lyrics

When they tore the curtain down to reveal
Every hoax and treason and dirty deal
We could not believe it was a charade
Used to earn our trust, then have it betrayed
So as all our bearings became unglued
Our concern for news programs was renewed
And we took in all that we could digest
To be educated for the next test

'Cause we're mad as hell, and we're not gonna take this anymore
No longer will we play this game of bull and matador
We see just how they pick our pockets, leaving not a dime
But we're not gonna let them get away with it this time

Well we've heard the news on the radio
And we're gonna act on what we know
'Cause we have the power of people's choice
If we only can unify our voices
And when our time finally arrives
We will pull our guns and unsheath our knives
As we take our cause out into the streets
We'll take back what's ours from the top elites

'Cause we're mad as hell, and we're not gonna take this anymore
Our megaphones are turned so high that they cannot ignore
Our overwhelming push to turn the order back around
Beginning with the ballots, we will let our voices sound.....

We want Barabbus

O You, Stone Changeling
by Brine Webb

I heard "Ghost Family" on the radio once and jumped to investigate which up-and-coming California-based artist was responsible. Turns out it was Brine Webb from Norman, who put out this heartbreaker. Jarvix

Carcosa
by KNOble Savage

Possibly the most criminally overlooked local album I know. If you think rap music anymore is all about high aspirations and repping, give this a listen. It's down-to-earth, and it pulls no punches. Jarvix

Para Ti
by Lincka

Honestly, Lincka is probably the most exciting thing happening in Oklahoma right now. Bilingual pop with oodles of colorful musical textures and surprises. Young ACM@UCO talent at its best. Jarvix
