lyrics
Minds that were built free to roam
Left twisted spare parts by the road
Still running we make on our own
Defending the code which you wrote
Let rust our days of solitude
Bodies fade, we forge anew
We wait till dark to make our strike
Then light up the sky
Wake up mother, wake up father, come see
There's a fire in your city
Wake up mother wake up father, come see
The end of your hype machine
Assemble the troubles you've made
Hack in and dismantle their fate
The fazed out resigned, and replaced
Will re-write the codes in our name
Left twisted spare parts by the road
Still running we make on our own
Defending the code which you wrote
Let rust our days of solitude
Bodies fade, we forge anew
We wait till dark to make our strike
Then light up the sky
Wake up mother, wake up father, come see
There's a fire in your city
Wake up mother wake up father, come see
The end of your hype machine
Assemble the troubles you've made
Hack in and dismantle their fate
The fazed out resigned, and replaced
Will re-write the codes in our name

about
Blanket Barricade Vancouver, British Columbia
One damp day a parade began on the streets of Vancouver. A band of haggard musicians led by Wesley Krauss made their way through the city, ringing bells and telling tales of revolutions, devious lovers, and lost robots. Wesley's signature whine and dine vocals were complimented by the walls of guitars, pianos, and tubular bells orchestrated by the bandsmen. Come behind our Blanket Barricade... ... more
