Who can make people scream Children die women weep Who can make all the men Choose a side kill their kind? CIA FBI DHS USA Who can lie Who can cheat Build a wall Start a war Who can make Who can win Who can steal Who's the shit? CIA FBI FDA USA It's an obsessive rom-com with a socialist flair Coming out to get you from a Google run state An obsessive rom-com with a socialist flair coming out to get you from a Google run state

I took a test, was unimpressed I took a test if any I took a job, I took a job I took a job, today I drank some wine, I drank some wine I drank some wine again And I danced all night, I danced all night And then I thought the thing was Listen to your body as it pushes through the day Listen to your lover as he leaves you for a friend Make sure that, make sure that Make sure that you go honest and employed List of the faces, a place with many names List of the places, born out of your mistake Make sure that, make sure that Make sure that you don't end up all alone I got something to show you, I got something to show you I learned a lot, I told a lie I got something to show you, I got something to show you I went out, I did the thing I took a job, took a job I went out, I did the thing I took a job, took a job took a job

about

Park Snakes is a rock n' roll trio featuring Maria "Nenet" (vocals), Van Hillard (drums) and Chad McCall (bass).

"CIA" is the first song we worked on in 2019 as a trio. It was exciting to try to define a new sound that only involved bass, drums, and vocals. This song speaks about surveillance, compulsion and the atrocities committed by the US government. "Took a Job", on the other hand, is a lighthearted dance that deals with mass production, modern consumption habits and well, having a 'job'. Both songs are an experiment in minimal, repetitive lyrics that are purposely simple and devoid of the literary flair we sought in our previous release "Silk".

Nenet - vocals
Van Hillard - drums
Chad McCall - bass, guitar

Recorded and mixed by Don Godwin at Tonal Park, MD
