Legs of Cement – New Song!

Click here for the new Popp Over America song: “Legs of Cement”

I’m a punk rocker that’s it. The title “singer-songwriter” doesn’t fit me but I find it the best way to describe what I am doing with Popp Over America – a guy playing an acoustic guitar and singing. This song represents the direction of the album I am recording that will be released in conjunction with the completion of the trailer in August. Fast, gravelly, and unpolished. No, I don’t Auto-Tune.

This song was inspired after Jenny told me about an incident where she fell going up the stairs in a subway station and people just walked around her as she was on the ground.

You may recognize the riff as it is the tune used in the Kickstarter video.

Legs of Cement
Did I stammer
Get me a jackhammer
I’ll try to explain
As you try to not understand

Needless pins
Stab into my shins
Please don’t ask
No, I don’t want your reprimand

Cruel slippery eels
Poisoning my sea
Distilled one by one
Into potent cruelty
I’m dying in this wool
Every watt of energy spent
Won’t somebody take
These legs of cement

Stairs to the sky
Makes me question why
Did M.C. Escher
Help out with the design?

A tumble then a fall
A whimper then a call
Ignored by masses
Cattle trotting by

Jenny Subway rectangle
