about
The year is 2018...but it may as well be 1984. "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." Words written in 1949 by George Orwell feel frighteningly familiar today. Alternative facts have replaced Truth.
In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932), a popular aphorism is "A gramme is better than a damn." We are being sedated (by drugs, by the internet, by television, etc) to keep us compliant and managed, to keep us from giving a damn.
The song Stop, Drop & Swallow talks about the modern day dystopia we now live in and is beautifully brought to life in the Steve Balderson-directed video.
lyrics
STOP, DROP & SWALLOW
Jane Wiedlin/Pietro Straccia
Here's something for the pain
Time to climb aboard again
Hide what is yours and follow
It's okay, stop drop and swallow
You don't really need to be a man
I don't feel the need to show my hand
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A BRIGHT YOUNG THING
I DON'T REMEMBER I DON'T REMEMBER
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BELIEVE IN ANYTHING
I DON'T REMEMBER I WONT REMEMBER
For a day of solitude
Would you promise a change in attitude
For just one dreamless night
Would you tear your clothes
And everything in sight
HIDE WHAT IS YOURS AND FOLLOW
IT'S OKAY, STOP DROP AND SWALLOW
You don't really need to be a man
I don't feel the need to show my hand
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A BRIGHT YOUNG THING
I DON'T REMEMBER I DON'T REMEMBER
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BELIEVE IN ANYTHING
I DON'T REMEMBER I CANT REMEMBER
HIDE WHAT IS YOURS AND FOLLOW
IT'S OKAY, STOP DROP AND SWALLOW
