lyrics

the news is so bad they've got to censor the truth
have mercy on these desensitized youth
while liberty's asleep did you get your fill
why the ones with power always counter god's will
it's the only life we know
so why should we suppose
that strife will never let us go
& we'll never find our way home
people running so fast they never look around
pretend they can't see the sky is falling down
how crooked & dark can you make your dreams
are we righteous enough to handle being free?
it's the only life we know
so why should we suppose
that strife will never let us go
& we'll never find our way home
day after day we keep losing time
while doubt & fear push our dreams aside
we're small talk from the view above
fighting private wars until we learn to give love
it's the only life we know
so why should we suppose
that strife will never let us go
& we'll never find our way home

from Elusiville, released July 4, 2008
That's me on slide going for an ode to George Harrison.. and Ted is playing the great George Harrison-esque acoustic rhythm part and nice organ part.. he also put some 12-string electric on the bridge.. a strange coincidence while tracking.. a telephone rang at the top of the 2nd verse.. it not only complimented the lyric but was in the right key!
