Whole Hog
by @stewdean
Liner Notes
Time to go back to my Alt-rock roots.
What happens when you follow the buzz? What if you can't get enough, and instead of turning off your impulses, you let them drive you and ignore all consequences, or are above them? The answer is you get stuck on the hedonic treadmill and others pay for your 'freedom'. This is in response to recent events.
This was produced like a Royal Blood song - one bass guitar (no other guitars were used), a drum track (Logic X indie rock drummer with a lot of editing) and the usual AI vocal swap. I had a lot of issues with this song and ended up restructuring the verses to be half the length and editing the results in a coffee shop!
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Don't understand the way you feel. How do you know all this is real? Beyond the trees, beyond the sky, Beyond my world, beyond my eye,
I mean, yeah, but hey, so what? How many followers you got. What I don't know, cannot hurt, I'm not digging through your dirt.
[pre-chorus] Chasing the rush, On the hedonic treadmill.
[Chorus] Yeah we like it, Why don't you like it? Why not? Why not? And we like it Why don't you like it? Why not? Why not?
[verse 2] And we talk in monologue, No reason not to go whole hog, See no signs, no ticking clocks, I place you in my lazy box,
Oh I love to watch it burn, The more destruction, the more I earn, And no animal will stop the man, We're never changing out this plan,
[pre-chorus] Chasing the feeling, On The hedonic treadmill.
[Chorus] Yeah we like it, Why don't you like it? Why not? Why not? And we like it Why don't you like it? Why not? Why not?
[Bridge] And the buzz I get. There's nothing like it, there's nothing like it! We'll all head to Mars When we've run out of planet!
[Chorus] Yeah we like it, Why don't you like it? Why not? Why not? And we like it Why don't you like it? Why not? Why not?
[Chorus] Yeah we like it, Why don't you like it? Why not? Why not? And we like it Why don't you like it? Why not? Why not?
[outro] [Spoken] That completes the test.

This rips! Very cool tune. It rips and it bites. It mauls. The hog is whole.
