Lost Summer
c. '20 Vlayman
Been a long three years
We'll never get back all the tears
I'm dehydrated
I'm frustrated
Been a long three years
CH
And now we're here
and we can't get any numb-er
In this lost summer
Been a sad, sad time
Over and over, all down the line
We been disenfranchised
My emotions ain't really mine
Been a sad, sad time
CH
And now we're here
and we can't get any numb-er
In this lost summer
Bridge:
And we were lookin' at fall
To end it all
to end the pain and the shame
Do you recall
how it used to be
Do you remember you and me
before this lost summer?
CH
And now we're here
and we can't get any numb-er
In this lost summer

Audience of One
c. '20 Vlayman products
You walk out on the stage
Look into the eyes of rage
say what you gotta say
you say what you hafta say
That yer tellin' lies
is something you deny
say what you gotta say
you say what you hafta say
CH: Ooo-oo-oo, ain't it fun
Ooo-oo-oo, speakin' to
an audience of one
So you fix yer yer hair up right
Ya wanna look good in the TV lights
say what you gotta say
you say what you hafta say
CH: Ooo-oo-oo, ain't it fun
Ooo-oo-oo, speakin' to
an audience of one
CH2:
Ooo-oo-oo,
Ooo-oo-oo,
Ooo-oo-oo,
Ooo-oo-oo,
You think yer the bomb
With her hair all up and blond
Yer TV make-up on
The lies in which you make us drown

Divide Us
c. '20 Vlayman
You lied, you denied,
by these things you did divide
You did divide us
It isn't to your credit
that we ended up here
losin' so much dear
Y'know, instead it's
Something that will be
your truly failed legacy
You lied, you denied,
by these things you did divide
You did divide us
It wasn't an accomplishment
That so many cried
because so many died
It's not embellishment
to say you magnified
with your incompetence and lies
Yes, you lied, you denied,
by these things you did divide
You did divide us
You lied, you denied,
by these things you did divide
You did divide us
And in the morning
when we awake
list all of your mistakes
we'll still be mourning
when we knock you down
piss on your phony crown
humiliate yer complicit family
repudiate any claimed legacy
illustrate all your crimes
in history's broken lines
of failed wannabe's
who never saw past me-me-me
You lied, you denied,
by these things you did divide
You did divide us

Tribute
c. '20 Vlayman
Gonna c all all y'all out
Gonna call you out for all
your misrepresentations
your hatred of race
it runs a pace with your
love of suppression
Your use of aggression
Your failures of confession
Oh yeah, we're talkin' to you
Hypocrisy is the tribute
vice pays to virtue.”
tell ya what it's all about
Gonna make the call for all
your lack of real candor
your hatred of progress
your failure to undress
the naked emperor's cloaks
The nightmares that awoke
the governance by jokes
Oh yeah, we're talkin' to you
“Hypocrisy is the tribute
vice pays to virtue.”
Bridge:
And when yer lieing there
If you make it that far
On yer dying bed
serving the Death Star
remember what you never said
remember what you never said
Your use of aggression
Your failures of confession
Oh yeah, we're talkin' to you
“Hypocrisy is the tribute
vice pays to virtue.”

Vlayman Chicago, Illinois
Fat, bald and old - could I be anymo' rock-n-roll?
I play guitar, bass, some keys and percussion, and I try to
vocalize. I write and record, and I do so obsessively. Also, I like martoonies, a lot, and I raise my kids, whom I also like, a lot.
Look for me at the TapeOp and TalkBass forums, where I'm vvv, or in various bars in the Loop.
