I’m done preaching, nobody’s listening

Guess I’ll write another song

Antiquated laurels for yesterday’s morals

Who will miss them when they’re gone…

 

Friends in need and gods of greed

But no freedom to choose

Living for sake of a prayer too late

With nothing left to lose

 

If salvation is yesterday’s news

Then ignorance is no excuse

 

We take too much credit

We redefine the truth

We sell freedom for profit 

And give the Devil his due

 

Eternal trust in a spec of dust

This universe that we roam

Given freely but owned completely 

No safe place to call home

 

I’m done preaching, nobody’s listening

The wheat is choked by chaff

No laurels for yesterday’s morals

Guess who treads the grapes of wrath…

 

You can sell your soul but do the math

Dig your hole, man’s pride never lasts

This is one I wrote out of spite... You see, many try to explain to me these days that, in our current hyper polarized political environment, I should probably be careful not to be such a "conservative constitutional Christian..." Well... I'm proud to say I did it anyway lol!

Tony, you know I disagree with you on just about everything LOL, but this is a great lyric. I love the sound too, although I think it would be even better if about half way through you let the melody really take off, maybe adding a rhythm guitar to help the bass carry the beat and allowing you to really sing with the melody instead of just over the beat. I could be totally wrong about that, but a line like "No laurels for yesterday’s morals" oozes melody.

Having said all that, it sounds great as it is 🙂

I may or may not be an enigma

My goodness, I love these lyrics. They feel particularly relevant right now.

Thanks Phoebe! Yea, I believe greed is really at the heart of "ALL" political discourse today... I shouldn’t have to vote for the "lesser of two evils..." Sign of the times ?
