A song about Gun Violence in America
NOSTALGIC METAL REBORN As formed in the very late '80s as NoClue and after about 7 years, went our separate ways. We Reformed into NewClue in 2014
"Blast From The Past" NoClue was an Original Hard Rock Band that formed in the early 1990’s. Through today's technologies we found each other again in 2014. We have been writing and recording lots of new music and have scored recognition :-)
SONG: "RippOff" - lyrics (verse 1)
IT'S A TRAGEDY... ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE
ONE BAND CLONES ANOTHER
A NEW TREND IS SET... YOU'RE SURE TO BET
THERE'S SOON TO BE A HUNDRED LIKE THE OTHER
Story behind the song
I had another opportunity that fell through the cracks! This AWESOME band that was interested in me as they listened to the recordings that I have up here... I wrote words & practiced them at home as they lost 1 guitarist of 2 & were breaking in a new one. I recorded vocal tracks over their music but they felt it didn't fit what they were looking for. So I didn't get the gig but I do want to share them with you all
Lyrics
EPIC
By Neil Whittington
HEAR THE DRUMS THEY’VE GOT THAT ROLL
A MACHINE GUN SOUND AS-THEY FIRE THEIR-BLOW
A-RAT-DA-DAT-TAT AND A BIG BOOM BANG
HAD ENOUGH OF THAT WE’VE GOT TO HANG-
THEM ON THE SHELVES AT THE ARMORY
NOT IN OUR HOMES THERE AIN'T NO NEED
FOR HUNTING GAME DON’T-NEED-NO MAGAZINE
WITH MORE THAN TEN WOW CAN’T YOU SEE
A FEW YEARS PAST, THE BAN HAD DIED
ASSAULT WEAPONS, WERE BACK ALIVE
HE CAME INTO THE WESTROADS MALL
WITH AN AKM TO KILL THEM ALL
HE-HAD-LEFT, HIS MOM A LITTLE NOTE
BEFORE HE DID-IT, HE HAD TO GLOAT
HE THEN-KILLED EIGHT (8) & WOUNDED FOUR (4)
THEN SHOT HIMSELF AND KILLED NO MORE
THERE HAS GOT TO BE
NO-WAY-THAT YOU NOR ME, CAN-BUY-THEM-
IT’S IN OUR RIGHTS
BUT IT WAS WRITTEN BACK WHEN WE
COULD SHOOT, ONLY-ONE-SHOT-AT-A-T-I-I-I-ME
ON JULY 20TH, TWENTY TWELVE
THE DARK NIGHT RISES... LAST-SHOW-FOR-TWELVE
DECKED FOR WAR, HOLMES CAME IN
HUNDRED-ROUND-DRUM, ON HIS MP-15-
HIT SEVENTY (70) PEOPLE AND THREW SOME GAS
DIDN’T HARM HIM, HE WORE HIS MASK
WHEN ALL WAS OVER, NEXT TO HIS CAR
COPS BUSTED HIM IN JAIL THUS-FAR
THERE HAS GOT TO BE
NO-WAY-THAT YOU NOR ME, CAN-BUY-THEM-
IT’S IN OUR RIGHTS
BUT IT WAS WRITTEN BACK WHEN WE
COULD SHOOT, ONLY-ONE-SHOT-AT-A-T-I-I-I-ME
IN THE YEAR OF TWENTY-TWELVE MANY FELL
IN CALIFORNIA, TEXAS & OREGON,
IN COLORADO & GEORGIA TOO
TENNESSEE & OHIO JUST-TO-NAME-A-FEW
IN PENNSYLVANIA & FLORIDA
IN OKLAHOMA, ARIZONA-WASHINGTON
IN DELAWARE & WISCONSIN TOO
I LOOSE COUNT OH YEAH MINNESOTA TOOOOOO
THERE HAS GOT TO BE
NO-WAY-THAT YOU NOR ME, CAN-BUY-THEM-
IT’S IN OUR RIGHTS
BUT IT WAS WRITTEN BACK WHEN WE
COULD SHOOT, ONLY-ONE-SHOT-AT-A-T-I-I-I-ME
LEAD
ON DECEMBER 14TH 2012 (TWENTY TWELVE)
LANZA SHOT 20 (TWENTY) BABIES DOWN
WITH HIS BUSHMASTER XM 15 (FIFTEEN)
HE’D A-RAT-DA-DAT-TAT BULLETS IN THEIR BRAINS
AMONG THE REST WERE THEIR TEACHERS TOO
IN NEWTOWN, WHAT WERE THEY TO DO
THEY TRIED TO HIDE THEIR KIDS INSTEAD
HE JUST SHOT THEM DOWN, BULLETS IN THEIR HEAD
