Rough Tongue

about

Guitar was my first love. I got into Rock and Indie just before I got into Electronic music. It wasn't until much later that I was able to start showing that influence more, and I wanted a damn barn-burner after coming out and realizing people want me dead.

This track is heavily influenced by Beck's track "E-Pro". It's almost a cover. I wanted something with that same vibe and wanted to aim that at fascists and transphobes. I also wanted to challenge myself into making a proper rock track since I didn't feel I had yet, to that point

Mixing this for the LP was a bit of a challenge too since the original mix was pretty muddy, I think. I reckon it's in a much better spot now though and I learned a lot about mixing down rock here.

lyrics

Gut shot, put him down
Don't take kind to him 'round here
Sun baked, brain's a fire
You took what we got no askin'

Good god, snake in the grass
Baggin' him up to throw him down
Hostage, problem is
Take one down another rears up

Buckshot
Feed the worms
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Hooves and
Antlers down
Now now now now

Say your
Long goodbye
aye aye aye aye

Make your
Momma cry
aye aye aye aye

Headlong, check your neck
Don't know where you got the idea
Vulture, circle high
Waitin' for a second helpin'

Pistol consequence
Look me in the eye and see
Debt paid, signed in blood
All that's left is time to collect

Buckshot
Feed the worms
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Hooves and
Antlers down
Now now now now

Say your
Long goodbye
aye aye aye aye

Make your
Momma cry
aye aye aye aye

Rough Tongue, cost your neck
Cut ties and sever from bone
Kiss the ground below you
Fascists get to die alone

Rough Tongue, cost your neck
Cut ties and sever from bone
Kiss the ground below you
Transphobes get to die alone

Buckshot
Feed the worms
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Hooves and
Antlers down
Now now now now

Say your
Long goodbye
aye aye aye aye

Make your
Momma cry
aye aye aye aye
