lyrics

paper tigers
ranting, raving for some action
the last to raise their hand
but first to load a question
the hypocrites are plenty
the sycophants are ready

those paper tigers
way too quick to take offense
too slow to make amends
decide or be dealt with
this isn't how we planned it
you disagree, you're guilty

so drunk with spite
constant buzzing of the soundbite
there is no here nor there
react, spin then redirect
this lusting quest for power
what once was yours is ours

ambition's a bore, we've seen it all before
when they're no longer trending, the charade is ending

so lay the blame on pigment
when it seems the most convenient
attention is the currency
no such thing as decency
this modern age is just a stage
this modern age is just a...phase

i once had a thought so clear
something i once held dear

so blame it on the government
blame it on the rising rent
attention is the currency
no such thing as decency
this modern age is just a stage
this modern age is just a...phase

about

The Mystic Underground New York

Life...set to a dance beat. The soundtrack of your trials and tribulations. Injecting a generous dollop of drama along with extra helpings of synths and sass into an otherwise dreary and desolate musical landscape is what The Mystic Underground are here to offer. A collision of sounds. A thoughtful and whimsical blend of man versus machine.

Welcome.
