BUILDING 7 | The Extraditions

‘Building 7’ emerges from countless dialogues over 18 years with scholars, university students/researchers, and soldiers and sailors who maintain a robust skepticism of official mythologies regarding the baffling un-investigated oddities of September 11, 2001 and obvious efforts made in various media to obscure the full picture and to marginalize voices calling for an independent unbiased inquiry of the events of that fateful day. The song is an integration of observed phenomena and a call—inspired by Martin Luther King—to ‘raise our voices’ and pursue truth for its powers to set free the captives.Show more

Critical Responses:

When original pieces like this start appearing about Building 7, I realize the freshness of this social movement is still with us—still alive. This is crucial, since we are entering a time when some of the old guys, like me, are fading away and the really young folks don't remember 9/11. It is so important for the rest of you to keep open the doors of inspiration ... and maintain a vigorous tradition of sparkling dissent. —Graeme MacQueen, 2019

Lyrics

verse 1

Building seven, oh, where did you go?

Forty-seven stories from ground zero

Made in red masonry, and occupied

By Giuliani’s indestructible lair

The zealous cows that lead the team

To inquire of your whereabouts

Said you collapsed from raging fires

A buckled i-beam vaporized your floors

chorus 1

Cognitive infiltration

Dulling the minds of the masses

Time for manipulation

Dominating the lower classes

verse 2

Servile sycophants and media goons

Crushing voices that question the tale

Supplied us all with a mass of lies

Mesmerizing and to hypnotize

bridge

A genius in mass persuasion

Cass is sun stein

Pushing a new kind of Kool aid

chorus 2

Cognitive infiltration

Dulling the minds of the masses

Time for manipulation

Dominating the lower classes

outro (feat. mc fluff)

Building 7

Where did you go?

Made you go up

Made you go down
