No band, just me and I'm no performer
Story behind the song
As equal opportunity offenders, we're trying to find some humor in a not so funny time.
Lyrics
WISH YOU WELL
© Jim Purtell & Ricki E. Bellos
Half of us are paralyzed in blue
Hoping all those promises come true
The rest are tangled up in red
Fearing the future ahead
There’s a lot of talk, not much walk, no one’s listening
We can’t all be right, still we fight, the gap is widening
We sling some mud, tell some lies
Swear we’ll never compromise
But I really do wish you well
We believe the status quo has changed
The more it does, the more things stay the same
With some more equal than the rest
Most have to get by on less
Mr. Greed sleeps with Lady Liberty, the joke’s on all of us
These lust attacks behind our backs have stripped away the trust
We sling some mud, tell some lies
Swear we’ll never compromise
But I really do wish you well
I’m reminded when I see your face
We’re running in the same human race
We need to make someone pay, don’t want it to be me
But if you think we’re on the brink should we be making tea
We sling more mud, tell more lies
Swear we’ll never compromise
But I really do wish you well
But I really do wish you well
I really do wish you well
