about

M. W. Degan (also known as Devastatin’ Degan, Deegs McFly, Degan the Destroyer, and MC Cold Cutz) began writing and playing music in 2003, and has only recently begun performing and recording as a solo artist; the majority of his material being about sandwiches and how to make them. He currently resides in Oneonta, NY. Researchers state that his voice has been known to scare away young children, ghosts, and in one case, a billy goat. He doesn’t care much for your shoes but he respects that you wear them. "Grand Theft Autonomy" was written in 2007.

lyrics

Would you open your mouth
If there was nothing to say?
Would you clear out your throat and call back
An old martyr who's remembered as an old friend
With an old debt to pay?

Would you ask him to stay
If he turned you away?

Would you rise to your feet
If there was nowhere to stand?
Would you jump in the air and submit?
If both of my wrists were tied up
Would you give me your hand?

And if the rising tides would be as timeless as I know they can
Would a man who dies by his own choice still be seen as a man?
And if you and I were to confide but then to only disband

I know we would be
I know we would be
I know we would be

Moving forwards, heading westwards
With no dry place to stay
Sometimes no words are the best words
That's when you've something to say

Would you open your eyes
If there was nothing to see?
Would you survey the skies and realize
That nobody ever had stood there
Except you and me?

And could that be the key
To your memory's conviction
On three counts grand theft amnesty?
