Circus Metal: "Radical Ron" by Tidwell's Treasure

So in my last #introduceyourself post, I mentioned I am involved in a "circus metal" band called Tidwell's Treasure and @armadilloman asked what exactly "circus metal" is.

Well, it can really only be heard. It's the sound of three guys -- and occasionally, a globe-trotting saxophonist named Emily -- who have known each other since they were all punk kids with way too many inside jokes and a history of hell-raising throughout multiple neighborhoods.

"Radical Ron" is basically about Clark Kent going rogue, leaving the Daily Planet to go work at CNN, selling out to the NWO. Along comes Radical Ron, and the two go to war! Radical Ron realizes a little late in the game that Clark Kent is also Superman. Uh oh. It's on!

Listen here (and dude, don't ask me why it was mis-labeled by my distributor as "Radican Ron" lol):

Lyrics:
Radical Ron went to war with Clark Kent
'Cause C-c-clark K-k-kent left the Planet for CNN
The daily planet, the nightly moons, the morning star, gimme some truth
No truth, no love -- no love, no truth -- if we don't have those, then what do we do?

Radical Ron!

Turns out Clark Kent is not just Clark Kent, he's Superman!
You know we're all so fucked when the nuke gets into the wrong hands!
CNN? Sold to the highest bidder! Government? Sold too!
And so are you, and so are you -- we've got to get back!

Radical Ron!

The Kryptonian struck the first blow -- naturally.
The Radical absorbed it into his soul -- turned the other cheek
The economy started going sour, I guess we all might need a job
Yes, I recall being in the womb -- money was on my mind, not love...

Radical!
