about

ah! late stage capitalism.

lyrics

pick another plot the private prison, the prism of a system that we live in has no limits
if the price is right, oh the price feels nice
doctors giving out addictive drugs to little kids, oxycontin, percocet, opiate
a number's all we are beneath the stripes and stars

it's a robbery in progress, they'll never get enough
diamonds in the dust we're all diamonds in the dust
stealing from an empty pocket and watching profits going up
diamonds in the dust we're all diamonds in the dust

someone sick a dog on all the hogs that clog the halls and pass the laws that keeps us slaving to our jobs
I'm 40 years away from debt I'll never pay
60 hours a working week with hurtin feet a window seat commute to keep the email chain up certainly
Still it's not enough for hunger or for trust

it's a robbery in progress, they'll never get enough
diamonds in the dust we're all diamonds in the dust
stealing from an empty pocket and watching profits going up
diamonds in the dust we're all diamonds in the dust

about

Cranston Dean Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey

If you’ve never heard Cranston Dean perform before, you’re robbing yourself of an amazing experience. Dean’s voice takes you back to a time when the singer/songwriter played the bars of Asbury during the heydays of The Circuit, and blew people’s minds with their lyrical poetry.
