Song information
A couple friends have asked me why I haven't been around. Well...
As I wrote in my recent blog, apart from a few poorly recorded oldies all I have left in my back catalog are some political songs.

While some are too strong for release in these overly tense times a few of the less extreme ones might prove enjoyable.

It's a hard thing for me to gauge...

I have a bluegrass satire that I'd love to post but it might anger any Marxists on this site. Too bad... it's kinda funny.

This song, on the other hand, can be---I hope---enjoyed whether one is Right Wing, Left Wing, or Independent.

So here I am going out on the limb a little...

Be well my friends!

Lyrics
JUMP BACK
I
Here they come glidin' down the sidewalk, 
wavin' their petition right in my face.
Like I got nothin' better to do 
than endorse the latest social disgrace!
Jump back!  Jump back! 
You're rantin' and you're ravin' like some mental case! 
Jump back! Jump back!
Get on out of my personal space!
Makes me want to pack it up,
and disappear without a trace!
Jump back! Jump back!
Show a little class... Show a little grace... 
Jump back! Jump back!
"Walk away boys! And quicken your pace!"
II
Your manipulation of public opinion 
well it really makes me ill...
I've heard it all before 
and you know I've had my fill. 
YEAH!
I've had my fill, baby!
Jump back! Jump back!
III
I don't share your values or your dreams;
or your collectivistic schemes.
I know what justice really means! 
IV
Here I am sittin' at the table, 
Tryin' to enjoy my evenin' meal.
Phone rings... our lady of the survey, 
wants to know exactly how I feel.
Jump back! Jump back!
It's none of your business 
what I think or feel!
Jump back! Jump back! 
You're social engineering has zero appeal!
You make wanna get behind the wheel; 
and drive away in search of someplace real!
Jump back! Jump back! 
Your phishin' expedition is now at an end... 
Jump back! Jump back! 
No information here for you to bend; 
not now, no never again! 
You're always ravin' 'bout the wisdom of the masses; well it doesn't mean too much to me. 
Well I got my own name for it,
---I call mass insanity! 
Jump back!

I dunno... release whichever songs strike your fancy. After all, it's impossible to know how someone will react to a piece of artwork, a song, a speech... until it is shown / sung / spoken. I think most of us here are on the "mature" side anyway and we can handle opinions fairly well. :)  And this was a good one.

This has a great kick to it ... Great lyrics and amazing vocals.. I am reminded of the talented B52s and got this pumping out in my lil studio and our new puppy ( Alfie ) appears to be enjoying this as much as my wife and I 👌👌

Great tune Mike ! My poor hearing only picks out half the lyrics anyway so I tend to just dig the music but what super strong vocals .
This was an easy upbeat one to get into.

This is awesome, Bruv!
for me this is Marc Knofler meets Ray Davies meet Boomtown Rats Geldof or Andy Partridge from XTC 
and the structure of Max Webster (Im Canadian, hopefully some of you have heard them over the decades - Awesome)
Long story to say NOICE!

Hi'ya brother!
CONFESSION TIME: I really had a h e l l of a time singing "Jump back! Jump back!" I must have recorded that line twenty times before I got the pitch right. Then I cut and pasted it in wherever else it was needed, because I wasn't able to hit it just right again. LOL...
Glad you enjoyed the energy!

You are much too kind with those wild comparisons! Funny thing is that, with the exception of Mark Knopfler, I've never listened to those other bands. I've been aware of them but never pursued them. 
Nevertheless I deeply appreciate that "NOICE"!

Great tune Mike. Enjoyed this one.You know where I sit on the political fence :)So there is no need for me get political. I will look forward in reading the lyrics when you get the chance to publish them. And take another listen.

Has a great sound, Mike… Sometimes I'm more drawn to the music anyway… The lyrics are secondary.

Great song mike... punkish guitar and a boogie beat makes great foot stomping rock and roll. Great lyrics too.  I agree with @Neumuzik . Communication is a good thing and we are here to listen.

@Wyndsok  Mike, as long as you mention it in your song description (beware : politics), i dont see why you shouldnt post those political songs. We may not share your views, but we can act like adults and not reduce you to some line in your lyrics. You're much more than that. You're a musician. And a mighty good one. I feel that - for my part - i'm absolutely not supporting the leaders you mentionned in some previous posts (esp. the french one...) BUT i will listen, enjoy, and support your work anyway. So please, fire away ! (oh and btw : love this tune, and the guitar riffs are killer).

I deeply appreciate your comments on this song and on my liner notes.
I think most here are pretty mature when it comes to politics. Folk might be
surprised to know that for me it's mostly about choosing the lesser of two evils; and that this is not a matter of ideology but of long term effects and results. This is the world and its always been a dangerous place. I probably should have labed this song "explicit." I just might go and make the correction. As for the rest, participation seems to be declining over all for whatever reasons, and one reason why I expressed hesitation to post certain songs is I do not want to unwittingly contribute to that phenomenon. Oh well, I'm starting to ramble. That usually means it's time for me to shut my trap.
Love ya bro!

Your voice took another dimension on this one.. Reminded me a tiny bit of Devo!.. Rapid fire lyrics.. you keep topping yourself and I loved the phaser at the end. From reading the comments, I find it interesting that members here are more mature than many of the elite recording artists.   This is so far my Favorite of yours

Bottome line.. this is a Great rocker and for me it is always the composition and performance quality!! Sensational guitar and singing!!!!! Sinatra was often known for his efficiency and tendency to aim for "one-take" recordings. However, there is one well-known exception where he famously required many takes: "I've Got You Under My Skin." This particular song, with its intricate arrangement and challenging vocal phrasing, likely demanded a higher level of precision and effort from Sinatra. Your song fits that complexity. @Wyndsok

Rockin song dude!
ok. here's my take on lyrics. feel free to fix up the Mondegreens... or not.
life is short and "we're all going to die." (what an uplifting philosophy)
here you go: 
here they come glidin down the sidewalk 
wavin your petition right in my face 
like i got nothin better to do 
than endorse a social disgrace 
 jump back jump back 
you're running out like some mental case 
jump back jump back 
get on out of my personal space 
 makes me want to pack it up 
and disappear without a trace 
 jump back jump back 
show a little class, show a little grace 
jump back jump back 
? your manipulation of public opinion 
well it really makes me ill 
i've heard it all before and you know i've had my fill 
i've had my fill, baby 
 jump back jump back 
i don't share your values or your dreams 
or your collectivistic schemes 
i know what justice really means 
here i am sittin at the table 
tryin to enjoy my evenin meal 
all ? our lady of the survey 
whats to know what i feel 
jump back jump back 
none of your business 
what i think of you 
 jump back jump back 
there's lots of ways of hearin what the ?? i feel 
 you make wanna get behind the wheel 
and drive away into someplace real 
 jump back jump back 
your giant expedition is a ? anthill 
 jump back jump back 
your information is here to bend 
 not now, not ever again 
you're all dreamin bout the wisdom of the masses 
well it doesn't mean much to me 
well, i got my own name for it 
i call mass insanity

Thanks Bill, for motivating me to get off my lazy butt and post the lyrics.
You nailed most of them! Congrats!
:-)
As for your take on the philosophy behind this song... well... you're quite wide of the mark my friend!
:-0
Actually the song is my riposte to being frequently assaulted on the street or on the phone by self-righteous political activists... especially those of the collectivist persuasion.
So there you have it bro! I hope this clears things up some. Glad you enjoyed the song, and deeply appreciate your taking the time to comment!
Be well!
