Name: You Didn't Move Out Here To Be Treated Like Everyone Else
Duration: P00H04M15S
Description: The title of this song is something I read on a billboard on the frou-frou side of Austin, Westlake. It made me irrationally angry. I don't hold it against the rich folks on that side of town. Some of them probably thought it was offensive, too. But it was infuriating and formed the basis of the song.

about

The title of this song is something I read on a billboard on the frou-frou side of Austin, Westlake. It made me irrationally angry. I don't hold it against the rich folks on that side of town. Some of them probably thought it was offensive, too. But it was infuriating and formed the basis of the song.

lyrics

The pleasure of buying
The spreading of money
The enjoyment of all the things that paychecks can buy
Are making happy all the thousands of families

This is Total War, now.

about

Kristopher Wright Austin, Texas

Kris is too tired to write yet another biography in the third-person in an attempt to trick you guys into thinking he has a publicist or something. Just listen to the songs or don't. I don't care anymore.
