lyrics

If God is so great / And the gospel “good news”
Why does gospel music always sound like the blues?
Is God a jilted lover? / A mysterious muse?
Why does gospel music always sound like the blues?

If God is the light / why we sittin’ in the dark?
Why does every hymn sound like funeral march?
God is Love / not a broken heart
So why do all these hymns sound like a funeral march?

Father-Mother / Or any name we choose:
Why does gospel music always sound like the blues?
Do we only pray / when there’s nothing left to lose?
Why does gospel music always sound like the blues?
Why does gospel music always sound like the blues?

This band brings together the richness of acoustic music, the charm of alt-country and the energy of melodic punk. Whether playing distorted power chords or fingerpicking crisply, the witty and relatable lyrics balance humor with darkness.
