COLD MANSIONS 

Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXSLuzcnOwM

The feeling I had after watching the George Floyd video can only be describe one way - FUCKING ANGER. 

Angry that a life was unnecessarily taken, Angry at the arrogance and ignorance of a police officer, Angry at the lack of sympathy from a department who pledged to server and “Protect”. I know someone who applied for the Pennsylvania State Police and was denied after training because she couldn’t jump 14” high. She passed every task asked of her except, that one. It seems like the prerequisites could be adjust a bit. Instead of proving how high you can jump maybe include proof of concern for human life. 

This song is not about George’s tragic death, it’s about assholes like Derek Chauvinis. People with decision making power who think they are somehow better than the people they serve. 

This song is an invitation to be human 

This song invites anyone in any high power position, to come out of your home. To put your political associations aside and stand up for what’s right. Stand with the people that you serve not against them. 

Song Art and Lyrics Below:

Cold Mansions 

Making my way to south of James Street 
Taking my fight to other side 
Too many midnight candlight vigils 
It sure feels like Genocide 

I don’t want to live like this 
I’m not part of this 
I’m not with the crowd your in 
But you you pulled in 

Ooooooh I think we’ve had enough 
Ooooooh Don’t you feel any love 

IS  IT  COLD UP THERE IN YOUR MANSION 
WHY DON’T YOU COME DOWN HERE STAND NEXT TO ME 
TELL   ME   IS  IT  COLD IN YOUR MANSION 
WHY DON’T YOU COME DOWN HERE STAND WITH ME 

Look what you’ve started a revolution 
Look at these names I should never know 
Thinkin you’re part of a smart solution 
Arent you the one that says no means no 

(solo) 
(chorus) 

Oooooooh
