Blood on My Hands

Light it Up

"His Majesty, Prince Jones,
smiled as he moved among the crowd..."

Eric Burdon & the Animals - Monterey

Prince Jones Smiled

Opening Day

Young man dies in an old man's war 
I'm not surprised, I've read that book before

Black man dies in a white man's war 
Don't be surprised, we've heard that song before

Poor man dies in a rich man's war 
Are you surprised? We've seen that flick before

I've Seen This Flick Before

This is one of the first songs I ever wrote circa 1970.  Over 40 years old, the lyrics still ring true today, so I figured I'd make a recording of it...

You lead your people to destruction
The only truth you know are your lies
You cheat us all with your corruption
You're a Judas Goat in disguise

You make promises you can't keep
Without remorse or contrition
Don't know how you sleep at night
Mr. Politician

Betray us all with your corruption
Sell your soul for a single vote
You lead your people to destruction
Just like a Judas Goat
