"One Shot Rock" - original electric jam

[Speed Demon]

Hardlock, thank you very much for the backing track. It is the backbone of this song now, all due to you.
I've been wracking my brain for a week now, trying to come up with a rhythm for these lyrics and you turned
the light on for me. Stand up and take a bow, my friend!

             Homeless President

I know about life, and all its hard knocks
Lived most of my life, in a cardboard box

Whatever happened, to the American Dream                     
The country is falling, apart at the seams

China came calling, and the country was broke
The politicians proved, they were all just a joke

Politicians and lawyers, headed straight for the hills
They took all the money, and left all the bills

Hey homeless president, tell us where the money went
Hey homeless president, we didn't even get a cent
Hey homeless president, won't you help us pay the rent
Hey homeless president, tell us it was all well spent

The American Dream can only be seen when you're asleep

[Rata-tat-tat]

Great stuff guys.

Wow, for some reason I was never notified of the progress going on here while in the meantime was adding lyrics myself to the tune.  

Here's my attempt by just some cut and paste to the original and adding some words.  Frankly I like Speed's take much better!  Great work as well as message!  

------------------------------------
One Shot Rock
------------------------------------
Life is what you make it
Find your passion, set your pace
Just don't try to fake it
Jump right in the human race.
------------------------------------
Do what you want to do
Just stay focused on your goal
Don't let the man get through to you
For time will always take its toll
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
   You need to try to make it real
   It will be hard, you'll surly feel
   But not to try is to fail for sure
   You can't get well without the cure
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
Everyone gets a chance to win
So better step up and take a spin
The thing you must remember now
Is that it's not the who but how
--------------------------------------
Don't let the man behind the curtain
Try to tell you what is certain
If he knew what was the key
He'd be doing it himself you see
--------------------------------------
   (repeat bridge)
--------------------------------------------

A hell of a good job, Ken. I thought about lengthening the tune a bit, but I didn't want to make radical changes to what you originally posted. You did the real deal. It sends a message quite well.

Have a great day, Ken!
