Partially written in the summer of 2004 at a Wendy's in New Jersey. One of my favorite songs lyrically.

A solo punk band with songs ranging from politics to social issues to evolutionary biology.
Lacking any real musical talent, I decided to use Punk-o-Matic to create some generic punk backgrounds to the various songs I had written. Recorded at low quality through a computer microphone, the songs are not musical masterpieces but the lyrics are still strong. Give it a listen, you might enjoy it.

Lyrics
Sited at a booth in a crowded fast-food chain Underneath the Jersey Turnpike via exit 7A Staring out a window, glaring at the outside Hundreds of cars, trucks and buses go by On the plastic crafted for human use I celebrate our progress, I disdain our abuse In this nexus of needs, this food and fuel I see the glory and the failure of human rule Through the window I see All of humanity Through the window I look On what we gave, what we took Through the window I peer I see smoke, I see clear Through the window I find Contradictions plague my mind The masses take their food, some wear a smile Misanthropic adults and their innocent child Such advancement, food available for so little Yet progress is an enigma wrapped in a riddle We drive on, foot on the accelerator Our destination to be reached soon not later But for now we wait at the gas-and-go Our species wanes, our species grows Through the window I see All of humanity Through the window I look On what we gave and what we took Through the window I peer I see smoke, I see clear Through the window I find Contradictions plague my mind The earth we move The paths we groove The heights we reach The walls we breach The cars we drive The pace we strive The things we make The bread we bake The wars we wage The ones we cage The time we spend The end we fend The holes we dig The traps we rig The fall we fear The doom we near!
