From the recording With The Stars In Your Eyes
Another one from way back, here's a 1990s Rap/Heavy Rock thingy, with suitably political lyrics. Written in 2009, I only just got around to recording it at the end of 2017.
I dicked around with the guitar sound for weeks, then I threw my arms up in the air and just went back to how they were originally recorded and BLAMMO! Instant Eddie Van Halen guitar sound. What was I thinking by wanting to change it?
Anyhow, this is a song for when you feel that the system has let you down. RAAAGE!

Well, the Cat In The Hat is sick of your crap
he’s gone walking down the street
and he ain’t never coming back
He heard all about your surprise attack
Million dollar missile
just to blow up a shack
And now your counting your stack,
I’m sure your well in the black
You oughta buy him some smack,
‘cause he’s been smoking your crack for too long
and gone and had a heart attack
Then you give yourself a medal and a pat on the back
Well I don’t see the way you see
You mystify me, Mystify me
And I won’t ever be what you want me to be – no
You mystify me, Mystify me
Well here comes the bro, he’s our last best hope
Another one that blows
But it’s “steady as she goes”
It’s a circus show, another clown, another rose
Where’d the money go? Well everybody knows:
It’s with their amigos
It went up the nose
and into their hoes
Spend a little more on a meeting in a Swiss chateau
And to those below, a penny you throw
...whatever happened to Joe?
Well I don’t see the way you see
You mystify me, Mystify me
And I won’t ever be what you want me to be – no
You mystify me, Mystify me
Then there’s the orange one
Blithering with his thumbs
Promise to get things done
But he’s the same as everyone
You mystify me, Mystify me
And I won’t ever be what you want me to be – no
You mystify me, Mystify me
You mystify me, Mystify me
