I’ve been struggling with lyrics for this project. There are just so many things I’m thinking and feeling about politics and the state of this world that I’ve felt overwhelmed! I’ve written and thrown away a handful of songs that just didn’t quite hit the mark. Now… I’m not sure that this one does either, but I do know that the backing track totally rocks! Reusenoise’s instrumental inspired me to finally give something a go… Thank you, Reusenoise!

Okay… I hope you dig…


WORDS
There was a promise made
Dreamers believed
But we didn’t know
What we were headed towards…

Good fights were won
Some felt left behind
And the demagogue
Drafted them for…

And it was not their fault
They too believed
Hopes and promises
That became this…

Lies are common place
Facts are misconstrued
Blame is thrown around
Living in this…

Dissent is demonized
Protest deemphasized
Outrage denied
Living in this…

Crazy
Demo-cra-crazy
Crazy
Demo-cra-crazy

Everything I thought
All of the progress made
On the verge of collapse
Living in this…

And we’re all afraid
Of everyone we meet
Are you with us or them
Living in this…

Crazy
Demo-cra-crazy
Crazy
Demo-cra-crazy

If you have nothing to lose
And think it all is rigged
And you’re out of hope
You open up to…

So many people hurt
So many need real change
Enough to burn it down
Force us into…

Crazy
Demo-cra-crazy
Crazy
Demo-cra-crazy
