Story Behind The Song
I previously uploaded an acoustic version of this song, but I knew that it would translate nicely into a Rock song. Once again Broadjammer Dave Haddad has added his inimitable drums and percussion.

Lyrics
Vinyl records on the sidewalk
On the pavement on the street
Furniture at the junk yard
In the trash can
While we just sleep
We're throwing away our culture
Our culture, our culture
We're throwing away our culture
Our culture
As I speak
Drones fill the sky
They're keeping their eye
On you and me
Information overload
Just do as you're told
Here comes a cold front
We're throwing away our culture
Our culture, our culture
We're throwing away our culture
Our culture
As I speak, yeah
We've giving up ground
We're losing our sound
We're lost in this town
Our buildings are dust
Our motors are rust
Our temperature's way down
Rags and bones
Rollin' Stones
Hearts and homes
They're throwing away our culture
Our culture, our culture
They're throwing away our culture
Our culture
I just weep
