about

They want to shut you up.
They don't want your opinion.
They have a ready-made truth, right in their pocket.
And they throw it in your face as soon as you try to speak.

lyrics

Truth in the pocket

Verse:
We swim in their sea of fallacies
We sign with blood their policies
They show us the inner qualities
Of their agreement

They’re good to fake integrity
And to design an enemy
Just to divert the heresy
Of thinking people

Chorus:
They just tell you what to do
What is bad and what is good
Logic doesn’t matter
They have something better
Forcing words on you
Truth in the pocket

Verse:
The jackpot is getting bigger
But no-one is the winner
And It’s just smoke and mirrors
For your existence

And when your life is branded
And you take it for granted
The dreams have been implanted
Just to replace yours

Chorus:
They just tell you what to do
What is bad and what is good
Logic doesn’t matter
They have something better
Forcing words on you
Truth in the pocket

Bridge:
Nothing is greater,
Nothing is of more importance
than to find,
amidst the errors and darkness of this life,
a shining Truth.
Truth is the intellectual wealth of the world,
sword and shield,
the sacred light of the soul.

How is truth to be known?

Chorus:
They just tell you what to do
What is bad and what is good
Logic doesn’t matter
They have something better
Forcing words on you
Truth in the pocket

about

Highspeeddirt Milano, Italy

Formed in 2001, after years playing live covers of the biggest hard rock bands, we finally started recording own songs.
'Playing Hard', was published 2012.
After 4 years, 3 marriages and a total of 7 sons from the 4 band members, our passion for music made us win laziness and find the time to write and record our new EP. Definitely more fecund than musically prolific ;-) But we don’t give up! ... more
