From the recording Pin Drop
An original song and effort by the Boston music community to call out ICE and complicit government leaders practicing illegal detainment, disappearance, and destruction of hard working families. Please consider supporting all fine organizations trying to help families impacted - especially one of our local favorites MIRA which provides legal support for immigrants and refugees unfairly affected by these policies.
The realization of this song ‘Pin Drop’ was the result of a challenge by Andy Plaisted (White Owls), local drummer and owner of Electric Andyland. He volunteered his time as a producer/drummer and so did musicians Dana Colley (Morphine) Chris Rival(Mule Variations) , Timo Shanko (Dub Apocalypse) , to support a 'pin drop' of protest. A million pin drops will help poke through the barriers of ignorance and injustice and hopefully lead to a correction of our current national path. So please help and 1. share this 2. support local organizations wherever you are or in New England MIRA (Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy) Coalition @mira_coalition 3. Keep the pressure on your local representatives to resist bending the knee.
Please support MIRA and safely call out illegal detainment wherever you see it. No Kings, ICE Out and cut the shit!#iceout #miracoalition #
Lyrics
Now there's a pin drop poppin' through the concrete
And there's a blind man cryin' tears of blood
There's an idiot king revving up his engine
Makin' money, fuckin' everything up
And now there's blue lights flashing in your window
A hammer breaking through the glass
Disappearing people in every goddamn city in this country
How long is this gonna last?
Every little pin drop
Every little pill pop
Every little pressure drop
How long's it gonna last?
Every little tongue tied
Every little wink of an eye
Every little hurting inside
Might just be your last
Well, it takes all the attention you can muster
It's hard enough when you're working on the line
Toughing up, keeping up, looking over your shoulder
When you're living in a jungle full of lies
And now there's masked men waiting in the shadows
Every day when you take your kids to school
Lost dogs looking for a handout
Pirates counting up their loot
Every little pin drop
Every little pill pop
Every little pressure drop
How long's it gonna last?
Every little tongue tie
Every little wink of an eye
Every little hurting inside
I'll just be your last
Might just be your last
Might just be your last
Might just be your last
Might just be your last
Might just be your last
I hear the drumming, fingers in the distance
Chaos lurking round the bend
Something's gonna break
And people getting hurt
We all know how this is gonna end
Cause there's a pin drop
Popping through the concrete
And a blind man crying tears of blood
An idiot king
A revving up ascension
Making money, fucking everything up
Every little pin drop
Every little pill pop
Every little pressure drop
How long's it gonna last
Every little tongue tie
Every little wink of an eye
Every little hurting inside
Might just be your last
Might just be your last
Might just be your last
Might just be your last
Might just be your last
Might just be your last
