The police said that I am the enemy and they won’t leave me alone
I’m detained but they hit their quota, hope the boss throws the whole precinct a bone
This doesn’t have to be, just let me leave here and delete this scene
I’m not the one to be had, I’m the one to believe
Now they’ve read me my rights, I don’t wanna be the man I am in their photographs
Why would you lead me on? You’re so damn angry
You hate the mind I have, drives you mad, so you overthrow me
Johnny Z dared, Johnny Z cared, but
Johnny beware, they’re gonna leave their eye on you, but I know you
High at the top of corporate America was no air for me to breathe
I took a risk, changed the machine’s motors,
Ever-destined to construct a dream
Default celebrity, but your magazine cover’s not my legacy
I resigned, you attacked, high and dry, you entrapped, guess I strayed from the wolfpack, and now you’re gonna smear my name with your new photographs
Why would you lead me on? You’re so damn angry
You hate the mind I have, drives you mad, so you overthrow me
Johnny Z dared, Johnny Z cared, but
Johnny beware, they’re gonna leave their eye on you, but I know you
The jury said that I’m not the enemy, so just leave me alone
The jury said that I’m not the enemy, so just leave me alone
Why would you lead me on? You’re so damn angry
You hate the mind I have, drives you mad, so you overthrow me
Johnny Z dared, Johnny Z cared, but
Johnny beware, they’re gonna leave their eye on you, but I know you

Super dig this record, and every song on it! Badass melodic pop/punk rock music in every sense of the genre! Great instrumentation and arrangements, melodies and harmonies. Steven Neufeld

Scott and Rufio brightened a lot of dark days for me, especially during college, and this record really scratched an itch I didn't know I had when it arrived during the pandemic. A very fun covers record. Sean Comerford
Pitch-perfect math rock from Kaneohe, Hawaii charges forward on raw, ragged emotion. A treat for fans of Polvo and Pardoner. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 27, 2018
