Here's hoping someday this part of the world truly lives up to it's lofty, righteous aspirations. We have a ways to go.
Less pressing- though,I think it maybe has potential; problems abound with the tune. I'm eager to hear feedback. Get vicious! :)
lyrics
Daddy please tell me a story
Something I can hold onto
'Cause the yarn that our Uncle has been spinning, now
Is sounding less and less like truth
Mama o' mama please tell me how the lamb has been a wolf in disguise
and the wool that's been pulled over my eyes is a Susan B original
Staid problems: was a bill goods, but the bill's come due
Staid problems: foundation came on the back of a black man
Staid problems: yelling "Freedom aint free!", but your running from your taxes
He say, she say: we don't quite see a problem
I wish we could afford to be so blind
Daddy please tell me a story
Something I can hold onto
'Cause the yarn that our Uncle has been spinning, now
Ain't turning out to be the truth
Mama o' mama please tell me how the lamb has been a wolf in disguise
and the wool that's been pulled over my eyes is a Susan B original
Staid problems: justice is a rare-assed bird
Staid problems: ain't no L-I-E like W.M.D.
Staid problems: swaying in the wind like a volte-face lie
Trickling down the scraps will leave us hungry
I wish we could afford to be so blind
Daddy please tell me a story
Something I can hold onto
'Cause the yarn that our Uncle keeps been spinning, now
It ain't the truth
Mama o' mama please tell me how this lamb has been a wolf in disguise
and the wool has been pulled over my eyes
Daddy please tell me?
Mama can you tell me, help me?
