Wise Guys

[thetworegs]

The wife went to see the horses and I dove in the cellar and came up with this one all in E....feeling a bit down trodden ..... Thanks for listening

I tell you I want something I need it right now
Something to take me whey up above the clouds
I want to get high I want to learn how to fly
So I can get away from all these wise guys

The wise guys that tell me how I must live
That I must pay that and I must pay this
Life is not just the struggle to pay the man
Its to be lived to understand who I am

I see its  in the children where the struggle begins
Where the parents who teach them pass on their sins
The mistakes of their forefathers passed down to their sons
where their life's are left picking up what's left of the crumbs

The struggle gets harder the map has no key
Its all climbing the hillside with no view to see
The fight for expression overpowered by the heard
The vision of self has become totally blurred
totally blurred
totally blurred
totally blurred

Break

The rulers that rule us they have no soul
All that they want is to reach their goal
To turn us into slaves without a soul
That is their only goal

The rulers that rule us they have no soul
All that they want is to reach their goal

To turn us into slaves without no soul
That is their only goal


But I want to live my life
live it free
I want to live it just for my family and  me

I want to live my life yeah
live it free
I want to live it just for my family and  me x2

This is so cool Regs.  Inspired vocal as always and the arrangement is just perfect.

Love it.

I like the way you go down to the cellar and come out with groovy confessions! It's kinda like: Tworegs... Come out and play! TwooReegs... Come out and play!

The playing in this one is especially groovy. The additional musical flourishes are to the point and the vocals are up to the high Tworegs standards. The weird theremin type of sound started to float me towards China! I had to grab the curtain holder before i floated out of the window...

Seriously cool!

Always love your intros. You should go down the cellar more often if you come up with great songs like this.
Great music all round and keeping it in one key really works.
Lovely vocals and lyrics.

I certainly have not heard all your music but I have all of it over the last 2 plus years and some before as well... to me this is like the pinnacle of your great songs...and there are so many.  For me here not only is your singing the typical Trev star but this time the music rises there and even above it... and then there are the lyrics... which are altogether way too true...

"The rulers that rule us they have no soul
All that they want is to reach their goal
To turn us into slaves without a soul
That is their only goal" 

that right there my friend is 100% true, in fact it is predicted and happening.  The key is they cannot control the mind without our permission.  It is entirely possible to be in chains and still be free... while I hope to never be in chains I am trying to learn to live that way in every situation.

Like the tribal rythm of this one. Like the vocal melody and the lyrics are cool. The piano is a cool touch too. A slice of alternative rock.

Magnificent job on this Trev. The rhythms and sounds are addictive. I get a Chinese vibe, a Blues vibe and a kind of trippy vibe altogether in this one. It is so good. Fantastic playing and just a top, top tune.

This got me hooked right from that opening guitar intro. Your vocal is excellent as always, Trev. Great track and one of my favourites of yours. Cool lyrics and what a great original sound!

[Hook]

I dig the power if the groove and the how it goes all worldly. Very Plantish. Great song!
Rock on!
