about

One of several tunes developed as an experiment with sounds, beats and lyrics. In this case, if you want to change the world, if you even want to survive...you need to pay attention to what's going on around you. Try a listen with headphones.

lyrics

You've heard it all before, they said make love not war.
But every single day, the story stays the same.
The peace sign on your shirt, the 'Love' scrawled on your hand,
The safety of your fort, is where you make your stand.

Oh - Don't close your eyes. You need to see these things.
You need to see these things.
Oh - Don't run and hide. You need to see these things.
You need to see these things.

You rage on travesties, from in your Facebook group,
You want to change the world, but don't want to get hurt.
And when you push away and step out on the street,
Your pride begins to hide, the troubles at your feet.

Oh - Don't close your eyes. You need to see these things.
You need to see these things.
Oh - Don't run and hide. You need to see these things.
You need to see these things.

I read the news today, about the pain of war,
Four thousand holes they say and still they wanted more.
I saw a man in chains - of gold around his neck.
Wants to give back some day - that hasn't happened yet.

Oh - Don't close your eyes. You need to see these things.
You need to see these things.
Oh - Don't run and hide. You need to see these things.
You need to see these things.
