lyrics

Little boys think it's their birthright
Little boys think they deserve more than they got
Little boys always so demanding
They’re the only ones
that the world owes anything
But little boys have had their shot

We’ve heard it all before
You can go your own way
As long as it's towards the door

Little boys want you to know that they're big and bad
Little boys need you to think that they're tough
Little boys, what are you compensating for?
When you're not that smart
And you got no talent
Gotta find a way to make people think you measure up

...

(They) don't realize yet
but their time is up
Now get every one of them
up against the wall
and make it rough

Little boys whining that things used to be better
Little boys moaning about their plight
Little boys stinking of desperation
So much dress-up, posing
and punching down
We’re on to you, little boys
We've got you dead to rights

about

The Landed Gentry Madison, Wisconsin

Our first album, "What They Want," is protest music for the Trump era. We cover a lot of ground genre-wise, but the songs are tied together by a melodic pop sensibility and a 90s rock influence.

"What They Want" was written, recorded, and self-produced in a basement near Madison between Nov 2016 and Jun 2018.
