Mike’s Dead Releases Fury-Filled New Track “Puppets” Via Hopeless Records

Welcome to a new era of Mike’s Dead - where apologies go out the window and he embraces his most brutally honest lyrics yet. With his new politically charged anthem, “Puppets”, Mike’s Dead presents a raucous and in-ignorable anthem which takes aim at America’s problem with over-prescribing medication. With the song, Mike’s Dead takes back control and refuses to be a puppet of a broken system. It’s just the start for the rising rocker.

Mike’s Dead shares of the track: "I originally wrote this song about my relationship with prescription medication. As someone who's dealt with mental health issues throughout life I've played the "medication game" for years, and often felt zombied or drugged out from half the shit they put me on. My experience in that realm was really along the lines of "take your pills and smile." It always felt like there was very little empathy or time spent learning background, but rather doctors just pushing pills down your throat. I know that it helps with certain people, but to me I never felt like myself; all in this search to feel "normal". Puppets was an ode to taking back control of myself and a hit at this medication game that millions of people are playing right now... hence the "you can't take control of me" lines in the pre chorus. I think it's funny that I wrote this back in 2020 since the lyrics can be applied to so many current themes in 2023 w/ all of the chaos that's been going on lately".
