Take Away The Guns

about

NEW RELEASE 10/2023. I was hesitant to post this.

Then I took a moment to pray, and God said to me "It's okay to be concerned with what other people think, but right now you are way too worried about what other people will think".

Bathed in political/religious/media overtones, this was written during the 2016 to 2020 ugly political online media era.

Rather than try and explain any further, with the audio and lyrics posted here at BandCamp, I’ll leave the rest up to you.

Peace be with you. Frazier

lyrics

Kill The Babies Take Away The Guns

Sometimes there seems_ no_ in_be_tween,
when one party line_ is_ all_ that's seen.
It's hard to make sense_ of_ ending life,
with a gun or with a pill or with a partisan knife.

Kill the babies, take away the guns.
Keep the babies, keep the guns.

It's often portrayed_ in_ simple words.
It doesn't take much_ to_ scare_ the herds.
That's when the money_ starts_ to_ flow,
And that's_ what_ every_ rotten*_ politician_ knows.

Kill the babies, take away the guns.
Keep the babies, keep the guns.

I may lean this way more than that,
but working together is where it’s at.
I’ll try and understand your pain,
all I ask of you is that you try and do the same.
