about

This song hopefully conveys the message that its time to change the rhetoric away from the politics and lack of civility in our culture.

lyrics

The person in the mirror used to be right as rain
Used to laugh and cry but now just feels the pain
People think they know you, but I don’t know they think at all
Waiting for the day, it’s all gonna hit the wall
Don’t ask me how I feel cause I’ll just say I’m doing fine maybe
I won’t tell you what is real, I’m just doing my time baby

Trying really hard not to play those cards cause I don’t want to be that clown
Walking a tightrope trying hard not to look down

He claims he’s right but he’s always pushing me around
She’s thinks she’s good but somehow brings me down
Talking heads on the tube, ringing out futility
A graceless age cries out for civility
Don’t ask me how I feel cause I’ll just say I’m doing fine maybe
I won’t tell you what is real, I’m just doing my time baby

Trying really hard not to play these cards, cause I don’t want to be that clown
Walking a tightrope trying hard not to look down

Gonna take some common sense to turn this thing around
Walking a tightrope trying hard not to look down

Robert Johnson Howard Newport, Rhode Island

Writing and recording is my passion. Its like a painting. It doesn't do any good stuck in my head so I might as well get it out before it drives me to cut my ear off.
