Story behind the song

Written in 2008 and recorded in 2013. Here is an expression of the human condition - a human being's happiness (life condition) is constantly being effected from both within and without.  Whether any threat is real or merely perceived, the effect can still be substantial unless one's experiences are viewed through an enlightened and aware mind.  Its really all about being proactive, and not accepting being victimized by anyone, especially yourself.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Grew up in the cold war - atomic bombs aimed at my head
Heard the propaganda the brain dead had been fed
In the event of a doomsday blast get under your school desk
Don’t you worry ‘bout the fallout boy, your Uncle Sam knows best

Verse 2
Spent time fighting demons, dodging words aimed at my head
Hung out with a bad crowd, just wishing I was dead
In the event of a breakdown, there’s no miracle pill
The battle is lost or the battle is won, it’s all a matter of will
 
Chorus
Now I’m learning to live, I’m learning to give
I’m learning to think on my own
I’m feeling what’s right and feeling what’s wrong
I feel I can face the world alone
But most importantly I’m learning to stay free
Now that I can see


Verse 3
Grew up in a small town where prejudice was king
Devils with a coward’s heart, masquerading closet queens
In the event that the Klu Klux Klan came calling in the night
Those nigers, fags, and hippies caught hell by firelight

Verse4
Spent time with a woman, oh she was good in bed
But I didn’t need a lover always messin’ ‘round with my head
In the event of getting lost in love, I became to blind to see
Frozen in fear and out of control, and dying in reality
 
Repeat  Chorus X2
