The summer is ending leaving us behind But I don't plan on going outside So I don't mind Have you seen people lately? They've all gone crazy so I'm staying away This whole fucking planet is a bus That's gonna crash and kill all of us Pay your fare and say your prayers but don't plan on arriving because stupidity is driving The summer is ending bringing in the fall It'll get cold out but Nothing changes at all Every person I find is losing their mind so I'm staying away This whole fucking planet is a bus That's gonna crash and kill all of us Pay your fare and say your prayers but don't plan on arriving because stupidity is driving

about

Blowupradio.com was doing this thing called the songwriter challenge. Lazlo (the king of blow up radio) would send out an email every few weeks to a bunch of musicians he knows with a vague topic and a due date. Then he played the submissions he got back on the air. I am lucky enough to be on that email list and I had a blast writing and recording a bunch of the challenge songs. This is a compilation of my favorites. I'll put the topic of the challenge for each song in the song description. SIDENOTE: If you don't already know, blowupradio.com is a great site to check out if you want to hear some great New Jersey rock music!
