Look the other way

[thetworegs]

Reg has been reading the papers again, it always brings him down, but this time he can't carry on looking the other way and ignoring the news and the facts that the life, the freedoms he holds dear are slowly being dissolved not just by his government but it seems to Reg its the world over that they, the establishment are slowly trying to take his freedoms from him and enough enough its time for action .....but as a team of one Reg doesn't have much of a voice so he decided to write a protest song.... Join the fight ....you get a free badge and a cup of tea at the next meeting down the cellar

They tell me everything is broken
That the doors are open wide
Like King Canute on the waterside
There's no one can stop the tide 
The life we know and loved
is about to be digitised
The old ways that we know are about to be thrown to the curb-side

I say No
No
we can't look the other way
we've got to try and make them listen to what we have to   say

The cameras are going up
The eye is up there in the sky
They watch us through the day
And way into the night
Soon they'll take our cash
and have control of it all
Its then they'll take the stick
And try to beat us all

No

So lets get out there on our feet
And Tell them what is what
Were supposed to live in a democracy
And I tell you, we are not
Slowly their taking our freedom 
And there taking it every day
A little piece here
A little piece  there
There taking it all away
I say No
No
We can't look the other way no more
No we can't look the other way

Break

They tell me everything is broken
That the doors are open wide
Like King Canute on the waterside
There's no one to stop the tide 
They tell us now everything has got to be digitised
That old ways that we know are to be thrown to the curb-side

No
No we can't look the other way
We've got to try and have a say

Great rocking protest song, Trev. Vocals are brill as always and the lyrics cut to the bone.

A fantastic protest song Reg...truth be told from the cellar!

Holy moly, that vocal is killer! Great set of chords and very poignant words, the world is getting crazier by the minute. I really enjoyed this!
