About

“It is inspired by the history of legal tender, trade and the rise of our debt system through credit and spending beyond one’s means. The title is a double-entendre, I suppose.

Western Settlements Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A hell of a thing, hanging a man
Taking everything he has and all he'll ever have
Small irony
That man surely created me

[Verse 2]
Held by his reins 'til his last breath
These tiny spells of me
Increments of death
By the millions
Millions are being taken

[Chorus]
I am you, I am everything you own
I am you

[Verse 3]
The things we do for love, the tribes we aim to please
Entitlement and title through dues and monthly fees
Interest, interest, time
All that you risk acquired

[Verse 4]
Character, capacity
Collateral and conditioning
You said credite
I said believe in me

[Bridge]
I'm not accountable, they rush the queue alone
Competitors, predators and drones
These Western settlers, I've always warned them
Just like your granddad said, never spend what you don't have

[Chorus]
I am you, I am everything you own
I am you
I am you, I am everything you own
I am you
I am you, I am everything you own
