Hiya Dmers! Hope you all like this Metal tune...heres the lyrics..
"Cracker Jack" ff44
Stock market crash it's like a race to the bottom
if you're looking for solutions the governments gotem
They'll bail out the banks and the wealthy few
Meanwhile your mortgage is overdue
You had a great job and a home and a wife
Now that seems like a whole other life
Where people cared for people like most of us
and now we're forced to throw each other under the bus
I'm gonna throw a monkey wrench into the works
A dirty little plan to get even with those jerks,
who think that profit is thicker than blood
I'm gonna put my stick into their mud
and mix it around to form a witches brew
and feed a nice portion to the realtor too
They all stick together yeah they run in a pack
The skin may be white but the heart is black.
Cracker Jack you're like a knife in the back
count all your money as you put it in a stack
Crack Jack your commission is real
everything is legal take all that you can steal
ignore the people they're all pawns in this game
If they think the banks will loan them money
they're all insane.out of the mind,think about it!
Wealthy corporate executives sit in the board rooms
and drool over their stacks of cash.
Meanwhile the poor bum on the streets,
just needs a place to crash.
they all think that profit is thicker than blood
I'm gonna put my stick into their mud
They all stick together yeah they run in a pack
The skin may be white,but the soul is black
Cracker Jack like a political hack
Its a moral sin and an ethical lack
Cracker Jack your commission is real
Its all legal take all that you can steal
ignore the people they're all pawns in this game
If they think the banks will loan them money
they're all insane. they're all insane
all insane, all insane, all insane,all insane.

Brilliant lyrics!!  I love the sense of "menace" in the vocals...very sinister-sounding! Great harmonies too. Excellent guitar work. Am I allowed to call a metal song a masterpiece? It's powerful stuff, yet a real work of art. Superb!

Whoa, I like this alot. A great heavy guitar. Great feeling and excellent lyrics. Perfectly fitting at the moment as we will be selling our souls with a mortgage this very day  I would have liked the voice a bit louder at places.
Very nice though.

Finally--a socially relevant metal tune. This is what Woody Guthrie might have done if he was a youngster living today. Seems the only sin for a king of earth is stealing from another king of earth and getting caught. But then they put the miscreant under house arrest in his own luxury penthouse. signed, Not merely  but absolutely  young man. clap:

I keep thinking about a former employee I had named Jason who would jump up and down and scream racism over the white/black/crackerjack lyrics. He was big on bending everything one said into this topic, in lieu of working...
Of course I had a job n those days.
Kinda proves the whole point of the song right on a couple different levels.
Jams are cool, works well. Except I wanna kick some ass now lol.

(+) GREAT COLLABORATION! Gene you are a very multifaceted voice guy... kind like a chameleon because you make your voice fit almost perfect on any requirement. I really liked Victor's guitar gives also the perfect tone for this song.
(-) I missed a solo part from Victor. Drums, in some parts it is too static which fortunately Victors guitar helps a lot in order to keep the rhythm more interesting.

like we talked about-only better. this is a real anthem for our times. and great collab. your two minds created a very cool piece about the greed that's become many of us as the greedier still keep buying jets and 10,000$ waste paper baskets (in the news). great song too. love the voice and the pounding loud guitar is priceless.

I am now convinced that a requirement to be a CEO is that you be alien. Totally alien! How else to explain their total disregard for anyone except themselves? You nailed it with the lyrics, Gene, and those vocals are perfect. can still play like a master of destruction, too, I'm glad to say! Outstanding work, gentlemen!

It's always interesting when two class acts work together, and this time its created a great metal track.
I originally heard this by Victors skull without the lyrics and it sounded great, but with the lyrics it brings it all together. The lyrics are perfect for the tone of the song, its fierce and making a point. The Vocals are well done with a roughness to them, the harmonies add an edge.
Amazing guitar work as usual by Victors skull. Rockin riffs.
Nicely done

I just about said...well, typed...that I really liked the lyrics, that I really enjoyed the lyrics, but this is more one of those cases wherein they speak to a situation/attitude that I DON'T like, and the reason I think they're important is that they're saying something that needs to be said, and my enjoyment stems from the manner in which it's being said.
It's kind of like when someone is giving a speech and says something along the lines of, "Every night, millions of children got to bed hungry", and the crowd applauds. No one is thinking, "Whoo hoo! Yay, child hunger!"...at least, I assume/hope they aren't...
The musicianship is, as expected, top notch, and a fitting expression of righteous indignation and a frustration so many of us share.

Loving the beat. The pulsing almost-techno, but rockier and edgier music goes really well together. Definitely a fan of the guitar here. The vocals are edgy too.
Nice job bro!!!!!!
