about

We demoed this song once in 2009 while we were recording the EP that caused the band to break up. Jeff came to practice with an idea for a song where he was playing a different note on every upstroke and we worked it out for a little while and recorded a one mic demo. We forgot this song existed until Nick found a copy of it on his laptop in 2015. When we decided to get back together in 2020 we thought this would be a great song to revive. This may be the only song that we wrote that starts and ends with the chorus

lyrics

Have we not learned our lesson?
Find the cure and hold the power
Infected with deception
Share the cure, enhance the power

Stuck inside today
Same as yesterday
With the exponential spread
Of opposing evidence

Why did they begin
Discounting Science?
And allowing judgement
To fall into subsidence?
They underestimate
Our power of logic.
(It’s) another casualty
Of unchecked markets.

It’s not the headlines, the ruling elite,
It’s the mindless replication of contagious deceit.
Our society relies on true information
So we can direct the course of our nation

Empowerment is common sense

Have we not learned our lesson?
Find the cure and hold the power
Infected with deception
Share the cure, enhance the power

Truth is the blood of society
That brings sustenance to the mind
The governing body can’t function
If the heart is falsified

When the pathogens attack our system
Then the antibodies must react
Even a body without symptoms
Must defend and prevent contact
Just avoid contact

Have we not learned our lesson?
Find the cure and hold the power
Infected with deception
Share the cure, enhance the power

Now that we’re the free press it’s up to us
To distinguish facts from opinions
Rationalizing your normalcy bias
and the lies spreads faster still

When will we learn our lesson?
Nothing spreads faster than lies.

Eliminate the sickness
Share the truth, enhance the power
