Here is a song I wrote this morning - feeling strongly about the encroaching line on our freedoms here in Australia.
Lyrics:
[Am (G) Am, F (E) F]
There is a hard line
That sits within you
The rights gone today
You stood up for yesterday
You're now a radical
For blatantly being free
Left wing, right wing
The same rotten tree
[open chords Am, F]
Rot at the heart of the core
Rot at the heart of the beast
The same corruption
The same hollow seed
The chill at the valley of shadows
Knock, knock, knocking at your door
The same deception
The same unfulfilled need
[Dm, F, Am (G) Am]
Everytime you shuffle your feet
To sacrifice a portion
You surely trade your soul
For lies and foul deceit
The line is coming closer
Radical you and radical me
Compromise in fear
Or stand and up the gear
[Am (G) Am, F (E) F]
Stand and stand together
Hold your ground indeed
Walk the line inside
Choose the right to see
Stand and stand together
Hold your ground indeed
Walk the line inside
Choose the right to see
[open chords Am, F]
Stand and stand together
Hold your ground indeed
Walk the line inside
Choose the right to see
Stand and stand together
Hold your ground indeed
Walk the line inside
Choose the right to see
[G, F, Am]
eeeeeeee....
