Story Behind The Song

I've had it with the current ex president.

Song Description

I don't usually write political songs but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Lyrics

Tattered

Bm
I'm tired of this world
D
and over production
A
Phony forgiveness
Bm
hidden corruption
Bm
I've had it with all those
D
seeking direction
A
Listening to someone
Bm
else's reflections
G
The ones so obsessed
F#m
with status and greed
A
Who can't stop collecting
Bm
the things they don't need
Bm
Give me a break
D
my interest is flagging
A
I've had quite enough
Bm
of nations attacking
Chorus
G D
I'm out of my chair I won't remain quiet
A Bm
when innocence dies sincerity riots
G D
In five generations they'll understand

A G
If we put the new world in the palm of their
Bm
hands

2
They think they are clever
with a turn of a phrase
Smirk as they wallow
in undeserved praise
Miss information
for things you hold dear
Something you loved
into something you fear
-The TV is bursting
with nonsense and fluff
Snake oil and liars,
I'm sick of this stuff
I'm changing the subject
away from the past
When truth's an illusion
I'll stick to the facts
CHORUS
3
Our house is divided,
who says it will stand
A banner is tattered,
so strike up the band
This picture ain't pretty
but don't look away
Their guns are all loaded
tomorrow's today
-Jesus and Buddha
with tears in their eyes
Let philistines turn
their truth into lies
The ground starts to tremble
The heat starts to rise
Hurricanes howl
Mother earth cries
CHORUS
