about

I read George Orwell's book "1984" and then wrote this song. That was February, 2017. The music video for this song was filmed entirely on the islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Samui, in Thailand, in October, 2017.

lyrics

- Hit The Road Again -

Pull the brain out of my head
Shake off the dust
Give me a woman with scars on her wrists
Someone to trust
Scrape the sorrow from my eyes
Got to escape from the house of sighs, and then
Hit the road again.

Bury the thoughts screaming in your skull
Or they'll lock you away
Vaporized for a nervous tic
Before the light of day
Billionaires police the mind
For anything more than a childish rhyme of pretend
Hit the road again.

Visions of the grave terrorize the dreams
Of a desolate few
I gave birth to a grenade in a spiritless world
And then it blew
Pieces of memories scattered around
Leaping from the coffin, six feet underground, blood-stained
I hit the road again.

Hands of the clock, marching along
Strangely rehearsed
Puppet master's lies sending time
Spinning in reverse
Climb the wall to freedom, should it still exist
Drop from your bloody, patriotic fist, the chains
Hit the road again
Hit the road again
Hit the road again.
