Flattened World from Asphalt Assault by Annimax
=====================================================
This is a progressive metal track about the effect of globalization on the American technological workforce. Inspired by author Thomas Friedman's book "The World is Flat: A Brief History of the 21st Century"
Musically, I unleashed on this track; tempo changes, weird time signatures, and riffs that push my abilities on every instrument, even bass!

Lyrics
FLATTENED WORLD
Fiber-optic freeway
From here to Bangalore
Easy source of sustenance
Won't be 'round anymore
Your life
Just bits and bytes
Piped 10,000 miles away
Beijing skyline sends
Its early distant warning
Smokestacks rising upward
Signal work offshoring
Your stuff
Not cheap enough
Built 10,000 miles away
Wake up
No one stays on top forever
Get up
Not without a fight
Stand up
We can prove ourselves together
Be proud
Show this nation's might
