lyrics

Don’t get burned by flame and fire,
Avoid the spit of the funeral pyre
My advice to you for when you’re dead,
Remember the Devil doesn’t always wear red

A culture of fear has taken hold,
So that our lives can be controlled
Controlled by men who are rich, rich but also poor,
With a skin of gold but rotten at the core

The fair, honest man has been forgot,
Respect and manners left to rot
The innocent can be chained in a cell,
But only the guilty board the train to hell...

The golden age has passed us by,
The baby boomers flew so high
All the best songs have been done,
Gimme Shelter, House of the Rising Sun
Blowin’ in the Wind,
Strawberry Fields Forever,
God Only Knows,
50 Ways to Leave your Lover

“The problem is all inside your head
She said to me
the answer is easy,
If you take it logically.
I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free,
There must be,
50 ways to leave your lover
50 ways to leave your lover”
