Staring faces lyrics were written by our Bass player about how Gov spies on certain groups of people who were against Gov overreach. FBI agents listening to conversations through walls, which had to do with war at the time & drug smuggling. Also certain
groups that were extremely hateful of the Gov at the time. It's interesting to note, that the Bass player was in the army reserves at the time. So he wanted to create a song that dealt with the subject & the group provided the music.
You may not remember or know, but the youth had no say as regards going into the miliatry, we were all forced by the draft to "volunteer" (LMAO) for the military or go to 2 years of jail. Many fled to canada. Isn't freedom lovely!

Don't have the lyrics to the song at hand, but if I find them in my mess of past musical paraphernalia, I'll post them here.
