about

Inspired by the frustration of witnessing our world go to Hell in a handcart.
While so called leaders are driving us down a slippery slope.
The feeling of not being able to do anything about it..
But i can write a song to maybe piss them off and maybe think a bit

lyrics

This crazy old word is heading for hell
Rolling downhill with a tail wind as well
Brakes on the fade tyres out of tread
and a windy old road up ahead
Lunatic drivers for the steering wheel fight
Some veer to the left, some want to swerve right
There’s a clash coming up between poverty and greed
And all that anyone needs

Somewhere to live, someone to love, somewhere to work
And something to hope for
Food on the table, a soft place to sleep
A place in the middle where everyone meets
Somewhere to live, someone to love, somewhere to work
And something to hope for
Clothes on their back, their own path to choose
And what everyone needs, is something to lose

But it’s my God’s not your God, and your God’s hot mine
But weapons for oil and we’ll get on just fine
The corrupt and the corporate with the same brush are tarred
As long as the killing’s not in their back yard
But sadly our history shows that the way
Extremists at both ends hold far too much sway
The rest of us just want to live and let live
And all that anyone needs … Is

Rpt chorus
