Rusty Reid

Rusty Reid is an American independent, alternative-folk rock singer-songwriter. Born and raised in West Texas, he came of age in the late 1960s, and still carries the spirit of that revolutionary era in his head and heart. Rusty writes melodic, guitar-powered songs, many of which are philosophic, political and/or spiritual (not religious) in thematic content. He writes songs for the world, extolling universal virtue, defending the oppressed, and is a frequent thrower of musical fireballs at the citadel of conformity and all of its many cults.

So it's finally come to this
Do I have to shake my fist
In your vacant face
Does taste mean more to you
Than rising up into
A higher plane of Grace

Passion or Fashion, Passion or Fashion

That fur coat you're slipping on
Screams that you are so far gone
From compassion's hold
And that steak upon your plate
Bleeds the truth about your state
Simply fool's gold

Passion or Fashion
(Which of these apply to you?)
Passion or Fashion
(Which can you afford to lose?)

Say you're an animal lover, I'm blowing your cover
Too bad if it brings you down
Let's see you walk it, the way that you talk it
If you can't do that, I'm calling you out

It's high time we saw the light
The holocaust in every bite
Of murdered kin
Don't speak of peace and love
When you're chewing on the dove
And awash in sin

Say you're an animal lover, as you're eating another
Mindless and heartless clowns
Why don't you step into virtue, for them and for you, too
If you can't do that, I'm calling you out... yeah

Aye-yi, aye-yi
Say you're an animal lover
Aye-yi, aye-yi
I say you're a liar
Aye-yi, aye-yi
Step into virtue
Aye-yi, aye-yi
For them and for you, too
