Rust Revival Protest – Elephant in the Ink Room

Elon’s Future

Posted on by

The most likely outcome is that AI and robots make everyone wealthy. In fact, far wealthier than the richest person on Earth

We started out as friends just jamming into the night. One song — Purpleman’s Rhythm — took off, written as a thank-you to our friend, The Purpleman, for standing strong in a divided world. Today, everything feels split between Woke and MAGA. But the future isn’t at the edges — it’s in the middle. Because sanity is compromise… and compromise is strength. We had fun, we tried different takes, cause everyone see’s life a little differently.

We Are the Middle

The Purplemen Are Watchin

Dirge – The Purplemen Are Watchin

Dirge – A collection of dark soul-blues laments built on Hammond organ, slow hand-claps, and choral call-and-response. The “Purpleman” songs speak from the quiet middle—no sermon, no slogan—just the steady rhythm of conscience beneath the noise.

Dirge – Humvees Roll

Dirge – When the Purple Comes

Dirge – Purpleman’s rhythm

Dirge – We Are the Middle

Dirge – Purpleman Whispers

Dirge – Echo of the Center

War-Torn Portland Oregon

Our Cities under attack from our President Wanna Be. People in our cities, your cities, your states are going to get hurt, some may even die because of one sick old man that is out of control. These are harsh words, but they are also true. He wants complete power, he wants all of our freedom, we must bend a knee to his Majesty. I for one, am fighting back the only way I can. But I am fighting. What are you doing?

When The Humvees Roll (Original Version)

Humvees In Seattle

Humvees In Portland

Dirge – Purplemans Shadow

Sirens are wailing, the night won’t rest,
Purpleman’s rhythm pounding in my chest.
Chains are rattling, the streets still burn,
Truth is a lesson they don’t want to learn.

Purplemans Shadow – Rust Revival

Footsteps fade where the fire once burned,
Streets lie silent, but the tide has turned.
Purpleman lingers in the cold night air,
A whisper, a warning — he’s still there.

Purpleman’s Boogie Shuffle – Rust Revival

Leaders spin lies like a busted-down reel,
Purpleman grins, makes ’em all feel the wheel.
Blue tears floodin’, red flames roarin’ wild,
He jumps the fence with a devilish smile.
Broken dreams twist into a jumpin’ jive,
Screamin’ for justice, keepin’ hope alive!

Purpleman Whispers – Rust Revival

Sirens are wailing, the night won’t rest,
Purpleman’s rhythm pounding in my chest.
Chains are rattling, the streets still burn,
Truth is a lesson they don’t want to learn

Echo of the Center – Rust Revival

Echoes in the alley, where the fringes fray,
Purpleman’s gaze cuts through the gray.
Far left’s venom twists the hope to chains,
Far right’s fire brands the innocent with pain.

Purpleman’s Rhythm – Rust Revival

Power in the people, rising from the ground,
Purpleman’s rhythm shaking all around.
No more hiding, no more chains,
We’re the fire running through the veins.

When The Humvees Roll

And the Humvees roll,
Through the towns we know,
With a rattle in the ground and a fear that grows.
Yeah, the Humvees roll,
Hearts turn cold,
You can hear the silence break when the Humvees roll.

Vote for the Devil Blues

I went down to the ballot, my heart heavy as lead
Promised me heaven, but all I got was dread
He smiled so sweet, shook my hand with a grin
But I found out later, he’d been lying all along again

Unchain

Unchain my vote, Donald let me be,
You don’t care a thing about democracy.
You lied and you schemed, you played us for fools,
But truth is breaking through, we’re done with your rules.

The Faith is Gone

The faith is gone, it’s gone away from me
Yeah, the faith is gone, gone away from me
You fooled a nation once, but now we finally see
The faith is gone for good, gone for good

Shadows On The Land

Red lines and blue lines, cutting through the sand,
Voices shouting, no one seems to understand.
Neighbors turning cold, friends turning away,
A house once whole now split in shades of gray.

The Great Pretender

Oh yes, I’m the great pretender,
Claiming I’ve won when I’ve lost,
Bragging with pride,
And always I hide,
The truth that would show what it cost.

Broken Promises Blues

You said you’d fix it, baby, make it right,
But every single promise fades into the night.
You smiled and you shouted, told us what we crave,
But left us all stranded, in the shadows of your wave.

At Long Last

I’ve been fooled by silver promises,
Watched ‘em rust in the pourin’ rain.
But the night don’t last forever,
And the morning don’t feel the same.

Ashes to Fire

Smoke in the streets, lies in the air,
Leaders deceiving without a care.
Chains of corruption wrapped around our minds,
Shadows grow longer as truth unwinds.

Hit The Road

You said you’d drain the swamp, but you filled it instead,
With cronies and felons and folks who misled.
You tried to steal elections, you broke the people’s trust,
Now the gavel’s coming down — justice is a must!
