Down With the DABC

about

Anyone who has ever tried to get a drink in Utah knows about the odd and sometimes demeaning liquor laws. Many of the law-makers aren't even affected by the laws they create, since their "lifestyle" doesn't allow drinking. Those who actually do take part are ready for a change and set their sights on the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

lyrics

straight out the plastic and you know you gotta have it
comin to your city tryin to form some formal habits
3.2 and if it's cool to you
you better lace up your shoes and stop along with the groove
because all in all we ain't no brick in the wall
we just a bunch of peasants tryin to answer up the call like
1 shot 2 shot 3 shot 4
it ain't about gettin wasted so what's the legislation for
i can tell that you like to control
and losin grip on the people's like losin they soul
cuz heaven forbid we got a life without walls
we havin too much fun tryin to make 'em all fall
ah nah the battle evermore
phaust and i are takin apps so meet us at the back door
so while you're bullshittin spending tax dollars
we buildin up an army of free thinkers and scholars

down with the dabc
you can't control me
no more holdin on my hand
lord i'm not a little baby i'm a grown ass man
down with the dabc
gotta set me free
wanna come step to me
you best believe it might affect your life expectancy
are you threatening or testing me
we don't need a spirit deputy
enough is enough is enough
is enough is enough is enough
not down with the dabc
you can't patrol my destiny
listen we don't need no prohibition
swap spots with the mom and pop shops

this ain't about shots and beers
this ain't about the people here
this ain't about hatin your peers
the only thing here is consumption of fear
keep your eye on the prize or a fist on the goods
and if they ever come knockin better knock on wood
a frantic situation leads to quick complications
and we don't need no goddamn more legislation
because it's mind over matter ain't it
a simple small rule the pieces don't fit
all this time energy wasted space
overseein somethin that was never really even outta place
are you tired of the beat down
i know i'm tired of always runnin around
so if it pleases the court i'll say my last peace
down with the damn dabc

down with the dabc
you can't control me
no more holdin on my hand
lord i'm not a little baby i'm a grown ass man
down with the dabc
gotta set me free
wanna come step to me
you best believe it might affect your life expectancy
are you threatening or testing me
we don't need a spirit deputy
enough is enough is enough
is enough is enough is enough
not down with the dabc
you can't patrol my destiny
listen we don't need no prohibition
swap spots with the mom and pop shops

about

Sinthesis Salt Lake City, Utah

Phaust has been known primarily for his witty wordplay whereas Phingaz has made his mark on the production game. In their latest hiphop/bluesrock endeavor Horseshoes & Handgrenades, the duo set aside their niches for a live sounding, gritty crack at sharing responsibilites. Though 2 outcomes were forseen (pathetic/incredulous) the latter has been achieved. Oh so NASTY! ... more
