lyrics

God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
And he loves me too

God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
And he loves me too

God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
And he loves me too

God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
And he loves me too

When the earthquake came
Nobody gave a shit
They sent some aid
Went to the dictatorship
And guess how well that whole ordeal went

This isn't new
It's always happening
But it hit a nerve
we never went back again
you and me both we know what's up

it never ends, it's an age old story
in the 20s in the 80s even now, it gets boring

it never ends, it's an age old story
in the 20s in the 80s even now, it gets boring

you may be feeling lost, don't know what to do
you just got two people to answer to
God, or anything you moralize, and you

you see the problem was
the Filibusters chose him
he can't be earnest
he doesn't come from the heart
and the filibusters
don't even let me start

you may have doubts
it may be painful
but anything is better
then being chained by the ankles

it never ends, it's an age old story
in the 20s in the 80s even now, it gets boring

you may not know it but now you will
being yourself is following His will

it never ends, it's an age old story
in the 20s in the 80s even now, it gets boring

if you're gay, trans, bi, or lesbian
if you're an artist and not sure you'll fit in

it never ends, it's an age old story
in the 20s in the 80s even now, it gets boring

and if that upsets you, well that's ok
just take a look to the other way
the filibusters promote democracy
by arming troops that kill indiscriminately
the filibusters always invoke God
while they play one like a fraud
it's blasphemy it's hegemony
so be the person you ought to be

God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
And he loves me too

God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
And he loves me too

God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
And he loves me too

God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
And he loves me too

God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
And he loves me too


Always in rebellion, we kept on fighting… sometimes we won, sometimes we didn’t. Sometimes we won and still lost, but we always lost what we won. Unfinished–our land is unwritten, words composed but never arranged. A region liberated, but its people estranged. Started with wars for our Gods, now our Gods are drugs. We sacrifice each other for their blessing.

It’s never too late to change. You can always rewrite your name, you just can’t rewrite the pain.

about

Syzygy Records Aliso Viejo, California

Syzygy Records isn't a label; it is a portfolio of every project I, Monty Cime, have created.
When I was 11, I learnt the word "syzygy," & in trying to show an example of it, conjectured that "art is the result of an alignment (a "syzygy") of influences & life experiences beyond one's control"—these are my "Syzygy Records."
This conjecture, I came to find out, is a tenet of historical materialism.
