about

Lyrics by Thea Kelley
Music by Eric Kampman

lyrics

hear the humming of machinery
hands assembling some small novelty
another long day in the factory
work cheap, hourly

hollywood is busy cranking
formulas on which they're banking
creativity is tanking
so much wanking

egos idolized
children sexualized
bullshit supersized
the world commercialized

gotta fuel our fossil engines
trouble with complex dimensions
middle east in endless tensions
drunk on vengeance

we are at an intersection
more than ever, need direction
but who's buying the election?
whose connections?

congress polarized
values marketized
rainforests pulverized
the world commercialized

egos idolized
children sexualized
bullshit supersized
the world commercialized

old friend, it's been so
long since i've seen you
hold my hand
how've you been?
i want to know
what's on your mind

dear friend, looking in
your eyes, just for this
moment, i
need nothing more

humans can be very clever
we might learn to work together
share our home in crazy weather
make it better

if we question all our chasing
change the goal to which we're racing
in the very center placing
all-embracing love

about

Luminous Newts image

Luminous Newts Berkeley, California

Eclectic, original, melodic prog-pop-rock group headed by two singer-songwriters. Based in Berkeley, California.

Not derivative and not predictable. Not good at describing ourselves. Interested in hearing your take on it.
