is it too much to ask? is it too much to ask? to put down your gun, and take off your mask is it too much to ask? is it too much to ask? sing it is it too much to ask? to stick out your hand and open your flask is it too much to ask? is it too much to ask? the ship is sinking fast but, old clearwater just around the bend is it too much to ask? God said to build an ark and everybody laughed the water rose the people froze and that’s all they said about that R: is it too much to ask to give a man some bread? if you ignore his soul for a long long time he’ll put a bullet in your head i said Noah built an ark he sailed it on the flood Moses had a swarm of locust and a river of blood that’s right R: is it too much to ask to let one live in peace? you can move his border a thousand times he’ll never get relief cause you know we stole his land with a manifested lie but as soon as he wants to share that dream you wanna cage him til he dies

Talking Meme 03:33
1. well if you wanna be cool let me tell you what to get you gotta make yourself a meme and put on the internet you gotta take a lil picture and add a stupid phrase spell it all wrong its the latest craze no grammar, spelt wrong too almost an anti-english exercise! go figure 2. so you get you a photo of clinton or trump and you edit there mouth out and add in a rump talk about an ass-kisser missed his sister face like a blister that’s donny 3. and if the right kinda people start sharing your meme it’ll travel much farther and get more mean and people will take it and make it offensive and it’ll put your twitter on the defensive you’ll get a bad rap you’ll wanna take a nap how come all these people care so much about a jay peg? care-actor-ass-ass-in-nation! 4. so i took my meme and i put it online to see who’d scoff and who would whine it said “SOCIALIST. it said “PROLIFE” it said “SANDERS” and people scoffed and people laughed some said communist and some said “bad” high tide in old america the political process so democratic everyone allowed to insult those they don’t agree with, equally it’s progress! 5. and when a racist word was lodged the moderator was quick to dodge it escalated into a contradiction that was half history and half fiction hundreds of comments with incorrect diction revisionist historians… some racist phrases with human faces… aliens and hitler… reptiles and antiquated societies a debate concerning the true symbolism of the confederate flag …. you know business as usual in 2016 6. so i decided to delete my meme but it was late by far, it was in the stream millions of people had shared that file it was screaming down a river much bigger than the nile sander’s face with a couple words proved much louder than what is heard so if you wanna say something that’s gonna be seen put it in a goddam meme it’s the damn screens everyone’s staring at em no one gives a damn until it comes up on their phone i see you, alexander graham bell!

J.T. Makoviecki Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I've been making music since I could sing to James Brown and Phil Collins as a 3 year old. Ever since I've recorded however possible: tape deck, 8track, MacBook, etc. I use raw recording techniques and low-fi equipment to make music with my friends.

enjoy.
