Cookie Jar --Facemask & AK

[Facemask93]

This is a song reply to a post Tharek did back in feb 2010 , the lyrics were inspired by the picture of a soldier giving candy to local children , it's an mbr  table-top recording , two guitars one vox

Our ways jeopardised , and our lives pressurized
From tormented silence , to frustrated violence
You just did'nt realise
And in your global plans , to tame our ravaged lands
Outcomes unforeseen , blunders in-between
Could'nt hold those shifting sands

And you've caught your hand in the cookie jar
Delicious fruits tasting bitter
Reached inside , opened wide
Leaving crumbs in the litter

Offer tokens of peace , in exchange for my beliefs
Discard veneration , passed down generations
Will my soul ever sleep
And our children we hold dear , you re-school with grand ideas
Past eradicated , new myths propagated
Hiding truth's that we fear

And you've caught your hand in the cookie jar
Delicious fruits tasting bitter
Reached inside , opened wide
Leaving crumbs in the litter

Will this peace give us hope , or your world make us choke
Complicit  governments , and broken covenants
I'm not sure we will cope , how will we ever cope

And you've caught your hand in the cookie jar
Delicious fruits tasting bitter
Reached inside , opened wide
Leaving crumbs in the litter
We're the one's scattered hither , a few crumbs in the litter

[Bluesberry]

Really great song guys.  So full of musical beauty.  This is a great folk song, the real meaning of "folk" in folk songs.

[Tangled Wires]

Wow...brilliant song here!

The "table top" recording just adds to beauty of the song, as I think it works perfectly with just the strummed guitars and vocal, it just doesn't need anything else.

Outstanding stuff!

[Kevin Mammoth]
