Jesus Freak Hideout:<\/b><\/i> Squad Five-O is a punk rock band from Savannah, Georgia, known for blending ska punk, glam rock, and Christian punk. Formed by brothers Jeff and John Fortson, they evolved from a thrash metal high school band into a nationally recognized act. Their early albums *What I Believe* and *Fight the System* stirred controversy with bold lyrics, including critiques of the Georgia state flag. After signing with Tooth &#038; Nail and later Capitol Records, their sound shifted toward glam rock, culminating in albums like *Bombs Over Broadway* and *Late News Breaking*. Though no longer touring full-time, Squad Five-O continues to perform reunion shows and remains a cult favorite in Christian punk circles.\n<\/small>\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Squad 5-0 - Piece of the Dream (Live @ Furnace Fest 2002)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rB-PXRe1WU8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jump back, gotta check it out<br>So tell what it&#8217;s all about<br>I jumped up when I turned around<br>To find out it&#8217;s all headed south<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I never thought it could<br>Could it ever feel so good<br>To be so misunderstood<br>While you&#8217;re going under<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a piece of the dream<br>Enough to keep me company<br>All the while I&#8217;m going down, down, down<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I&#8217;ve got my arms around a memory<br>Leaves me all alone with me<br>All alone and going down<br>Down, down, down<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t call me victimized<br>Brainwashed or hypnotized<br>I don&#8217;t need your alibis, for your lies<br>They&#8217;re all going &#8217;round<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it all comes back to you<br>And there&#8217;s nothing you can do<br>One thing to see me through<br>While I&#8217;m going under<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a piece of the dream<br>Enough to keep me company<br>All the while I&#8217;m going down, down, down<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I&#8217;ve got my arms around a memory<br>Leaves me all alone with me<br>All alone and going down<br>Down, down, down<br>Down, down, down<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You say you need someone<br>Well, I&#8217;m too far gone<br>I&#8217;m not the only one<br>Now you&#8217;re going under<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a piece of the dream<br>Enough to keep me company<br>All the while I&#8217;m going down, down, down<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I&#8217;ve got my arms around a memory<br>Leaves me all alone with me<br>All alone and going down<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I&#8217;ve got a piece of the dream<br>Enough to keep me company<br>All the while I&#8217;m going down, down, down<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I&#8217;ve got my arms around a memory<br>Leaves me all alone with me<br>All alone and going down<br>Down, down, down<br>Down, down, down<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Follow: Buy: Bandcamp eBay CDandLP Charts: Spotify Apple Music Last.fm Events: Songkick Bandsintown Learn more: Wikipedia Jesus Freak Hideout Via Wikipedia &#038; Jesus Freak Hideout: Squad Five-O is a punk rock band from Savannah, Georgia, known for blending ska punk, glam rock, and Christian punk.
