Normal History Vol. 479: The Art Of David Lester

Every Saturday, we’ll be posting a new illustration by David Lester. The Mecca Normal guitarist is visually documenting people, places and events from his band’s 34-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.

Shake this land
raised up to wait
without windows

Shake this land
Shake it

Muttering about a strength to ignore all tools
rasp, chisel and oil

Shake this land
Shake it

Red proud eyes
born on a shadow of a legend

Shake this land
Shake it

Muttering about a strength to ignore everything
all tools
rasp, chisel and oil

It’s a truly uncivilized nation
that treats medical care
as a commodity to be sold

Take it
It’s yours
