ABOUT THE SONG
This coversong was inspired by the rioting in Baltimore, MD. The people rising up against violence with violence seemed too ironic… too hypocritical. So, the rioters posing to be on TV made me think of this song (for they are The Beautiful People.)
Daniel — Vocals, Acoustic Guitar (Martin), Electric Guitar (Ibanez with floating tremolo), Organ, Keyboards and Synthesizers
