Praxis of Evil
by @andybalham
Liner Notes
To quote the article 'The crypto bros who dream of crowdfunding a new country', Praxis is a tech start-up that plans to create a new sovereign state somewhere on the Mediterranean coast, part of a new tech movement called 'the network state'. The idea is that these statelets, governed not by a giant state bureaucracy but on the blockchain, will eventually replace the nation state.: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyl171lyewo
Big thanks to 'Streaky' Bateman for the lead guitar work 🤘
Lyrics
We’ve got the frontier spirit The American dream We’ve got crypto millions A CEO king
Unhappy with the tax Deep state make you pay Then switch to Praxis For a better way
[Chorus] The free-market crypto-city That’s built for you Constructed with vitality And heroic virtue Heroic virtue Heroic virtue
Get onboard with tech bros Who can do no wrong Disrupting industries Complacent for too long
Take old institutions Start-up mentality Mix in AI For max efficiency
[Chorus]
It’s a brave new world Free from regulation Where entrepreneurs Seed innovation
Long on vision Short on how Ignore those doubts And switch to Praxis now!

Wow that guitar! Kicks this on so well and keeps kicking. The lyric is just... too true. Ridiculously good!

Rockin guitar. And I really like the vocal cadence in the verses. The ending - long on vision, short on how, sums it up really well.

I appreciate the punky vocal delivery here, truly befitting the lyrics. The vigorous application of the wah pedal hypes up the energy like a hard sell memecoin pitch.
