John Wayne 05:54
What do you take me for? A cowboy? Well, you should Seen me in the movies? Yeah, figured you would What happened to our values? The quiet men? What used to be America Is a fuckin' soy boy pig pen Well Marion Morrison is dead And get this through your head I sleep just fine in my bed What do you take me for? A clown? Well good 'Cause under all this makeup you probably should Yeah, I put on a name and a face Just to make 'em smile But unlike my case They ain't going to trial At least 33 are dead And get this through your head I sleep just fine in my bed

Hunger Art 05:13
He hung taxidermic flies from the ceiling She taped mosquitos to the wall He thinks of their feelings But her, not at all He found himself unable to stop In his thoughts conflicted But he always indulged And afterwards felt sickish Together they walked the bypass And licked each others wounds She could stop if she wanted But largely felt impartial She used to be haunted too In her own living hell He was afraid to look in She already had been His tears brought arousal And her smirk, their friends Together they walked the bypass And licked each others wounds

An old man lived across from me Older, grumpy, with a droopy bulldog face Which was fitting, because he had one A bulldog that is Who, by all accounts, was just as old as him And anytime I passed him in the hall There he was, sitting there with his bulldog It was as if each of them were waiting to start the conversion Other times, they were just aimlessly staring off in different directions But more often than not, he was berating it Physically, mentally But when you looked in each of their eyes You couldn’t tell a difference You make me want to be here

I don’t wanna hear it I don’t wanna feel it I don’t think I can heal it Do you wanna close the blinds, i said I don’t wanna hear it anymore I don’t wanna know it I don’t wanna show it I’m tired and I don’t think I can go it Can you please shut the blinds, I said I don’t wanna hear it anymore Please I can’t do it anymore Please, oh please Anymore I haven’t seen the sun in 21 days Save for the four that I had off I don’t remember what my voice sounds like No one here asks how I am No one asks my name My back hurts from bending and stretching and reach and stretching I can’t feel my feet anymore, not that I’d want to Where has the sun gone, why is the moon out? Please, I can’t do it anymore Bending, stretching, and twisting I can’t Please, I can’t Please

I’m having a bad week I put my trust in you I wasn’t wrong to feel that way It was all untrue I wanna go away I wanna call my mom She’s pissed at me I did nothing wrong I want you to see What it means to me To take me in your arms And breathe me back to life And I’m feeling quite alone Never quite at home I’m just having a time Just getting off and getting by Never again Never again Never again and again and again and again Never again Never again Never again and again and again and again

I noticed during my four o'clock shift Running the same numbers over and over Even during the dinner rush I knew something was up But all my training told me to ignore it So I went outside Took out my phone Scrolled through coffee, swimsuits, and scones And that's when it hit me, all at once All I lost, all I couldn't keep My sound system, my Jeep I called my bank, I needed help They put me on hold Pulp played, crackled and compressed I want to be a common person too Finally somebody answered And I asked for help They just laughed and said Welcome to hell Lay your life down to protect your account Kill your friends, sell yourself He wanted to beg He wanted to plead He fell to his knees desperately Then he got up, ran to the river And jumped in without any hesitation

Work Song 07:56
Drinking yesterday's coffee on an empty stomach Trying to kick start some energy It's the weather It's just that time It's my mother's genes For some reason I think of her crying And I wish I could make it better But it's work, it's just work It's work, it's just work Suddenly there's a break in the clouds It's not enough to see the sun But it's nice to think about Future gaps in the grey Because it's not always this way It's just work It's work, it's work, it's work It's just work I asked you what happened to your face You said it was lipstick and an earthquake I said I can see your body shake and your history of scars and iron tastes You said it was a spider That crawled out from the ocean Preyed on your arachnophobia And bit you on the cheek right here right here I'm tired I've always been tired I'll probably always be tired But it's okay I'm fine You know me I get by I'm tired I've always been tired I'll always be tired But it's okay No really, it's fine You know me I get by

about

Adorning the cover of Six Flags Guy’s debut album, And Nothing Did So What, is a warehouse on fire. Some stumble over to watch with passive amusement before wandering off unphased. Over eight tracks, the Ohio post-rock band captures this disparate tone, one that contains cataclysm within numbness and feigned apathy. From the noisy opener “John Wayne” to the exhausted aggression of “RJ Dreams of a Blackwater Mercenary Contract” to the final explosion of emotion on the epic closer “Work Song,” Six Flags Guy comes through with a project writhe with frustration, wild dynamics, and much-needed catharsis. And Nothing Did So What is the sound of a band with something to say, an impressive first showing from newcomers on the rise.

"The album’s eight songs wander through smoky, dingy soundscapes unmoored from recognizable structure, with subtle vocals and guitar work both ready to launch into a frenzy of noise at any given moment... Every song on And Nothing Did So What feels like a journey" -- Rosy Overdrive

"Not sure how to describe Six Flags Guy but they're sick" -- Local show flyer

"john wayne rips" -- RYM user dietz
