Title: Present State Of Democracy
Post by: Natty_Fred on March 31, 2004, 04:55:42 AM
The present state of democracy, is like conductor with no symphony,
Like conductor on a runaway train...let me say it again
The present state of democracy, just like conductor with no electricity,
Like conductor on a runaway train, yes it's one in the same

Our fathers turning in their graves to see, just what they've done to this democracy,
Like conductor on a runaway train, it will never come back the same
Our mothers crying in their graves tonight, they wan't to stop it but it's out of sight,
Like conductor on a runaway train,  only hope and little time remain

But still they shout "fair democracy", but there's no justice so how can that be?
Like a cowboy in a wild-west town, one step too close and Sherriff shoot him down
Yet still they cry "fair democracy", They may say it but they don't fool me,
They're like a coward in a wild-west town, we walk ten paces they take 5 and turn round and

Bang...Before we have time to turn, we get shot now will we ever learn,
They are like cowards in a wild-west town, they get a chance and they will shoot us down
So in your 'so-called' "democracy", why have you left nothing for me
Like a Sherriff in your wild-west town, you claim dominion over all around

Well I myself call it hypocrisy, because it's mainly aristocracy
Why can't we put them on a runaway train, woah I will say that again
I and I say it's hypocrisy, a far cry from democracy
I hope they all jump on this runaway train, so only those who don't crave power remain

This present state of democracy, is like conductor with no symphony,
Like conductor on a runaway train...let me say it again
The present state of democracy, is like conductor with no electricity,
Like conductor on a runaway train...like shipwreck only driftwood remain

Greetings...

It is a song I wrote for my classical acoustic guitar.
So no, not dub.

It probably would be if I had the technology.
