this is a song i wrote the other day....


so much for freedom ring


don't you all remember the days

when life was oh so simple

but it gets more complicated all the time

several, double, triple

well it certainly ain't a secret

that most everyone is dumb

these days we're all kept so damn ignorant

ain't no difference between old and young



(chorus)

but boys and girls, ladies and gents

I got it all figured out, I see

too bad you're all still stupid and

you just wont listen to me

well it ain't a damn secret anymore

that you wont listen to me

so you'll just have to learn the hard way

enslavement will make you see



(bridge)

and boy won't you all regret

when were all just little scared rabbits

when the big boys up top regulating everything

taking away our nasty little habits



so much for freedom ring

when all the little boys and girls sing

daddy mommy why

why did you just stand by and

everyday you shut your eyes cause what everyone thought

was not at all the way

for you to think that our world is good

and now we all have to pay



oh darlin' im sorry this worlds gone to hell

I would have fixed it all you see

but baby I saw it coming

and noone would listen to me

well it ain't no suprise

that they all did what they were told

and now we're stuck

shit out of luck

and got no freedoms left to hold



(chorus)

(bridge)



maybe they weren't all stupid but

they just didn't listen to me

My dear Matt, this is the way many young people feel - that we old geezers have gone wrong by just 'standig by'. Soon you'll be a grown man. It will be your turn to do a better job than we did. Then your children will say the same to you. let's all send up a prayer that you and I will find freedom inside. That's ehere it counts. Then we can face the trials and chains and wars and danges that the world is so full of!

I take it this is a song with guitar music, perhaps?
