+ Info...

54•40 is a Canadian alternative rock group from Vancouver, British Columbia, whose literate and melodic music is frequently compared to that of R.E.M. The band takes their name from the slogan "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight," coined to express the expansionist agenda of James K. Polk's presidency, intent upon controling a contested U.S.-Canada border area. The group formed in 1981 as a trio consisting of Brad Merritt (bass), Ian Franey(drums), and Neil Osborne (vocals). In 1983, Phil Comparelli was added on guitar and vocals, and Franey was replaced by Darryl Neudorf.

"Blame Your Parents" : 54*40, from "Smilin' Buddha Cabaret"

The tune is pretty much like this :

----------------------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------------------|
---5---5---4-------AND (chug chug chuggin')-:-------|
---------------5------------------2-----------------| 
-5---3---3----------------5---5---0-----------------|
-------------5------------3---2---------------------| 

Main riff                 "Memory..." chorus

deschooling grind breeds unrest
adult children get depressed
transparent self will always fail
archaic man leaves a trail
subhuman rubbed in parading eyes
libido pastures and the drug-nose highs
horns and hooves quest for death
existential vacuum becomes a rest

memory's lost to pride

puppets all take up slack
single minds won't give it back
unconscious god broadcast fraud
selfish goals defer the cost
tribal order suicide 
super-ego suckling genocide
blame your parents' broken image
blame the counter-culture
and the global village

memory's lost to pride

Solo

Freud was wrong he told a lie
it was child abuse and Oedipus should die
he milked the brain's trance-like state
blame your parents

memory's lost to pride

P.S.  I could tab "Ocean Pearl" if anyone's interested.
