lyrics

Said you’d draw
a line in the sand
Steel yourself
and take a stand

‘cause it’s one thing to look away every
now and then
But what if it’s never safe
to look back again?

We all keep something hid
But you don’t seem to care
like you said you did

Now one thing is for certain
At last we’ve seen
behind the curtain

‘cause it’s one thing to testify and
Scream and shout
But now you’ve shown
What you’re really about

Once we pushed past
the sound and fury
When that light flicked on
we watched the roaches scurry

Don’t ever talk to me
about it again
Don’t bother to
tell me what you think
You dropped your
supposed convictions
like they were on fire
In the space of a blink

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.
