This song is my protest song for peace! We are all born in our own skins and are all the same, yet so different (but I still don't get how people vote for John Howard or Dubya)

Artist picture
Female singer songwriter story telling about life, love, politics, childbirth, babies, PND, sex and all that jazz.
I write and play what I hear in my head (some people say you are crazy if you hear things in your head!) I am not perfect or outrageously talented but I try to make the best music I can. If something I have written makes you feel something then I feel that I am a successful music artist! I cannot be bothered writing a heap of hype. Suck it and see!

Story behind the song
After John Howard's government was returned to power in Australia last election, I was amazed to hear some of my friends saying they had actually voted for him despite him leading us into a war we didn't want, this government's attrocious record on treatment of refugees and their gutting of the Australian Industrial relations system. It mainly came down to a fear of interest rates going up and them not being able to afford their mortgages. I realised that I probably have more in common with another mother in Iraq than I would with the Australian prime minister or those who voted for him.
Lyrics
Vs 1 You don't look like me Or talk like I do You don't live like me But we're both someone’s daughter You might think like me and I love like you and I wonder why we kill each other's brother Ch Everyone We are all born in our own skin Everyone's heart bleeds the same way when it's broken Vs 2 You look just like me And talk like I do But we're worlds apart Cos you don't think like I do I'm a refugee You're a tin soldier I'm the president And you're a freedom fighter Ch Middle And you're just like me Though worlds apart It's not easy to Love Love your enemy Vs3 You are not like me I am not like you Cos you don't want all the things I ever wanted Like a peaceful world And a happy one Not only for me But for everyone Ch Vs 4 I was never meant to be just like you (x3) In this universe there are many truths Ch
