Ain't there just a worldwide sty of rancid porcines out there...🐷🐽🙄. Thanks for teaching me defcon 1. Had to look it up.👍

Hey Joe man, love the message of this song. Not taking the bait is a guiding principle I use to navigate my relationships not only with my friends, family, and neighbors, but with my fellow musicians on here. You have to ask yourself, what is the purpose of my communication? Is it to be right about something that I'm obviously not going to change any minds about, or is it to strengthen a relationship with someone I value? This song is particularly pertinent in the social media age. Great song, my friend!

great great lyrics....hard to fight stupid..

Joe! Fantastic as always mixing comedic art with a gut punch.

Feels like we’re just creatures in a zoo
Living with eight billion angry souls
Someone needs to put up a big sign that says
Don’t feed the angry trolls

They say you shouldn’t wrestle with a pig 
Because in the end you’ll both get dirty
But the pig will actually have fun
And you’ll need a shower when you’re done

When someone tosses red meat at you
You can make the decision not to chew
You can be like Dirty Harry - say make my day
But sometimes it’s better to walk away

You don’t need to go straight to defcon one
With some random jerk who likes to argue for fun
You don’t need to start world war three
Just because you disagree

People out there who are like pigs
And they try to drag you into the mud
They’re out there trying to provoke
They make you angry and they think it’s all a joke

For days you’ll replay the argument in your head
While every night the pig sleeps comfortably in his bed

Everyone thinks they’re right
They don’t want to admit that maybe they were wrong
They’ve had opinions for so long
Sometimes you just have to let it go
And realize that you’re not goanna change their mind
Keep moving forward don’t look behind

When someone tosses red meat at you
You can make the decision not to chew
You can be like dirty Harry - say make my day
But sometimes it’s better to walk away

If you’re going through life trying to make it through your busy day
And a pig comes along with something provocative to say
Just let it go in one ear and out the other side
Don’t let that pig take you for a ride
Don’t feed the pigs
Just let them pontificate 
and go about your business 
and don’t take the bait

Why can’t we all just get along
Hold hands and sing that kumbaya song
Why can’t we all just get along
and accept the fact that sometimes we're wrong
Why can’t we all just get along
Hold hands and sing that kumbaya song

Don't Feed The Pig

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs. 
Recently I have had the urge to pick up my guitars (Taylor 114ce and Fender Squire) and I have been trying to use more guitar in my songs.  
My go to .vst plug ins are  EZkeys 2, EZ Bass and  EZ drummer 3) and my DAW is Logic Pro 11. 
I welcome your comments and enjoy listening to all the great music on SoundCloud.
