about

Stop Squawkin is the closest Stone Deep has ever come to a hardcore/metal track with its lumbering slow sections and machine-like fast sections. The lyrics, which chide the listener for endlessly complaining, take a free approach – vacillating from poetic impressionism, to plain-as-day“shut the fuck-up!” directives. Again Cartwright and Hayes run a relay race through the verses. Guitarist Glen Cummings alternates between a notched wha pedal and a talkbox creating menacing, gurgling guitar sounds. Imagine Charlie Brown’s imaginary teacher drowning – "wha, wha, wha". Local radio personality Heather Lose – from Nashville’s Lightning 100 – performs a strident diatribe against nothing in particular, during the hard-driving bridge section.

lyrics

Like birds of prey
Vultures sway
Crime don’t pay
Have a nice day

It’s getting late
I can’t concentrate
In a constant battle
Love against hate

I don’t know
Sometimes I rhyme slow
The river don’t flow
The river don’t flow

I know all this squawking bring a tear to your eye
But if you think life’s a bitch, wait till you die

chorus

Stop squawking. Bitchin all the time
Stop squawking. Bitch, What’s on your mind?
Stop squawking. Bitchin all the time
Stop squawking. You think life’s a bitch
Stop squawking. Wait till you die

Like in is out, and out is in
When will all this bullshit end?
Stop, stop, stop, stop, wait, wait, wait
I’m goin crazy, I can’t escape

Life is hectic, not respected
Moral fiber’s been rejected

If all this squawking brings tears to your eyes,
If you think life’s a bitch, wait till you die

chorus

Stop squawking. Bitchin all the time
Stop squawking. Bitch, What’s on your mind?
Stop squawking. Bitchin all the time
Stop squawking. You think life’s a bitch
Stop squawking. Wait till you die


Always bitchin, steadily bitchin cause we play our music loud
You can sicketty-suck my dick and kiss my ass. I rock the crowd

I’m the M and the A, the J-U-R, the K-U-Double T
I’m the B and the E, the E and the A, the S, the fucking T

And if you don’t like what we’re saying, then we really don’t give a fuck
If you’re gonna be pessimistic then shut them fuck up
Always squawking, always squawkin, you need to be walking on
your own two feet and never face defeat

chorus

Stop squawking. Bitchin all the time
Stop squawking. Bitch, What’s on your mind?
Stop squawking. Bitchin all the time
Stop squawking. You think life’s a bitch
Stop squawking. Wait till you die
