Here's a new one I just wrote.....a socio-political folk-rock rant on various subjects, well,  all I could fit onto 3 and a half minutes.  Four acoustic guitar tracks (double drop D), bass, drums, vocals.   My apologies in advance to any Trump supporters.  >:(

The blindest of the blind are leading you astray,
Still you ingest every single word they say
They'll promise you ten, but come up short on nine,
Get used to it, a sign of the times

Mama's little babies got nothing on hand to eat,
Baby's older brother getting shot down on the street,
Governor says we're winning the war on crime,
We all know it's bull, it's just a sign of the times

The polar caps are melting yet climate change ain't real
Go tell that to the penguins, the polar bears and the seals,
Mother Nature pillaged cuz we beg, borrow and steal.......it's all real

Kim-Jon with his Moe Howard haircut's on TV
Firing off his missiles for everyone to see
Can the world get together and try to keep him in line,
They haven't a clue, another sign of the times

The eyes that gaze upon us are satellites in the sky,
Picking out the targets as to who will live or will die,
Never get an answer as to who or when or why......my, my

A moron gets elected sent to Washington D.C,
Making deals for his buddies, doesn't speak for you or me,
Can't put two words together and tweeting out crazy lines,
Is this what it's come to, or just a sign of the times

Get used to it, a sign of the times     oh yeah
"Play because you love it. Don't worry about if it will ever make any money, just understand that playing is an end in itself, and you play music, it will make your life better. And, don't worry about being a star, don't worry about making money, worry about nothing, just sit down with your guitar and let it speak to you and that will make your life better. It will bring beauty into your life. It's a great thing to do."     ---- David Crosby
