about

Not all children are SWEET & INNOCENT. Some. Regardless of our guidance and care. Grow up to be the public's enemy #1.

lyrics

Cindy's got your number
got a penchant for electronics
cyber-sensing dolly
she will rock you - till you quake and fall

She's drawing a line of teen distraction
she's chewing her gum and bouncing in time
to their urban withdrawal
while her victims - jerk at their drawers

Timmy likes his camera
likes to pose for the congressmen
sneaky little fucker
he'll be banking - like a diplomat

He's cutting up lines for party favors
to share with this pals
then the old man hits the floor
hog tied and handcuffed and painted for sport

Old time religion didn't do it's good god thang
they all tried to lock them and tie to wear medieval things
they think that they're so innocent, incapable and sweet
I'll tell you this the new millennia helped create those dad gum beasts

In the age of Aquarius
this sort of thing didn't happen
there were daises and day glow print
and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaw yes PCP

So you think that's the end?
Flash forward 2029
he's getting awards and shocking the crowds
She's breeding her guards and disarming their bombs
the victims she had are now doing their time

Wicked little children
they're modeled by this prefab world
clever as a raccoon
more deadly than Hiroshima
They're waiting in the kitchens
they're lurking in this shopping mall
much wiser to their killing
they'll rock you till you quake and fall

Charles Otis Gainesville, Florida

I'm a 60 year old musician, singer and songwriter residing in Gainesville, Florida. I've been at song crafting a very long time. I'm passionate about it. I think that memorable musical pieces can be like a short audio / film or story. I love mixing technology with traditional rock and exotic ethnic instrumentation. You'll find a little bit of everything in what I do.
