about

Written in the early days of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Ides of March addresses the incompetence, ignorance, and apathy of the ruling class amidst unprecedented times. As people struggle to provide for themselves and their families, the wealthy and powerful continue to profit while celebrities spew hollow platitudes at consumers, exposing the resolute indifference towards the working class and a glaring divide between the haves and the have-nots.

lyrics

Plague!
With a forked tongue - two pronged
Ignorance, apathy keep it going strong
You’re removed, out of touch
Looking down from your tower as the people turn to dust
How many innocents die
Before you wake up and you swallow your pride?
How you could be so oblivious
And act so surprised when the masses are furious?

Fucking get a clue
You’ve got another thing coming if ya
Think I’m through with you
Somebody’s gotta wise you up
Pacify your need
To search for pity while living your
Life of luxury
A symbol of inequity

Trade!
Before the night falls
Quick on the draw, breaking the law
Once everything’s gone, the banks’s your first thought
A glaring divide between the haves and the have-nots
No! No not another bailout
You’ve had your chance bitch, three strikes you’re out
There’s no room for the status quo
So saddle up lock n load and prepare for the shit show

Fucking get a clue
You’ve got another thing coming if ya
Think I’m through with you
Somebody’s gotta wise you up
Pacify your need
To search for pity while living your
Life of luxury
A symbol of inequity
