Mr Politician
the brave have stayed inside today, it’s likely they’ve said goodbye.
they’d rather burn in hell than smell your rotten lies.
hey! mister politician!
you’ve got an admission to make
hey! I ain’t no mortician,
but you can bet you’re digging your grave.
couple hundred years, flush ‘em down the drain
but you’d just rather keep it the same;
you can’t have your way…
i’ve got this sneaking suspicion you can’t take the time to listen,
which isn’t really a surprise to me.
with all the bullshit that’s flowing
i can’t tell if there’s knowing,
but in this moment your face is showing,
i can see. it’s a convoluted time, but i’m making it mine…

but you’d just rather keep it the same;
you can’t have your way…
you’re changing all the rules as you play the game,
and takin’ one percent of the blame; you can’t have your way…

thatwasthen wins Best Band at UCLA Spring Sing 2010
On May 14th, 2010, Southern California Rock Band thatwasthen won ‘Best Band’ at UCLA‘s annual Spring Sing.
Spanning the course of over 60 years of tradition, Spring Sing is one of the oldest traditions among the Bruins. Since the end of World War II, the school has honored the talents of their student body with an annual contest. Judged both by audience vote and celebrity guest judges, this contest is one of the most popular events on campus.
Competing against several other UCLA based bands, thatwasthen swept the competition with a knock out performance of “Mr. Politician.” Here are a few behind the scenes photos. As soon as the footage from the show becomes available, you can expect to see it here. Thank you to everyone involved in Spring Sing 2010, as it was an amazing success.
