Moody ballad with world feel
Original guitar rock, blues and pop. Background in piano, drums and guitar. I play by ear and have played drums professionally off and on over the years.
Story behind the song
Going for something a little different. Take a guess at the time signature. I'm still not sure
Lyrics
Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
Please don't tell me how, to live or to die
Just leave - me - be, to go off and cry
Can't take - this feeling, I say with a sigh
I only want my freedom, let sleeping dogs lie
So why - deceive me, by spreading this tale
That all is so grand, and no one can fail
Not everyone wins, cause some are just frail
While others just wait, and stand by the rail
So many go hungry, day after day
Where are all the heroes, who could show us the way
Our leaders do nothing, never willing to pay
Everyone's talking, with nothing to say
The world is for the many, with plenty to share
So why are there few, who really do care
It's true that in life, some things are not fair
But that shouldn't mean, we leave the shelves bare
No hope for the timid, they will lose this fight
For everyone's caught up, in their own delight
More wars and widows, with no end in sight
They profit and they pander, to evils delight
