    This powerful blend is a dance hall DJ-version of Karney's original song found on her debut album. Karney weaves her message of peace into an upbeat, groovin' dance remix. Reggae rapper and producer Standout Selector (a.k.a. Steffen Franz) added beat loops and other drops behind the message the song carries forth.
    CD: KARNEY   Label: Tangent Records
    Credits: Written by Karney with additional lyrics by Steffen Franz. Vocals: Karney & Standout Selector, Guitars and Keys: Karney, Drums: John Mader, Bass: Victor Little, Percussion: Ben Krames

    Story Behind the Song
    Shellshock Girl is a call to arms in a time of deep crisis and emotional upheaval. It talks about the destructive effects of war and speaks to socially conscious advocates of world peace.

    Shellshock Girl was recorded using a combination of methods: 2 inch 24 track tapes for drums, bass, and lead vocs, and hard disc recording for everything else. Then it was remixed exclusively in the hard disc realm. Up to about 70 tracks were used by the time this remix was finished.

    Lyrics
    She's a Shellshock Girl, she's a little Shellshock Girl.

    Don't play your music too loud
    don't make her stand in a big crowd,
    take her out on the fourth of July
    well she'll just break down and cry

    'Cause she's a Shellshock Girl, she's a little Shellshock Girl.

    Fire, fire as the flames grow higher
    you hear the news as it travels the wire
    see a young gal couldn't be any fairer
    tears on her face as she prays to the father.
    She asks a question, he never answers
    turns out that she is also a soldier
    her rank increase as she gets older
    don't pass it on or the children will suffer

    Shellshock gal well me can't defend
    and it goes on and on and on and on
    passin' it on to the bitter end
    human against human against human
    Shellshock gal well me can't defend
    and it goes on and on and on and on
    passin' it on to the bitter end
    Yeah it goes on and on and on and on and

    She's a Shellshock Girl, she's a little Shellshock Girl.

    Wound up tighter than tight
    flashbacks keep her up in the night
    and now she is lost to the streets
    still sidesteppin' the dead at her feet.

    'Cause she's a Shellshock Girl, she's a little Shellshock Girl.

    Hour to hour worlds under pressure
    yes times have changed but not for the better,
    she marks the years with lines on the mirror
    wakes up one day now she has a daughter.
    Ma does a shot and paints her a picture
    new bombs explode and the feelings just smolder,
    turns out the winter got kind of colder
    she steps aside as the cycle turns over.

    Shellshock gal well me can't defend
    and it goes on and on and on and on
    passin' it on to the bitter end
    human against human against human
    Shellshock gal well me can't defend
    and it goes on and on and on and on
    passin' it on to the bitter end
    Israel and Palistine
    Shellshock gal well me can't defend
    the Catholic and the Protistant
    passin' it on to the bitter end
    the Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda
    Shellshock gal well me can't defend
    and don't forget the gunslingin' American
    passin' it on to the bitter end

    She's a little,
    I'm a little,
    we're a little,
    shellshock world
    Yeah it goes on and on and on and on and
