the Rich Win the War
rightly:
I finished this in 3 days
It'll be punk rocky with a little jazzy sound to it.
I've got most of the musical ideas down.
So, I'm quite pleased with it.
I'll put it on an album I'm half way through.
It'll be titled "situationships"
Any feedback is very welcome. Thanks 🙏
the rich win the war
this is how the rich win the war
magnifying differences,
triggering all prejudice
this is how the rich win the war
this is why you're destined to lose
knowing what has been before
while figuring there is no more
this is why we're destined to lose
these mind machinations
way out on a limb
they' tightening the vice
my head caves in
this is how the pricks win the war
success will surely destroy you
there's no other way around it
you will leave it like you found it
success will most certainly kill you
these mind machinations
way out on a limb
they' tightening the vice
my head caves in
this is why we're destined to lose
this is how
the pricks win the war
I'll tell you now,
we are destined to lose

Sterix:
Looking forward to hearing this. They do have a "punk" quality to them when the words in my head.
adamfarr:
Quite some anger here! I'd like to hear the punk version of this. Using "profanity" (if that's the right word) is really interesting - sometimes it doesn't work or feels lazy, but if well chosen (as here) then it smacks us in the face and gets our immediate attention.

@Sterix
I've tried and failed at punk Rock before
The result was nevertheless interesting.
@adamfarr
Certainly, profanity is often misapplied
It might be something I can throw in when recording.
It works when spontaneous, I find.

I was just thinking of "pricks" - no need for more (unless you are really moved ;-))
