about

Your in your car and everyone seems to be driving faster than they used to, and no one's driving within the lines and neither are you. It starts with "Come On!" and ends with Ralph Carney doing what only Ralph knew how to do which was sound like an animal released from a cage. It's Street Fightin Suffragette Cities vs God Save the Queen, it's Oakland Soul & San Francisco Roll racing across the bridge in both directions with "The Screaming Angels" shouting "God Save The City NOW" and you better fucking believe it. It's not about one city, or town, it's about everyone and whats gonna be left behind if we don't help each other out. All of our Brothers & Sisters! Where we live and on the streets in our communities. By the end of the song you've passed everybody on the freeway and there's nothing but open road. Now what are you gonna do?
Save the artist and save our fucking venues.....NOW!

lyrics

GOD SAVE THE CITY

COME ON!
GOD SAVE THE CITY FROM A FALLEN FATE
WHAT YA THOUGHT WAS PROGRESS TURNED TO HATE
OH WHY?
SPACE REMOVED AND FOLKS ON THE RUN
CAN’T AFFORD THE LIVIN WHERE MY LIVIN IS DONE
OH WHY?
THEY SANG IT LIKE AN ANGEL WITH THE DEVILS RHYME
CAUSE THEIR GIVING AWAY YOURS AND SELLING MINE
WHATCHA GOT FOR ME NOW?
(GOD SAVE THE CITY, GOD SAVE THE CITY)
WHATCHA GOT FOR ME NOW YOU GOT NOTHING FOR ME NOW.

PLAYING DEAD IN A FAKIN TOWN
EVEN YOU PUT YOUR HANDS UP YOU COULD GET SHOT DOWN
OH WHY?
A FAILED SOLUTION NO ENDING THAT’S TRUE
SOME NIGHTS OF REVOLUTION NO KICK THAT CAME THROUGH
OH WHY?
YOUR SUCKERED ON THE VERGE OF A PAPER CRIME
CAUSE THERE GIVING AWAY YOURS AND SELLING MINE

WHATCHA GOT FOR ME NOW?
(GOD SAVE THE CITY, GOD SAVE THE CITY)
WHATCHA GOT FOR ME NOW
YOU GOT NOTHING FOR ME NOW?
WHATCHA GOT FOR ME NOW
(GOD SAVE THE CITY, GOD SAVE THE CITY)
WHATCHA GOT FOR ME NOW?
YOU GOT NOTHING FOR ME NOW.

GOD SAVE THE CITY FROM A FALLEN FATE
WHAT YA THOUGHT WAS PROGRESS TURNED HATE
OH WHY?
GOT YOUR EYES UP ON THE CORNER TRYIN TO KEEP IT REAL
BUT YOUR PHONE AINT GONNA TELL YOU HOW TO FUCKING FEEL
OH WHY?

WHATCHA GOT FOR ME NOW?
(GOD SAVE THE CITY, GOD SAVE THE CITY)
WHATCHA GOT FOR ME NOW?
YOU GOT NOTHING FOR ME NOW
WHATCHA GOT ………FOR ME NOW………………
GOD SAVE THE CITY
GOD SAVE THE CITY
GOD SAVE THE CITY
GOD SAVE THE CITY NOW
GOD SAVE THE CITY NOW
GOD SAVE THE CITY NOW
GOD SAVE THE CITY NOW NOW NOW NOW

Brad Brooks Oakland, California

Brad Brooks is that rare quadruple threat of writer, player, singer, and performer.
His songs combine the melodic sensibility of Elvis Costello, the best instincts of Wilco and Brian Wilson, the orchestral sophistication of Queen, along w/the Stonesy/Bowie gritty edges of rock/soul.
"If you're anything like me, you need some good news. Brad Brooks' music is that good news”……….Wayne Kramer ... more
