I'm an acoustic six-string and electric bass player/song writer. Producing meaningful, non-cliche lyrics is tough, but someone has to try to do it! If you're a lyric writer seeking melodies and like what you hear here, maybe we could work together.

Lyrics
One step forward - two steps back The world's going crazy in a Cadillac Driven by a man in a 10 gallon hat Who says he's doing what's right. There's a fellow works hard on his patch of land In a place far away from where we stand He wants to feed his family - he doesn't want to fight But the man with the plan has his country in a vice CHORUS We've all seen a seed in a plastic cup The roots go down and the shoots grow up It's the way things happen if they're given a chance But the Man's always cutting on nature's dance CHORUS We learn it in the sandpit; we learn it as we grow We learn it in the playground; we learn it as we go But the Man needs reminding - he only wants to fight It doesn't take a genius to know what's right. CHORUS Some vote yes, some vote no Some can't vote cos the Man says so But the Man don't care what the voters say When there's oil in the pipes and bombs in the bay... CHORUS
