about
Babies die when you send them to school? But what's up with all that war-imagery in the lyrics? hmm...
If you see it, it's there.
lyrics
Stingray relates to bomb days, so hello mayday, it takes cash to be the best.
And somewhere around the hillsides, we seem to eat lies; they say “we’re better than the rest.”
Big plans on leather book hands, will defy stands, they know words we’ll never own.
And great strides were made by hard eyes, but at the same time they might be dumber than you think.
And so they say we were playing on the radio.
We should swallow up our pride and save a child by being stereo.
It’s not cool to send babies off to school.
They run out of gas too fast, then they die.
It’s not cool to send babies off to school.
They run out of gas too fast, then they die.
You've got to wait a while longer before you put them in school, because babies dying young ain't cool.

If you're into prog and dark catchy music, this one's for you. Deep rumbling vocals and really, really good lyrics abound. If you haven't heard these guys, do yourself a favor and check them out! Moron Police
One of the greatest finds I've had the pleasure of...eh..finding on here! Really wonderful, technical and experimental, with those great melodies that you love to sing along to until Grandma kills you Moron Police
Another project of the songwriter of Moron Police. Very silly, but catchy, Power Metal. About a dragon living in a sink and a penguin in a swimsuit that eats babies. Moron Police
I haven't been able to listen to or think about any other band since finding this album two months ago, and that very rarely happens for me. Blackbox is a beautiful, nuanced ride through the dark from start to finish... and so much skill and love have gone into it. Thank you for this gift! ashbrino
