Smoke and mirrors - musics and lyrics by Bruno

Welcome to this crazy world, progress in the past
Evolution backdrop, a method built to last
Technocratic progress, a sequence at its core
Systematic slowness, can see with all its flaws
Obfuscate reality, I'm no longer sure
Hidden in the bullshit, confuses even more

Smoke, mirrors and bullshit

Sound bites so important, dystopian principle
Welcoming distractions, misdirection is a thrill
What is really happening that's keeping us awake?
Careful worded statement, one slip is hard to fake
Focus in the news room, the generals move their pawns
You're just really an actor, imposter to the throne

An enterprising person, with critical acclaim
Presenting your euphoria, we fight against the pain
Tensions in the factions, there's not a lot of love
To many wounded egos, the scars go hand in glove
So lead me to the future, to a better place
Can we do much better? The thrill is in the chase!

Decided to take this down - not entirely happy with it, will do somemore work and repost! Apologies.

Reworked the lyrics - back up! A song dedicated to all our politicians.

I love a good ballad.

I sincerely appreciate how you follow the muse wherever it leads you. The Kemper sounds killer as always. How are you doing those subtle long notes? Is that just whammy bar abuse? Can't really tell the specifics, but it's effective as well at that volume. Having said that, I'm having a harder time hearing the solo.

Great playing and production. Love that main hammer on riff.

Hey Bruce - yeah, pure whammy abuse with the Kemper providing some very deep echo's :-)

Come on!!!! I saw it last night and crashed...now it's gone. Dude...
