the nation sings the blues

 


The nation sings the blues

The strumming patterns aren't in rhythm

The sound of melody whoring without rules

The ears pick up erratic distortions


The people sing the blues

Like the nation the crying bell

Ring it loud but deaf can't hear

Busy branding power; counting the rays


The land sings the blues

The natural ecology slowly disappears

By the greedy land grabbers joining with authority

Destroying nature the bad wind ringing its anger


The back door busy playing games

The committees of talking nothing in blues

Rocking Rona keeps rising its bar

It has no answer to put out the flames


The nation sings the blues

The people crying bell

The back door busy playing games

It has no answer to put out the flames
