about

A political ode to leadership or a lack thereof...

lyrics

Watch the mind go
Watch the jaw slack
You can’t take anymore
and the world blackens

Run right through
Like someone close
It's a dirty game with all
this mudslinging

Draw me near now because I need you
Time to face the music
We may never know the answers we sought
but we feel it, deep in our hearts

Fear at Eye Level...

As you are
Don't try anything too soon
In this small conservative room
You're a mumbler, a stumbler of disjointed scripted phrase
Out goes wit with the coming of age


A good man breaks like a choir boy’s voice
Pummelled soundly, by these heckles of choice
Fools can bludgeon and laggards yell!
Well fed Jekyll's just out of jail

I saw you struggling in the language debates
The attack ads worked you senseless both night & day

Watch the mind go
Watch the jaw slack
You can’t take anymore
Of the world’s reaction
Run right through
Like someone close
It’s a dirty game
Full of half truths
It’s a dirty game
Turns the best away
