about

“Gods”: This song is raging against the 24 hour junk news propaganda machine we have to deal with in the USA, and the deep rooted hypocrisy of organized religions and manipulative politicians. The lyric “The bigger the pain, the more gods we need," was taken from a David Bowie interview I read a few years ago. This song features some hyper pizzicato atomic whammy fiddle action.
-Joe Deninzon

lyrics

GODS
(Joe Deninzon)

The bigger the pain the more gods we need
The brighter the lights yeah the faster we speed
We cut way to deep to make ourselves bleed
The more gods we need

The bigger the lie the more truth we seek
Til you’ve seen so much truth you can’t hardly speak
You think you’re so strong you’re protecting the weak
From the truth that they seek

The bigger the pain the more gods we need

The bigger the mouth the new truth is told
To numb the reality breaking the mold
Of in with the new and out with the old
The new truth is told

Denial is a river that flows in our head
And deep is the ocean where we make our bed
And sometimes it drowns us when we break the bread
And sleep like the dead

The bigger the pain the more gods we need
