The Murky Waters Of Songwriting IV

Hmm.

Just wrote a new song. It's a country song (alvin won't believe this I suppose) contrary to the Jazz-pop songs which I've been churning out since Secondary Two.

Actually I pulled out Alvin's 'Will The Circle be Unbroken' CD which I've borrowed from him since May this year or so. So I burned all the songs into my hard drive and listened to them. Songs such as 'Keep On The Sunny Side', 'Dark As A Dungeon' and 'Tennessee Stud' just brought back the feelings of joy regarding bluegrass, which I do believe had been driven out due to lack of practise with Alvin.

Anyhow, this song is pretty interesting, as it talks about George W Bush (aka The Stupidest Person on the Face of This Earth besides Zelda, nominee for Stupidest person) and his inability to comprehend compassion and control violence.

Here're the lyrics:

Verse 1
There's a turning point in history where we're standin' now
When one man's decision can change the world
I think of all the people who suffer so much
Because this man is ruining the world

Verse 2
Oh people can't you see, just how we could be
Not letting this guy live our lives no more.
I'm standin' here a weepin' for our stranded souls
When all we once knew has gone away.

Chorus:
I'm wishin' for a better tomorrow
when fishin' in the wild needs no fear
I'm wishin' for a better tomorrow
when livin' our lives needs no tears

Verse 3
Well my mamma told me yeaterday 'you'd never need to cry,
Cuz two years go by very soon'
I said 'mamma please, don't say that so,
Because it ain't easy to heal the hurt'

Chorus

(Mandolin Solo)

Chorus

No more tears...
No more tears...
No more tears...
