about

From the album "54 Strange Words" by The Bipeds

lyrics

The Ranson Note
(Lyrics to be recited backwards)

Confusion on the factory floor
Have mercy, this is not what we planned
No steam in the turbine
And the money's all gone
A ransom note in the shop steward's hand
Strange words, a list of demands
We don't understand

Who brought this plague to my people
Who pulled this family apart
Fear in the humid air
South Carolina
If war comes this is where it will start
We don't recognize the shape of this heart
This mercury heart
