This is NOT a great song that did NOT start with a great opening lyric. But the best I could do for another crazy week. I could probably mine these ideas and come up with something much better with some more time though. At least I "struck first" this week and didn't do any beats. So, keeping it organic.
lyrics
it’s not the fight that meets your sword?
What the hell you waiting for?
Wage the battle lose the war
What the hell you fighting for?
Dive it in deep, twist the knife
Rub the salt, take a life
All a wash , on judgment day
Rich man taketh, Poor man left to pay
Fog is deep and smoky, darkness closing in
Lambs off to the slaughter, losers never win
Choose to live, fight to die
Sell your soul for an alibi
All a wash on elections eve
Time to go, will u leave
Closed eyes don’t, see anything at all
Rally round dictators, watch them all fall
All just a charade, this battle cry
Solitary voice, hung out to dry
