its real as hell about obama trying to take our rights and shit lmao

you can
take my guns and my women
strip me of my religion
ship my job off to china
shit all over carolina
pump me full of medication
tell me lies about 9/11

obama can take my rights
but he cant take my right to chug

drinking bud before i wake up
whiskey in the welfare office
tell my girl ill never fail her
while sipping moonshine in her trailer

prayers

pill friends

song 65 is another from ryan/pill friends. this time called ‘prayers’. it’s a demo (tape recorded - as is important later) with just acoustic guitar and vocals. i’m excited to see where it goes and i hope he does something with it for a new pill friends release/one off thing even. it’d be great with cello or something but it also stands alone really well with just guitar. it doesn’t lose any of ryan’s nihilistic charm but it also doesn’t lose any of his pop sensibility - this is probably one of the catchiest songs i’ve heard from him.

the ending, he said, turned out how it did because his tape player started dying while recording, but i think it sounds awesome and adds that layer of strange, dissonant darkness that ryan’s songs so often collect one way or another.

‘you know i’ll let you down’
