this righteous bent
to twist the facts
your right to speak
and fuel the flames

oh this hankering
for the good old days
when you could call a spade a spade
and close your eyes

would you go back
use words that cut
dehumanized
and fueled the flames

the world's gone mad
well so you say
let's just call a spade a spade
and close our eyes

well littlejohn
we've all moved on

today we treat each other with some respect
these days we choose our words more thoughtfully

i'd rather be
politically
correct
than filled with hate
it's you that's mad
with what you say
when you call a spade a spade
and close your eyes

well littlejohn
we've all moved on

today we treat each other with some respect
these days we choose our words more thoughtfully
a man's a man for all that
we're all jack tamson's bairns

This is very cool, Jim! I love the 80's sounding synth beat.

Damn, it's awesome - Free flowing smooth lyrics that carry me away!

Fantastic, bro!!

Hypnotic groove! Jazzy chord changes remind me a bit of Steely Dan (I've been trying to put some of that into my own piano playing). Smooth vocals that float in all the right places.
