You really should be playing this on the Relative Rabbit band page! Matt wrote the lyrics, sang, played piano and drums. Bill played guitar, bass, and synths.

Strange music for strange people.
Dollar Bill and The Unmentionables has been recording slightly silly music since 1989. In 2010 we started making videos to stare at while the song plays. Genre: varies, sometimes within the same song even. Be sure to check out the video page, as many of the songs have super high-budget (i.e. $0) music videos

Story behind the song
This is one of two songs that lead to the formation of Relative Rabbit.
Lyrics
We used to walk on water We used to breathe the air Now they lead the lambs to slaughter And no one seems to care You’re looking for a footprint Or some writing on the wall You’ll never know just what you have Until you lose it all Oh, if you need to be saved Fall down on your keys and pray somehow Point and click on "send it now", and yes Confess all your sins in 140 characters or less This ain't no revolution This ain't no crystal ball Just take a look on the otherside And tell us what you saw Oh it’s a virtual life But you know that you better decide On the Silicon Way... Somehow it’s gonna be alright Just Calm down until you see the light OMG mechanical and systematic This dramatic demographic Is ecstatic, on a magic high! You don't need no Dalai Lama Or a priest to intervene No need to wait for karma To tell you what it all means We're looking for some believers Someone just like you Have you ever wanted all the better things in life? Me too! So, if you need to be saved Fall down on your keys and pray For the Silicon Way The Silicon Way

Programmed drums are fine...until you hear real drums in a tune like this. So refreshing...and i'm not even a drummer! This tune for me screams 60's...Kinks an Beatles. The lyrics are first class as are the vocals. Intsrumntation is dead on. Alot of work went into this one. Fine mixing and production. Ace collab here...bravo!!

Yes, this is rocking. I like the power in here. So completely different from the other collab on this Clickers station. I really think you could handle all genres. I like the pure sounds in here, without manipulation. Just Rock! It is bringing back the 70's and 80's for me somehow. Nice job, guys! And I hope there is coming more.....

Very cleverly written both lyrically and musically. Extremely impressed by the drum work. This is the kind of song that grabs your attention right away - perfect for radio play and has "hit" written all over it. Superb job.
