LET ME IN I walked up to your doorstep To knock upon your door but I I noticed two were in there Even though there was no light You're open Smile would greet me when I would do this in weeks past it is a surprise completely that our love would not last but you take for granted that the man in your eyes now will be around to love you half as much as I know how You don't really see what's inside of me right outside your door bringing so much more why won't you let me in I walked down from your doorstep so I could get on with my life I noticed you weren't in there So I met someone to share my life Her open smile will greet me and our child will make us laugh and I know completely that our love will always last You don't really see what's inside of me right outside of your door bringing so much more why won't you LET ME IIIIN! I don’t know what game to play You gotta let me in I don’t know what words to say You gotta let me in I don’t know what game to play You gotta let me in I don’t know what words to say You gotta let me in You don't really see what's inside of me right outside of your door bringing so much more So much more to get on with my life to get on with my life

Cut you up. they pick you up they set you up Prop u up. Shoot you up. they sound so strong and they talk so long they lie through every tooth. the cost is steep We see them creep our eyes roll from the sky but I see the truth the man who bleeds and the child who needs cannot tell a lie the image speaks our insides weep We all know why We cry We see the truth lately We hear the steroid lines but We don’t hear the truth the image speaks our insides Weep We all know We cry there’s only one Thing that’s done hate ripped a hole in everyone of us. lately We hear the sterile lines We know it’s not the truth

BABY BLUE Guess I got what I deserved Kept you waiting there too long, my love All that time, without a word Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget or I'd regret The special love I have for you My baby blue All the days became so long Did you really think I'd do you wrong? Dixie, when I let you go Thought you'd realize that I would know, I would show The special love I have for you My baby blue What can I do, what can I say? Except that I want you by my side How can I show you? Show me a way Don't you know the times I've tried? Guess that's all I have to say Except the feeling just gets stronger everyday Just one thing before I go Take good care baby, let me know, let it grow The special love you have for me My Dixie dear

HARD TO MAKE A LIVING well it’s hard to make a livin these days can’t work enough to recover nobody knows where it goes not even my mother hay hay hay daddy doesn’t know what to say cause he shoved down the slide took a high def ride to the shithole when the drone strike cleared He was blown up and left on the road left alone in the bank well it’s hard to make a livin these days hard to be a good brotha overworked, underpaid out in the cold no cover oh wo wo The economy fell from the glow well you can roar like a lion soar like an eagle argue with each other till your blue in the face slide like a reptile run till you can't smile you know you find yourself back in the same place! well we got shoved down the slide took a high def ride to the shithole! when the drone strike cleared we were blown up and left on the road left alone in the bank!

about

John Sherman and Randy Chiurazzi of San Diego, California formed The Social Orphans with the vision of writing, recording and performing songs as an escape from the daily grind and responsibilities of career and family. Drawing influence from the rigid art funk of the Talking Heads, the technical precision of Rush, the slick pop rock of Rick Ocasek's The Cars and the sarcastic rock of The B-52's, The Social Orphans comment on the world we're living with surreal, weird, dramatic, romantic lyrics over a cosmopolitan mixture of violin, keyboards and clean ringing New Wave guitars.

Classically trained from youth, their burning desire to make music reignited in early 2001 with nightly jam sessions in the San Diego neighborhood of Point Loma with Social Orphan guitarist, Larry Macneil. Efforts stepped-up in earnest in the fall of 2014 with the creation of Black Cat Music Studios. The studio provided a sanctuary inspiring the creativity, musical exploration and personal expression necessary to develop a truly unique style and sound that is fresh and exciting to the ear.

Their efforts have culminated in the album, The Power of Ten, scheduled for release on February 22, 2019. The 10-song debut from the San Diego duo is "a New Wave transmission from the margins of society. The album delivers a hard-hitting, cutting-edge sound that is genuinely unique to The Social Orphans.
