fist

Last thing that you'll see coming 'cause I never fucking miss

chorus

There ain't no mirrors here they don't want us to see

There ain't no living here they don't want us to be

Last night I dreamt that I was falling from the sky

When I woke up I did not know that I could still cry and cry and cry

chorus

BABY BLUE GUN

I'm gonna join the army 'cause they're making me

They took the best of rioters with them was me

They fight their endless wars it don't mean shit to me

I'm gonna join the army 'cause they're making me making me

They punched me in the face and threw me in a truck

We'[re packed in here like cigarettes, man, what the fuck

They tell us that the plan is just for us to die

They'll feed us to the factory and make their weapons with our flesh and pride

And everything inside

They asked me for my name I said "I'm Baby Blue

I'm everything you hate and fear and cannot do."

They kicked my ass again and said it's just for fun

A tattoo on my shoulder says "I'm number one Baby Blue Gun"

RIOT!

I seen the sunshine only in my dreams 'cause it's never bright

I spent a lifetime feeling my way through the darkest night

I rode the airways I supped on lightening and drank the sky

I been transcended back away, lord, by and by

Riot!

Riot now it's our last chance

Seduce me with your sinful dance

Breath my soul and set me free

Everything will burn wait and see

Where are the women?

Where are the mommas, wives, and sisters?

Where is my shotgun?

Got it at the pawn shop and sawed it off, mister

How is this platform?

Hand to hand combat in the goddamned streets

The cops are in on it

They need money to survive just like you and me

Riot!

Everything will burn as you will see

Burn it down!

MELTDOWN SHUFFLE

When the world started turning and it set to up and burning

All the freedom of a megalopolis

The United States was bleeding and the populace was pleading

For a living breathing old sarcophagus

Well she took to warring constantly for fossil fuels and Jesus

And the lies of often civilated songs

Turned the Middle East to glass and turned her back on her repast

And said the Bill Of Rights is motherfucking wrong, bitch

God bless America god bless America

Land of the free and the home of the letdown

In the meantime out in Asia got a market euthanasia

Got it humming drumming economically

Tried collecting all her debts the US wouldn't take the bet

And said "fuck off" all rather pedantically

For the world that was War Four 'cause III was knocking at the door

And the history sputtered sporadically

In the chaos that ensued after wars for god and crude

The second coming happened despotically

God bless the marketplace god bless the marketplace

Buy that shit low and then sell off the countdown

So it came to be the truth that Chinggis Khan would be the proof

That if you want shit done you never wait around

He was rising in the ast the battle lines were drawn at least

The history books would someday write all this shit down

So Julius Caesar rose to fight him made an army just to spite him

And a war machine that ran on human bones

They were clashing every day in every place in every way

With the plastics made from tissues of the clones yeah

God bless the emperors god bless the emperors

Though self ordained still they're willing to get down

While the generations died the war was living with a tide

Of surplus cannon fodder plucked off of the streets

All the fossil fuels are zapped the land is ocean, deserts, crap

Yes and the drums of war are shuffle/set/repeat

If you're looking for a wasteland well you got it have a taste man

What's it taste like fuck you cannot be the judge

It's the west against the east it's set, man "shuffle/war/repeat"

That's how it will be, is, and always fucking was 

God bless the atheists, deists, and theists

In the land of debris at the edge of the meltdown
