Cavedwellers- When the Time Comes

lyrics and music by Escandon/Phillips

Verse 1
It's dramatic, systematic when we’re overreacting to
A new insurgence of emergency situations
You want to see the future coming at you in slow motion
Under the canopy of readiness the deadliest fears can haunt you

Chorus
You've got your gun
Be ready when the time comes
You might be the only one
Who can save the day

Verse 2
It’s automatic understand it’s gonna get underneath your skin
Internal struggle undercover gonna make it impossible to sleep
Without your courage sleeping (with you) on the other side of the pillow
Ask any boy scout, any Villa fan, it’s better to be prepared

Chorus

Bridge
Jonah's got his gun
glennnys got his glock
Gollly had an attitude
So Davey slung a rock

All I want is peace of mind
You shouldn't be so shocked
If I didn't have this piece of mine
We wouldn't have this talk

Verse 3
Well-regulated sole militia man you better not play with danger
If not explicitly forbidden, it’s permitted by definition
Conceal and carry isn’t scary if you’re one of the good ones
When others cower there’s a powerful deterrent, an itchy trigger

Chorus

This is my project. I think we started writing songs together in 1993. It’s been a while. I produced this one; man I wish it wasn’t so quiet compared to all the other entries. My apologies. I sent in a louder version this morning, not sure if it will get updated. My 1st thought for gunfire was the Konami classic Track and Field 100m dash starting pistol. We also included machine gun fire acting like a tambourine in the 1st chorus. Lee wrote the verse and chorus music, I wrote the bridge music. I wrote the chorus and bridge vocal melodies, Lee wrote the verse melodies. We both play bass, we trade guitar solos. I’m quite pleased with the end result. I hope you all dig it!

Complex and musically top tier. I like the tripped and manicy chorus as well as the gonzo leads. Good vocal work too.
