I grew up in Henry County, South of ATL which I warmly regard as the screendoor to hell, so before I could drive I started planning my escape
I got myself a guitar at the age of 13, I was gonna be the biggest thing my hometown had seen and all those stupid rock n roll cliches
But as time goes by it’s certain, that certain things will change
And you can spend your whole life working, to try and stay the same
But plan on doing doubles ‘til you die, at that diner in LaGrange
So I made it through college by the skin of my teeth, but it wasn’t because of grades but the bourbon and weed, Athens, Georgia you were one hell of a home to me
And I recorded a record, then we loaded the van but the last thing the world needed was another punk-rock band, so I spent the next five years barely getting by
But as time goes by it’s certain, that certain things will change
And you can spend your whole life working, to try and stay the same
But plan on doing doubles ‘til you die, at that diner in LaGrange
Well as time goes by you know certain things change, it’ll sneak up on you and then your life’s rearranged, I’ve seen marriages, divorces, babies, and divorces
A life on the road can make the world feel wrong, you can only pretend to be eighteen for so long, and I think you know how this one ends
But as time goes by it’s certain, that certain things will change
And you can spend your whole life working, to try and stay the same
But plan on doing doubles ‘til you die, at that diner in LaGrange
So here I stand in front of you today, and I’d like to think that I did okay, I just lost my band, my innocence, and my mind
But I’ll keep on pretending I’ve got it all figured out, and I’ll sing with such passion and I’ll leave no doubt, you just gotta believe me when I say...
But as time goes by it’s certain, that certain people change
And you can spend your whole life working, to try and fight that change
But plan on doing doubles ‘til you die, at that diner in LaGrange

Hey where are you going now with your face so full of fear?
I just want to say Hello, but you won't let me near
It sure gets lonely in this wilderness alone
When all I've got's my freedom and these pines to call my home
I didn't ask for this attention, you made a devil out of me
And I'm sorry if this confession kills my notoriety
There was a girl who lived in a cabin by a creek
I watched her in the day and through her window when she'd sleep
I finally got the nerve to make my presence known
I've never seen such terror as her green eyes showed
And then the stories started swirling as the battle lines were set
Well if a devil's what you want, by God, a devil is what you'll get
I didn't ask for this attention, I'm just a little misunderstood
And not believing all that you read could do some of you people good
They'll probably come for me and put me on the run
For all the sins and killing that they say I've done
But just remember when the bullet hits my spine
You made the myth of me, and myths don't ever die
Was it so wrong of me to want love like everybody else?
Sometimes the thought of dying ain't as bad as living with myself
Sometimes the thought of dying ain't as bad as living with myself

All You Need Is Love

It's the opening scene of a Hollywood war
And it goes down exactly the same as before
They get you to fear then they get you to fight
They wink and they smile and distort what is right
While our youth come home in a pine, satin box
Serenaded with 21 shots
And you fight for your country then what do you get?
A medal, a flag, and a wage
Then you're tossed to the side like a used cigarette
To save those who cannot be saved
All you need is love
And it's a cruel, cruel world that'll take a young man
And expose him to things he can't quite comprehend
But a diet of pills helps to cope with the pain
And balance his mind from going insane
From fighting the demons of a President's war....
And how long will we allow our lives to be used
Like pawns for political gain
While change will continue to be just a word
Until we all stand and sing
All you need is love
Now I can't believe that this was part of the plan
It's a motive that I just won't comprehend
You used our trust like a two-dollar fraud
You used our God and you used their God
So damn your truth, it was greed in disguise
And your selfishness and bloodlust will be your demise
And I want to sing out with conviction and pride
That one day we'll all be okay
But it's so hard to fake what you just don't believe
So I learn to play the game
All you still need is love

Pinstripes

Well they bombed you in the borough, back in 1952
And when a nation lost control we turned our lonely eyes to you
And you taught us how to feel like, the luckiest men on earth
Loving you's what we're taught to do from the moment of our birth
Oh tonight, oh tonight I'm gonna call my own shot
I'm gonna give this city of lights everything I've got
Whoa tonight, gonna see how much fight I've left in me
And I ain't going down without one last swing
Because when the world comes down on you
There's only one thing you can do
Oh tonight I'm gonna put my faith in Pinstripes
They say the ghosts they made it, they crossed the street into the park
And they're watching us like angels as The Captain leads the charge
And The Creatures come from the shadows, and call out to the night
And when The Voice of God reigns down it brings a city back to life
Oh tonight, oh tonight I'm gonna call my own shot
I'm gonna give this city of lights everything I've got
Whoa tonight, gonna see how much fight I've left in me
And I ain't going down without one last swing
Because when the world comes down on you
There's only one thing you can do
Oh tonight I'm gonna put my faith in Pinstripes
Oh tonight I'm gonna put my faith in Pinstripes
Nobody lives forever, but some things never die
Like when the trumpet cries to Ol Blue Eyes
Or that fence up in the sky
Oh tonight, oh tonight I'm gonna call my own shot
I'm gonna give this city of lights everything I've got
Whoa tonight, gonna see how much fight I've left in me
And I ain't going down without one last swing
Because when the world gives up on you
There's only one thing you can do
Oh tonight I'm gonna put my faith in Pinstripes
Oh tonight I'm gonna put my faith in Pinstripes
Oh tonight I'm gonna put my faith in...

Autumn Breeze

I can feel that Autumn Breeze blowing in from Tennessee
And it soaks my nights in whiskey dreams
Oh cruel wind just speak to me
I’ve got time and nothing to do so the devil’s got my hands and my wallet too but I’m trying to stay clean
But there ain’t no work around and my bills are stacked so I became a cook and my kitchen’s out back for methamphetamine
Because I’m tired of my stomach talking louder than me, telling secrets I can’t keep
I’m just trying to find some sanity
I can feel that Autumn Breeze blowing in from Tennessee
And it soaks my nights in whiskey dreams
Oh cruel wind just speak to me
Well it ain’t moonshine but it pays the rent, now if I can just remember where my conscience went because it haunts me when I sleep
I wouldn’t touch that shit with a ten foot pole because it shakes your hand as it takes your soul to depths you won’t believe
And I’m tired of my stomach talking louder than me, telling secrets I can’t keep
I’m just trying to find some sanity
I can feel that Autumn Breeze blowing in from Tennessee
And it soaks my nights in whiskey dreams
Oh cruel wind just speak to me

Loners Society Charleston, South Carolina
Loners Society is the brain-child of Unusual Suspects and County Line Strangers’ primary songwriter/singer, Matt Megrue. While both of Megrue’s previous projects primarily emphasized their collective punk/country upbringings, the new EP from Loners Society takes that same honesty and sprinkles in a little bit of soul in what Megrue describes as, “southern-fried, indie rock and roll." ... more
