On Angels' Wings : Second Flight (with David Dunham, Guitar)

.. and what will our centurions say when all the colors fade to gray where they used to run wild and free?
Put a fence around it.
You can charge admission then. 
If we raze it they will come. It's not "if" but "when".
And, all the money makers say God's beauty shouldn't be free.
Some see our perfect world: others opportunity.
Put a fence around it.

Back in 1981, there was a major news item on the front of the tabloids involving two young teenagers who had committed suicide in a car. They left a note saying that there was no point in carrying on living as they had no job and no money. Unemployment was the highest it had ever been at that time, so it made the headlines. This song was my comment. There was nothing great about the Thatcher government and yes, I was there. (Terry Reeves)

LYRICS

Work hard at school and you will succeed
Get the pieces of paper that you need
You will get there if you are the best
But what happens to us, all the rest

CHORUS
NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT
NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT

Discipline will curb your greed
Much more training's what you need
It's better now than it's ever been
Hard times like these we have never seen

CHORUS X 2

Lets tell the truth and not live a lie
No piece for us of that money pie
The youth are the future that's what we're told
But what will they tell us when we're too old

CHORUS X 2

So what's the point in carrying on
Growing up is just one big con
Haven't listened to a word that's said
Perhaps you'll listen when I'm dead

NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT
NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT

Terra Sapiens - Der Schwarze Geist

Early in this new century, an increasing number of (theretofore relatively passive) Americans began to grow leery of the "progress" they were seeing in society.  To them, it felt not like progress, but more an erosion, or even a distortion - specifically, disortion in society's institutions: education, entertainment, government, business, media, and just culture in general.  In 2016, these frustrated Americans managed to elect a president who spoke to their concerns. 

Contrary to media narrative, the vast majority of the new president's supporters were (and are) fully aware of his faults, but they had learned through past failures that this media machine would crush any ordinary candidate, or president.

In this song, written in the fall of 2020, I try to make a case, not for the enigma / phenomenon that is our most recent past US president, but for the people who had finally learned that trying to please or appease wasn't working.  Somebody needed to come in and break things.
