Warm Blooded 02:28
lyrics
A good cup of coffee from my favorite spot down the road. It might cost me but i know where it's grown. I don't need much I'm a simple man a warm blooded American. With a good fence I can do anything in my backyard. The present tense: When I hit it, I hit it hard. I don't need much I'm a simple man a warm blooded American. homegrown, independent, warm blooded American.

Undefined 03:04
lyrics
I am not defined by the bias in your mind the acid in your soil that you're now tasting in the rind the freedoms you abuse & all the views that make you blind yeah that's not me I'm undefined I am not defined by the highest mountain I have climbed the lowest low I've dared to go in the oceans buried deep inside there are no chapters in this book no catchy hooks to underline no you'll have to dig & it's hard to find like the ancient art of dressing depression up in honey yeah I'm just trying to get my claws on that money I've nothing left to say, I yield my time so just talk yourself in circles draw your boxes on that damn dividing line I am not defined by this unfortunate design the vessel I imagine ain't the one i occupy but this one's a work in progress & then the zeroes multiply yeah you could say it's undefined like the ancient art of dressing depression up in honey yeah I'm just trying to get my claws on that money I've nothing left to say, I yield my time so just draw your line & you will find that nothing simply won't divide uncertain but we're certainly alive & undefined credits

Farmer Brown's Mutilated Cow 02:13
lyrics
they point their fingers at the youth who obviously aren't at fault up to their necks in sugar looking for a grain of salt the truth is that the truth will never surface on how farmer brown wound up with a mutilated cow a far more distant race in a far more distant dimension far from license plates & far from hair weave extensions it sounded like a jumbo jet & looked like a clown farmer brown wound up with a mutilated cow follow the feeling that I am not alone stare at the ceiling in this so called home I give you truth but i don't know how farmer brown wound up with a mutilated cow *kazoo*

Complex Creature 03:13
lyrics
you're a complex creature yeah you're the premium blend you're a student & a teacher yeah you're a lover & a friend sometimes when it seems to be tearing at the seams you've got the pen & you're writing the next page of your dreams they'll fight to get the rights to it they'll fight to get the rights to it you're a smile drawn in chalk by an innocent child you're always down for the walk no matter how many miles sometimes when it seems to be tearing at the seams you've got the pen & you're writing the next page of your dreams they'll fight to get the right to it they'll fight to get the right to it & what they really need is right there in front of their face yeah right there in front of their... what they really need is right there in front of their face yeah what I really need is right there in front of my face yeah what I really need is right there in front of my face reaching out reaching out yeah

It's Your Life 02:43
lyrics
You play people's emotions like they are strings on toys. Trying to get a rise out of the boys. You come screaming at me when one snaps back & hits you in your eye. You want me to tell you a lie. If you wanna say something then say it. If you wanna do something, stop talking about it. You're a stones throw away what you do and what you say you do Tossing words like frisbees out of the grey and into the blue You can curse You can pray You can give or take away You can exist and let it go It's your life, I don't know. If you wanna say something then say it. If you wanna do something, stop talking about it. If you wanna say something then say it. If you wanna do something, stop talking about it. Your words are drenched in crappy wine I find you here all the time Timing has absolutely nothing to do with time.

Brainwashed 02:29
lyrics
You look like a real human being But you don't have a mind of your own Yeah, you can talk, you can breathe You can work, you can stitch, you can sew But you're brainwashed Yes you are, yes you are Get down on your knees You've got a job and a house And a wife, and your kids and a car Yeah, you're conditioned to be What they want you to be And be happy to be where you are Yes you are Get down on your knees Get down on your knees The aristocrats and bureaucrats Are dirty rats For making you what you are They're up there and you re down here You're on the ground and they're up with the stars All your life they've kicked you around and pushed you around Till you can't take any more To them you're just a speck of dirt But you don't want to get up off the floor Mister you're just brainwashed They give you social security Tax saving benefits that grow at maturity Yeah, you're conditioned to be What they want you to be And to do what they want you to Yes you are, yes you are Get down on your knees

about

The raw one-man band EP titled "Garage Folk" was recorded live to 2" tape at Battletapes in Nashville, Tennessee last October. "I booked one 10-hour session & setup as if I were playing a show. The idea was to get raw live takes of the one-man garage set that I've been honing for years" says Aaron/Skribe. Jeremy Ferguson at Battletapes has worked with Cage The Elephant, Joshua Hedley, & Pujol to name a few. To keep the Nashville energy going, Skribe had the EP mastered by the great John Baldwin (who has worked with Neil Young, The Rolling Stones, The White Stripes, Ricky Skaggs, Adrian Belew, Motley Crue, and hundreds of others). It's only fitting that an album recorded to tape at a studio called Battletapes would be released as a cassette tape!

Order the cassette here! Only 300 made.
