Dr. CE

Acoustic rock and folk rock with country, blues, and American Songbook influences.

Formerly "Dr. C and the Stratocats," I'm now on a solo career as "Dr. C," but I had to change my stage name here because someone else had already claimed it. My music strives for melody above all else; I strive to make my songs memorable, so you can whistle a tune immediately. I see melody as the element most lacking in contemporaryr music. I love Sinatra and the Beatles, Gordon Lightfoot, Paul Simon, anyone who can write a memorable "tune."

Story behind the song

I was fed up with the plague of narcissism.

Lyrics

What Will You Do?


Let me tell you, people
It’s a dirty shame
When no one’s responsible
And everyone else is to 
blame.  

If you step on a nail  
You want to sue your shoe  
for assault,
If you end up in jail
Must be your parent's fault-- 

Chorus: What will you do when you realize no one’s responsible for you?

All you whiners and leeches, 
Fake homeless and crazy, 
You want to bring down the rich 
Just to elevate the lazy, 
Reward all the loafers, 
Promote every pest, 
steal your neighbor's taxes 
Just to buy you a new TV footrest-- 

chorus 

I met a young skinhead 
With a Viking tatoo, 
He liked to bash queers 
Just for something to do, 
Then I met a young student, 
Leather briefcase in tow, 
He'said he'd major in anything 
That brought maximum dough-- 

chorus 
- 
Not even Jesus ~ 
could untangle this mess
where a man feels entitled 	•. 	"" 
From his very first breath.
It's the schools that don't teach you 
And the doctors don't care, 
And the churches no longer reach you, 
Life just isn't fair! 

chorus
