The strange vocal sound that opens the song and continues throughout the non lyric parts was created when I was playing around with a sampling effects pedal that my friend Peter had brought over. I loved the fact that it had a trigger input to retrigger the sample via drum machine.
lyrics
And they're killing the future
and I know we've seen better days
and I hear all their laughing
disregarding their past
with closing in snapshots
and minds full of new ideas
with nothing to help us and nothing to feel
and my everyday feelings that stand in your way
keep pushing keep fighting
with nothing to say
