So here's the scoop.
This song is about societal complacency, how some people only worry about themselves, how some people don't care about the cost of something until its their problem.
It's also about terrorism, and Homeland security.
This has been helpful to me in the past. I'm just going to put what I have.
[ ←this indicates a line that isn't written yet, but something is intended to be there.
Any kind of feedback helps me venture out into wilderness of the song and plant flags.
I would appreciate hearing (reading) anything anyone might have to say. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!
extremely short demo vvvvv

There's a verse but I haven't written it yet, then the chorus, then bridge, then chorus again which will end it.
Chorus.....
[
[
[
[
What do you plan to do if the good guys lose
When they're done with them and they come for you?
Or would Spiderman come to save us?
Do we wait for somebody to save us?
Bridge.......
I'm afraid of ghosts, the CIA and the Taliban,
[
I reached out to God but he faked me out and he cut my hand,
I went to the doctor he doesn't take my insurance plan.
Without my permission they signed me up and they made my plans,
Filtered through the prism of someone who doesn't understand.
And we'll go around
Then chorus again. I already said that.

I really can't judge now, I wait to see it finished cause it looks interesting ;)

Chorus.....
[ Would angels come to our rescue?
[ or aliens with giant brains?
[ Will the old Lone Ranger ride again?
[ Or do we deserve our pain?
What do you plan to do
if the good guys manage to lose
When they're bad guys are done with them
and they come you know they will be coming for you?
Or would Spiderman come to save us?
Do we wait for somebodyone to save us?
Bridge.......
I'm afraid of ghosts,
the CIA and the Taliban,
[and the nukes that would end the world if anything can]
I'm afraid of the night.
I'm afraid that I might
succumb to the propoganda of the left and the right.
I reached out to God
but he faked me out and he cut my hand,
I went to the doctor.
He doesn't take my insurance plan.
Without my permission consent, they signed me up and they made my plans,
Filtered through the prism of someone who doesn't understand.
And we'll go around
Anything that helps, you are welcome to. Anything that doesn't help, just ignore.
Love the concept. "Disillusionment" is (imo) a great song subject.

Chorus.....
I appreciate you taking the time to respond with such detail!
Everything helps in one way or another.
I like where youre going with the bridge there, about nukes. You've definitely given me some things to consider, thank you!
