about

This is a quick walk down the history of the United States of America. From landing on the beautiful shores of the eastern coast to occupying the land, kicking out the at-the-time-tenants, using religion, weapons, and an unchecked economic flow of ideas that would lead to an unimaginable influx of income...we've come a long way and have a long ways to go. Regardless, it's nice to consider the past every now and then when we approach decisions about the future. Hopefully we're moving on up and using logic and love to guide the way.

lyrics

It took a whole lot of ships to cross the ocean.
It took a whole lot of guns to make us think we took precautions.
It took a whole lot of time for us to rob this land.
A whole lot of time for us to make a stand.
A whole lot of time to push us right along, but it took a whole lot of money to make us feel so strong.

That's how we built America, land of the free.

It took a whole lot of opinions for us to turn them into law.
We took a nation of millions and we filled them with the fear of God.
It took a whole lot of money to keep Jesus on our side.
A whole lot of money to turn the truth into lies.
A whole lot of money to make us feel so brave, but it took a whole lot of time for us to free the enslaved.

That's how we built America, land of the free.

Now it's one nation under God
But let me ask you, is that all we got?

The Prabir Trio is a rock and roll group from Richmond, VA. Kelli Strawbridge on drums and Russell Lacy on bass and Kenneka Cook on harmony vocals are the balancing act to Prabir's erratic guitar and lyrics. This group puts all four very different musicians together in a very comfortable yet refreshing new setting. These songs are groove laden conversational chaos, just like life. ... more
