Billy I Am Ruined, Too

I hope at some point in our collective history that the day will come when the good common sense that is within all of us will rise to the surface and silence the endless destructive chatter of selfish leaders, crazy social media blogs  and we will recall how connected we are in purpose.priorities and goals

it's not ok to kill then pray
it doesn't make it better
the pools of blood you spilled today
will stay with you forever

it's not ok to hate someone
you've never seen or touched
hate can never replace love
your sorry isn't good enough
your sorry always comes too late
open your eyes and let's change our fate

what will it take
for us all to see the light
we are all connected
together we make it right
there's plenty of good
it's been too quiet too tame
time to speak out
put the shouters to shame

it's not ok to keep taking
until everything has turned to dust
empty words will never cure
what hateful acts make us all endure

it's hard to think clear
when everyone's shouting
and no one wants to hear
what the other one's saying
you've shut your eyes, you've shut your ears
your common sense has been replaced by fear

what will it take......

you say God gave you the right
to take the first shot
they say God gave Them the right 
to do the same to you
do you think God is a liar??
Who are you trying to fool??

what will it take....

what will it take??

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0578 (details see below): Make music for the year of the rabbit.

Everything started with the inspiring fieldrecording "rabbit drinking" (https://freesound.org/people/BeeProductive/sounds/376187/) kindly provided by BeeProductive on freesound.
I cut that recording into sections ressembling a drum-loop and built everything on top. Drums and bass follow the rabbit's rhythm of drinking, more instruments were added.
A song to celebrate the rabbit - also when drinking water!
