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.

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

Brian: bass and mixing

Sharon: drums

HIGHWAY HOME (CANON IN C MAJOR)

Pachelbel

Populated isolation love starvation indignation

Stirring to indecision

Life is death is right is wrong

Is precious now but not for long

Changing through the transition

If love is hate I can't relate

Take and give and give and take

No suicide here concentrate

Straining for a salvation

Nowhere's home I been forsaken

Nowhere's hope so desperation

Life breath to a redemption

Highway home to my maker

I'd love to love the human race

In an ugly world devoid of grace

Humanity if just a trace

Enough already repeal replace

Sleep where I fall

Dreams don't come at all to the wicked

Drop the clip I'm full of spite

I rest upon this putrid sight

Standing up for the first time

For revenge or for elation

For a love or stimulation

Let that sucker go for the last time

Highway home to my maker

F&PR

Fear and paranoia I adore ya

I'd never even try to try and bore ya

Keep me entertained I must implore ya

Fear and paranoia I abhor ya

Fuck me fuck you too I'm shouting orders

Senseless rage can't decipher the borders

Fucking fucks all fucked up and conjected

Is it extinct, dying or protected?

Stripped of falsehood bravery and lies

Just enough left over to be despised

Like a hurricane without a lie

Fear and paranoia rule

FEED ME SOME SANE

All in my mind everyone's blind

Silence is golden in an everyday bind

All in my head glad I'm not dead

Bitterness bubbles up the words that she said

Morals and time physical crime

Where is it I can't see it where is the line?

All in my brain feed me some sane

I'll lick it up and then I'll shoot my own pain

Feed me some sane inject my brain

The golden nectar of a world without pain

Feed me some sane misery reigns

A blackness sucks my ankles laughing and slain

I'm at Edge City and I'm starting to crawl yeah

The ashen necklace of a painted face weeps

Subconsciously I want to drown in the streets

Depression's going to take the edge off of me

I'm peaking now but wait 'til quarter to three

     I'm all fucked up and I don't care

     Fatal nihilistic glares

     I want to scream but I don't dare

     Come on, Edge City, take me there yeah

I want to masticate a marginal wound

Explosion sun up a material moon

Suicide vibes from everyone in the room

I'm the only fucking guy in the room

     I fucked the wellspring of a ghost

     I spurned the Emperor's pledge to toast

     I'm flying off the glistening coast

     The sand is glass while billions roast

The melting mirrors tend to complicate us yeah

CRANK IT UP YOU FUCKING WHORES

Gone for good is what I'm getting

Death to me's a new direction

But I want to make myself just suffer

'Cause shit is all there is

Wishing crazy to me through the slumber

Slouching closely to restricted thunder

Crashed through motionless it becomes laughter

So crank it up you fucking whores

Let's talk about it

The seascape melts into a laughing flower

Slathered by gynecologic power

Flowing gushing forth like arms of plunder

And tripping balls just like the savior

Crank it up you fucking whores

HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT

Life is useless so is love

Blood is nothing done is done

Take me backwards over there

Once a lifetime never fair NO

Will it ever end Iwish it could

Where's they sting like it should

Life done broke me all fucked up

Nothing's happening nothing's up

Didn't ask to be here so

Let's drop the curtain it's time to go see it said

See where you're at

How do you like that

If I were Shakespeare I'd write a song

Of romantic longings and soliloquies sung

Death and carnage would not despair

The choices made would cloud the air

But I ain't Shakespeare I ain't a man

I've taken it all I've bitten the hand

I've stared at the abstract claiming it's truth

I punctured the priest in the confessional booth

Didn't care more yesterday How can it seem to be that way when you're dead

So where you at How do you like that

APOCALYPSE TOMORROW

Exploding erupting orgasmic and more

See through the ceiling and punch through the floor

Huff like a big bad wolf and kick down that door

Blue like horizons on the oceanless shores

Come on

Blue is the color inevitably

The blues is the core and the Earth is the sea

Unkind unkempt ungainly

Blue is the color the masses see

Blue like the glass hewn desert

Blue like the drugs of comfort

Blue like the song of the used and oppressed

Blue like the mood of the sad and depressed

Apocalypse Tomorrow

Do you have an armageddon I can borrow

The waters rise and suffocate

The air hangs burning concentrate

Do you have an armageddon I can borrow

Apocalypse tomorrow

Come On!
