about

A Russian phrase, literally an abbreviation of "Compromising Material", particularly used in politics to coerce, extort, blackmail, or bribe. As for victims, take your pick. While we're at it…we put industry and its overlords on trial, but industry is just an accomplice to consumerism. This is the only Barr Brothers song featuring a "tapping" guitar solo, a technique I learned from MTV in 1989. - Brad Barr

lyrics

---Lyrics---

Look at the sun go behind the hill
Look at the country through a dollar bill
I can't see the bottom of the hole that we're trying to fill

I think we're in love with your abuse
You got one hand on the driver's wheel, in the other a noose
You can call it whatever you want, I say we call it a truce

Whether it breaks, whether it bends
I don't know where I begin and the madness ends
Last time it happened we said we wouldn't let it happen again

White sand, black horses
White sand, black horses
A gold ring in deep water
Why call it anything but….
Greed

I woke up from a bad dream
I was wanted in 11 states for murder it seemed
I was dragging the head of a buffalo through the city streets

White sand, black horses
White sand, black horses
A gold ring in deep water
Why call it anything but….
Greed
