lyrics

Three reporters on the scene
Writing for the wires, newspapers and magazines
Two checking facts, and one brandishing the axe
For a hit job that was ordered from on high

Twelve old men on the board
Decide which meddlers will be quietly destroyed
Sometimes the job is not so clean
So they call in the big machine
To manufacture mass hysteria,
Panic, and outrage

You can ignore that drone,
But then you're on your own.
Oh, how they scandalize
When you call out their lies.

When the legend becomes the truth, print the legend.
When the legend becomes the truth, print the legend.
They drill that mantra in your head...print the legend.
And you'll believe the legend soon enough yourself...

about

The Stranger Louisville, Kentucky

This project originally began as a flood of songs I wrote in the mid-Aughts. That was soon followed by experimentation with guitar tunings, out-there fuzzboxes, &c. I decided to put some drums to this and make it a duo, and The Disclosure was born... and then The Disclosure changed its name to The Stranger, thanks to that other band Disclosure loved by Pitchfork (good for them).

Enjoy the rock.
