about

A little protest song.

Recorded at 452hz, an 'earthy' frequency.

lyrics

Long summer days of my youth
Spent outside in the dirt
Building castles out of boxes
Made up might to exert
And I never thought a thing about it

And the games I played then
Seemed so real inside my head
Fighting for our rights and I
Never thought about all the conflicts and the strife
Present in our daily lives

Playing in the sun with all my toy soldiers (toy soldiers)
I don’t really care if they all melt
Blowing up my plastic little toy soldiers (toy soldiers)
I don’t wanna share with anybody else

They’re all just playthings anyway

Melting plastic led to burning
All the grass around the lawn
Spread to cars and trees and buildings
Killed the world I built it on
And I never stopped to think about it

And the games that I played then
Became so real inside my head
Fighting for our very lives
I never realized the struggle to survive
Present in our daily lives

CHORUS
