about

This track has been roughly a year in the making. It was initially written about the moment you decide to make a hard decision; that moment where you say "to hell with it" and take the leap.

We started the remote recording process early into the COVID-19 shelter at home period. After the murder of George Floyd and worldwide demonstrations against police prejudice and brutality we decided that this song should be dedicated to all those undertaking the difficult task of fixing the ongoing problem of unequal justice in the USA.

We are in awe of all the people organizing, spreading information, drafting policy changes, raising their voice, holding people accountable, and putting their own safety on the back burner to fight for a better tomorrow.

This song is free to download but we have left the "pay if you want" option on. Every cent you pay we will donate to the Milwaukee Freedom Fund (www.facebook.com/MKEFreedomfund/). If you would rather download the track for free and donate to a different cause we support that decision.

Thanks everyone, we love you.

-- Pay The Devil

lyrics

Today is the day I'll get back on my way
And accept the truth that most good decisions aren't fun
There's no stopping now, and time won't allow
Me to sit back and think about all the damage I've done
The bull's gonna run

In times like these, it's a privilege to breathe, to live in this moment and not let the world get me spun
The sky's falling down, sirens scream all around
But we've gotta push on through flash bangs and tear gas and guns
The bull's gonna run

Maybe it's the way I see red when you tell me what to do
But the best way to win isn't over or under it's through, through you

In the morning I bet, there might be some regret
I forget all the details sitting thinking singing in the sun
But onwards we toe, down this tightrope alone, with nothing but the scars of deeds (once) easy left undone
The bull's gonna run
The bull's gonna run
