NOTES:
I wrote this song just after hearing about this news story. I guess some of my details are/were off, but the point stands: One person's decision caused these people's death.
It struck an interesting chord in me because in light of the US occupation in Iraq. One man's decision resulting in so much death.
Some say pride is the biggest sin. I think that stickin' to your guns when you're dead wrong might just be pride. You do the math...
LYRICS:
im so tired of hearin the same old story
to grim to bleak to have to look towards that one day in glory
when one mans plan seem to force some to head over... before their time
but he ran away, run away, don't think he'll mind
run away... you'll be fine...
damned when our dreams dont get realized
damned when we're found out by all our petty lies
damned when our plans fail, damned when people try
damned when i cant see the truth through these jaded eyes
these eyes... see through these eyes...
but i'll tell ya somethin'
more than i want to know, i want to feel
that somehow... its all gonna be alright
tell me it's gonna be alright
ill tell ya about this young man who thought it was over
still that gas-guzzlin suv just couldnt crossover
damned boy walked though, kept to that high ground
them people had no choice, inside those train cars they drowned
he walked away... from this mess...
tell me bout that president from yesteryear
somethin about a better way of life through military fear
somethin about a better plan, this better man was stickin to his guns
damn theres gotta be a better way this world can be run
but i'll tell ya somethin'
more than i want to know, i want to feel
that somehow... its gonna be alright
and more than i want to see, i need to hear
someone tell me somehow... that it's gonna be alright
tell me it's gonna be alright
GET THE ALBUM or better yet, come see us play...
