We are all frustrated. The status quo is no longer acceptable. Bad ideas are no longer tolerable. Let's send the politicians who block progress and positive change home. Let's vote 'em away.

lyrics

Vote ‘Em Away

You know they’ll lie to you
With a smile on their face
As they look me in the eye
From that most disgraceful place

Then they’ll send me a letter
To cover their tracks
It says nothing
Nor admits
That they’ll never have our backs

We gotta vote
Vote em away
We gotta vote
Vote em away

The days of the White man
Have been numerous and true
But some other folks want a chance
To help find the truth

Cause we can work as a team
and we know what to do
We got to get up
We got to get out
We gotta get in that booth

We gotta vote
Vote em away
We gotta vote
Vote em away

Anyone prefers the gun to the children should know
Why don’t you empty out your pockets
While we cut you down slow
We’re coming for you

We gotta vote
Vote em away
We gotta vote
Vote em away

From the dank depths of the Brooklyn subways to the spiritually orgasmic heights of Jackson Hole WY, Ben Musser's indie roots project BENYARO carves a unique path w 1 rule: make great art. Honest, vulnerable shit. Neil Jenny once told Ben "In order to create something truly unique 1 must shut out the influence of others". If anything, here's a killer contemporary artists' advice applied to music. ... more

Little Seeds
by Shovels & Rope

Another power duo that sings and rocks the roof off. Minimalism is sexy, yo. Benyaro

Metamodern Sounds In Country Music
by Sturgill Simpson

Rock 'n' roll with an attitude that's missing in music. This album earned Sturgill all sorts of accolades and 'broke' him, so they say. We like him cause he's nobody's bitch. Benyaro
