Another picked country-rock number

Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
Do we all get what we deserve? II fear not and with Pratchett in the view that justice is a human construct – it does not exist out there in the universe in any way!
Lyrics
MC 06We All Get What We Deserve capot 2 so in E not D 110bpm We all get what we deserve D Be it happiness or painG Em All the good and bad we've doneA Listed and numbered one by one Will all come round againD We all get what we deserve Nothing slips below his glance All the honesty and lies Stand as witness in the skies Nothings ever left to chance Old man sitting in a chairA Speaks to friends no longer there Knows his time is coming fastBm Faces the future with a grinA Earnest faith burning within Waits for the reckoning at lastBm So I smile and hold his handG As he awaits his promised land Wishing I believed it tooA Making sense of random luckG Those pretensions I can't duck If only all of it were trueA We all like to live in hope Lets us wander on a rope Thinking that we all are free But no matter how try to beat the roll of the die There is never certainty All to often we are caught As the rope brings up us short By some unexpected turn Faith in justice is misplaced Yet we hope for heavens grace Or fear in hells fires we'll burn We all get what we deserve, What a self-deluding dream If life was a fairer race, It'd make the world a better place Could it be as simple as it seems? We'd all get what we deserve, If we lived knowing this was true That we only get this shot, So make the best of what we've got It's all we need to doBm Then we'd all get what we deserveAD
