I was storing a bass guitar for my friend Dave Peterson in my studio and decided to play around with it. This was the first piece I composed and the inspiration for this album. The lyrics are about how the extremist pundits have polarized our society to the point where everyone has an us vs them mentality, and intelligent dialogue is no longer possible.
lyrics
There is no black and white,
red and blue,
just me and you,
and we just disagree.
Get on the merry-go-round,
it was fun when you were a youth,
compete for a bite of the sound,
who cares for the truth.
I see your point, you work hard,
what's fair is fair,
so why despair,
that you can't see mine.
Get on the merry-go-round,
it was fun when you were a youth,
compete for a bite of the sound,
who cares for the truth.
Money flows like to like,
like water do,
from me to you,
why expect different.
Get on the merry-go-round,
it was fun when you were a youth,
compete for a bite of the sound,
who cares for the truth.
Wave a cape, create a buzz,
with simple fear,
you can steer,
the mind of the public.
Get on the merry-go-round,
it was fun when you were a youth,
compete for a bite of the sound,
who cares for the truth.
