Luck Is The Son Of The Devil (In The Mind Of Madness) 04:47
lyrics
buy track
INTRO I am fucking hippocrisis I'm so weird and I'm so uncool I'll play the show and I'll be your fool I'll play a short set and I'll play for free Watch me play and make fun of me Hey I'm Tom and I gotta fucking say Mental health is really important to me You are loved and if you need help You still matter and let's be friends! I am fucking hippocrisis Hey ya, let's be fucking friends I am fucking hippocrisis LUCK IS THE SON OF THE DEVIL The world’s distraught and swallowing itself The sky a dark red spitting flames and brimstone Ocean is charred with remnants of the kelp The trees sprinting to find a new home Raining metal chards, monsters eating eyeballs Children screaming hysterically, where is my mom? A black galloping smoke rises from shopping malls Taking the land back once and for all, so eat this bomb  Ghost figures riding black stallions Crows gathering in the thousands Chains whipping the bare human flesh Confiding in death- that’s all that’s left The ghosts dismount from their mares A swift soft wind blows through their hair They hold up a bomb with a grin on their skull An end to the madness, this life so fucking dull  All as one- We fight to take our earth back Load up on nukes and let the dogs loose All as one- We fight to take our earth back Children get your guns! This revolution just begun  But the horsemen laugh as they mock our attack and say Hey parents, nice try- save your children before they die We huddle up and plot, rapid fire. We almost got them! Hey children, nice try- save your parents before they fry Let’s try one last time before they enslave mankind We send them mustard gas We send an areal attack We send the army of bullets That they’ll never forget They screamed slowly dying Painful but gratifying Their evil-we repelled! We sent them back to hell

Sharing pokemon cards at the bus stop Skateboarding in your empty parking lots That final bell rings an hour away Chugging aftershock in your parents den I swear I'll never touch that stuff again Eric's house is just a couple blocks away Don't wanna adult I don't wanna be an adult today I got a mortgage, grey hair and feeling drained The pressure of my life driving me insane But I know the hospitals a mile away Getting in my car to go to work at night But it's so much better than the morning light You know Quitting time is just an hour away Don't wanna adult I Don't wanna be an adult today

I got my sunshine I feel fine today Until I see the news of sexual abuse And excess procreating Who's to blame: the ignorance Media or music? Education teaches abstinence not safe sex But what is being chosen? Who do you love your kids or your drugs? How can your child look at you And accept you're a whore It doesn't matter to you, It appears pregnancy is the cool thing to do Yeah, it's the cool thing to do See her on the screen and on the front of magazines Fighting for a binge and a cleaner syringe While fighting to own her children Who do you love your kids or your drugs? No one fucking cares

about

Alright Hippofanz, I did it. By that I mean I made a CD that's almost an hour long. I guess I could have used one more grindcore song about more silly shit. Whatever, maybe next time.
Hungry For Hardcore is pretty much an assortment of things that I have been through since the release of my last CD "Yellin' About Something" which came out March 11, 2022. Since the release of that, I have been through a lot. You can tell that I have several songs about work, hating work, getting a new job, hating that job, and quitting. I have songs about mental illness (as is Hippocrisis custom), friendships, support, some political things, a song about the light of my life (Caitlin (my wife)), I have a song about being a homeowner (wtf). I cover lots of topics in this CD with things that are very important to me.
I also have three cover songs in there that I think are totally kickass. I hope I don't get sued by Lizzo or the makers of "Taste The Biscuit" but I woke up with those songs stuck in my head and decided to give it a shot. Get off my back, geez.
I'm proud of this, way more proud than most things that I have released in my musical career. I used more piano, a banjo, had a rad friend lay down some sax, while maintaining that classic Hippocrisis edge. Sorry I don't have any poppy sing along songs (no songs about Ron this time), but there are plenty of tunes to scream along with.
I appreciate all the support I have received over the years, it means so much to me that people believe in me. Shit, they may believe in me more than I believe in myself. I love you all, make sure you check me out on the social medias (@hippocrisis on IG, facebook.com/tdominco on FB) and look at all the stupid things I do. The hippoman appreciates ya'll, let's fuck shit up. As Rancid would say:
"See ya in the pit!"

credits

released April 1, 2023

Thanks to Roger McMullan for the album artwork, thanks to Lizzo and Vincent Gargiulo for making a song that I can kind of make my own, thanks to John Zouharis for laying down some sweet sax on "Slave."
Thanks to my wife Caitlin Giancola for being the best human being in the world. She also got me a microphone so I don't have to record my music on my smart phone. I love you so much and you better figure out what you want for dinner.
Thanks to James Berbert for convincing me to never give up on music. There were many years where I devoted most of my time on my career but I still felt a void in my soul. He reminded me that I'm a hell of a bassist and songwriter, James is the one that pushed me back into music after collecting dust for a few years.
Thanks to Dan Kosmin for making me take this band more seriously. I made music that nobody really cared for and I was feeling very discouraged. On my way to Montreal for a music festival, he sends me a text telling me that he got me my first show. I asked if it would be a good idea to just be a bassist up on stage, he replies "It's 2019, you can do whatever you want." Thanks for listening to my shitty music, Dan. If you didn't believe in me, then I would be doing nothing with my free time but playing Animal Crossing or Madden 22
Thanks to Derrick Hill for showing me the ways of Audacity. Hope you're doing well my friend.
Thanks to band manager Ron Rucci Jr for being such a great friend. You have been putting up with my bullshit for the past 10 years and your friendship really means a lot to me. That's why they call us "The Hard Guys" because the music I make goes fucking HARD. Punch meat yet?
Thanks to Paul Basile for giving me lots of opportunities to get my music out there. The Worcester punk scene would be way more uneventful if you weren't around. You have introduced me to so many different bands/people that are all amazing and somehow dig what I've been doing which is encouraging.
Thanks for packing your own fucking bags when you go to a grocery store. Don't just stand there, DO SOMETHING
Thanks to my parents (who straight up HATE my music) for encouraging me to pursue my passion in music. In fact it was my mother that used to say, "Don't just stand there, do something!" Ya'll are the best and wisest people I've ever known and I love you both very much.
My brother Mark taught me how to play bass when I was 12 so I gotta thank my brother too! Let's do some crucible sometime, bro.
Thanks to YOU for listening. Yes, YOOOOUUUUU (in Soulja Boy voice). Stay tuned for more tunes in the future! It may take awhile, I'm kinda spent after writing and recording 24 songs. All of the support means a lot to me, I love you all.
