Song about a veteran from the Persian Gulf War who testified before Congress after he got Gulf War Syndrome. He couldn't really talk, so his parents read his statement. When asked why he thought the government and military wanted to deny the existence of GWS, he leaned into the mike and muttered "Greed".

My girlfriend at the time was talking about moving from the mountains to the beach. One of those "change of scenery" things. My friend had a place near the river and one day we were back there messing around and I started writing these lyrics. Can't remember how I came up with the chords, but I like 'em.

The River

I wrote this song when I was 23 and it basically sums up how I felt about what I had learned about the world up to that point.  I like the image of a prism in a void of light still finding a way to do its job. This mix has my vocals pitched corrected and is a test mix.
