A song about conspiracy theorists. They bug me with their wingeing. "Wah wah wah, it's not fair" - well do something about it then, instead of claiming some kind of superiority and secret knowledge like we give a damn! Rant over, lol.

I re-recorded this song for my wife for Christmas, 30 years after it was originally written and recorded. It was my most popular of the songs I wrote when I was a teenager, and even had some radio airplay in 1981, despite its horrible recording…

This is a piece in a microtonal tuning - but sounds very much like pentatonic in "normal" 12 equal tuning to my ears. But I work in microtonal tunings all the time and may be biased.
