Welcome to my new page, these are my journeys. After a long hiatus and getting my shit together, I'm starting to create again. My goal is to move to the Pacific Northwest in the next few years. Here's some old photos and posters from the Stiffy Green era. Unfortunately, the MySpace band page purge mishap took down our page. If anyone has any of our music we gave out on CDRs or photos from that period, please email them to me here. I'll try to post various pictures here when I come across them.
Stiffy Green - Bleak Desolation (2003)
Lyrics and vocals by Jason Schoppe
Wondering, blundering in the state of fundamentals
Finding diamonds sifting through the dirt as it resettles
Drowning in the knowledge of the ancients changes all reality
Worship mother nature fuck the single mind mentality
Religion corrupting politics twist freedom into terror mass
Fear cripples happiness alters time never ending hour glass
Depression, regression rips consciousness into solitude
Substance abuse for conformity ego conception misconstrued
Perfection pills amends desperate cries for help insecure
A poison growing society not looking within to find a cure
Mankind racing rats inflicted fever to consume
Towers growing concrete jungle Earth speeds toward the final tomb
When they warn, we will mourn
Just a speculation
No permission for this submission
Bleak Desolation
Forgotten crypts and all knowing manuscripts
Another crooked cremation
The roundabout to the inside out
Bleak Desolation
Stiffy Green - Scenic View (2002)
Lyrics and vocals by Jason Schoppe
The lonely fields of times past have all gone astray
Dump City rapes the mass of egos well known cliche
Randomly placed among the sheep like a bad display
Just another mind jacked, a leader hidden in the pack
Struggling with the authority to destroy the word obey
Future sights the dream creeps in desolate imagination
While the soul recoils the deceitful horror of temptation
Ignorance crowns the path of man's selfish foundation
From one side of the weak, to the other side of the meek
Foolish men buy the shifty lies of a god's failed salvation
One place to another the path of stories start to intersect
Tongues to the unsuspecting speaks out in merchant dialect
Buying the bullshit for the smell of truth is what to collect
The wicked steals a win, marches fear on the grim
Fiction tattles the seeds that sow actuality goes unchecked
Dead end alley cats reported lost in their fables of curiosity
Rainbow laced triggers fire the clip fueled bullets of identity
Secret filled towers burn through unconscious inhumanity
One foot firmly in the grave, one name whispers of a slave
The game of life is nothing more than a well designed conspiracy!
Stiffy Green - Melodrama Melody (2002)
Lyrics by Jason Schoppe, vocals Jason Schoppe, Ryan Moree
Life is a masquerade a never ending play
We're all stuck in this overpriced matinee
But I will get beat so I must obey
To betray what I portray
I have to keep these thoughts locked away
Over my shoulder I throw out the key
Everything is a self righteous conspiracy
Been trying to cut these strings of mediocrity
I'm a refugee of my own damn insanity
Lost inside the worlds of my superficiality!
So, sit your asses down get ready for the show
Gonna take a ride on the misleading rainbow
See the good Doc get shot by the buffalo
Watch as old man Gepetto rapes poor Pinocchio
Slave labor funds the Rebel base in Tokyo!
I know whatcha thinkin where did it all go wrong?
Maybe I shouldn't have taken that rip from the bong
All these different feelings why can't they just get along?
Well ding dong, it's time to sing song!
Mr. Miyagi would you please hit the gong?
I truckle at the notion of being a robot
Controlled by lies that's corrupting life's plot
The rich get richer while the poor are left to rot
The ol' melting pot is now red hot
On second thought, let's not go to Camelot
To naive cos we're heading in the wrong direction
We walk our paths looking for some sort of connection
But when we look in the mirror we hate our reflection
Just one imperfection ruins our complexion
And we bleed it upon others like a bad infection
So caught up with ourselves that we don't realize
We delude the truth it's easier to disguise
It's hard to appreciate when we always scrutinize
We love to hate so others can sympathize
Watching out the window as the world gets smaller
Money, bitches, and the bling, MTV makes me a baller
Another mother on Judge Judy gets sued by her daughter
QVC is sellin the "know aller" with a wife beating brawler
And the news warns of the neighborhood plastic knife mauler
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
With a full pack of smokes
And a handle of Jim Beam
Drink away my sanity
To lower my self esteem
Mix it with jealousy
Top it with greed extreme!
Dumbing everything down
Is the new American Dream
The more stupid we become,
the more I want to scream!
Stiffy Green - Pocket Gods (2002)
Lyrics and vocals by Jason Schoppe
One impulsive action
Has caused a reckless reaction
You're so unsure of what to do
You try to be divine
Ya don't want to walk the line
What's right what's wrong
In unclear times
Can be tough to decide
When your thoughts collide
You mistrust your mind
So you follow your instincts
And that's when the shit
Really starts to stink
You meant right
But you did wrong
And now you wonder if
Hell is where you belong
So you pray for no more confusion
Your intelligence is an illusion
And you're right back at the start
Because honestly, let's face it
You're not so smart...
Step right up
I gotta special for you
When times are tough
And your feeling blue
No more worries
Of what's evil and good
Like when you do something
You're not sure you should
Just reach in your pocket
And pull out the almighty
Your own personal god
To alleviate your stupidity
Now your mind can be at ease
No more of that mental strain
Of what's right and what's wrong
Your pocket god will explain
Act now and save
3 payments of nine ninety five
Cash or credit
In 2 to 4 it will arrive
The pocket God
Save your ass today!
Stiffy Green - SOPOT (2004)
Lyrics by Jason Schoppe, vocals by Jason Schoppe & Ryan Moree
Moments when the surreal crashes
into reality creates a curious flow
Your thoughts and perception will spin
like a bad case of vertigo
Outspoken duration's unhinging the
emotions of scenes you can't understand
Slowly moving toward the next occurrence
while you're blundering in wonderland
Another hap ass episode of some shit
you just can't seem to explain
When your mind opens up for a glimpse
and makes you feel so damn insane
Eats into your consciousness where
you feel like you're about to lose all control
So intense it sends a shiver down your
spine that shivers your soul
Reaching the end so high in the peeks
of puzzles and enlightenment
Caught up in another
sections of periods of time event
