Well... exciting week for my "studio" since I got a new iPhone (bigger one) that will be my new mobile workhorse. Hard to write this kind of song, but this is where the assignment led me. Seriously limited time and this is where the demo ended up. I really would like to take the time to rework w/ more time, because I'd like to write this type of FU song. Especially if I could do in my family shows where this would be a message I'd like to share w/ young peeps.
lyrics
Some people say build a wall
We scream no
The only way to win this war
Is let the hatred go
Together as one
Put down your guns
Lets start embracing
different faces
For fortune for chance
We take this humble stance
Better life is all they want
Isn't that what we're built on?
For fortune for free
For children we agree
Live the dream we all belong
We march on. We march on.
We wont let some closed off minds
Seal our fate
Stupid acts of hatred
shouldn't lead to more hate
Together we stand
Please take my hand
It may sound cliche
But get outta our way
