Nothing But Evil

[artokh74]

Short of ideas, I was reading the newspapers and this song pops up out of nowhere.  It ain't much, but I kind of like the unusual chord progression, and the vocal may be one of my better ones.

A time of innocence and shame 
We sit here in this dying game
I try my best to share the blame
but down here we're all without a name

The crowds queue in a crooked line
to go watch the passing of the time
Someone counts the seconds in
the dying game that no one wins

Lay down low, lay down low,
lay lay down little boy
Lay down low, lay down low,
lay lay down  little girl
Lay down low, lay down low,
lay lay down little child
Ain't nothing but evil  here

I dream about playing as a child
I dream of pictures on the wall
A distorted sound comes roaring in
Cuts off all my dreams within

Lay down low, lay down low,
lay lay down little boy
Lay down low, lay down low,
lay lay down  little girl
Lay down low, lay down low,
lay lay down little child
Ain't nothing but evil  here

Lay down low, lay down low,
lay lay down little boy
Lay down low, lay down low,
lay lay down  little girl
Lay down low, lay down low,
lay lay down little child
Ain't nothing but evil  here

I dream about playing as a child
