I wrote the lyrics and played around with a couple of chord progressions, but this is the first thing I recorded when I put them together; warts and all, under an hour. Happy to think there's something worth revisiting, though.
lyrics
With each passing year
Ideologies fade
Like an eroding hillside
That didn’t make the grade
I thought colored
was a thing of the past
Waning with the aging
Generational gap
But I was mislead
What goes on in your head?
Are you out of your mind?
I used to be an optimist
Wearing a smile of confidence
That the world was gonna change
That everything would be ok
I thought that we all had a choice
I thought we all had a voice
I thought you’d taken ignorance
And doused with gasoline
Please help me while I try
To understand the reasons why
Are you out of your mind?
