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.

The storm is underway
We’re running out of time
Pirates sail the ship of state
Legalizing crime
What once was paradise
Somehow the human race
Dismembered and despoiled into
The saddest place in space

Daygloom is upon us
Trepidation haunts the night
Conservatives hold the upper hand
Welcome to… Dismaland

Truth is on the run
While billions follow lies
Democracy perverted by
Traitors in disguise
The stench of greed permeates
The heating atmosphere
Refugees flee the blight
While species disappear

Prisons overflowing
Injustice on the prowl
Hope hangs by a tiny strand
Welcome to… Dismaland

We are better than this
We can turn it around
See deep into the abyss
Then rise up! (Rise up!)
Stand your own ground
Believe these are our rights
This fight belongs to you and to me
Any day we all unite
(Unite! Unite! Unite!)
That's the day we set the world free

Raping of the sea
Burning down the land
Animals slake our bloodlust
Moral contraband
Souls adrift in screens
Malaise and discontent
Diversions and divisions keep us
Safely servient

Banality ascendant
Debauched technology
Corporations in command
This is their… Dismaland
Hope hangs by a tiny strand
Welcome to… Dismaland
How do you like… Dismaland?
