Our new album S.O.S. is a protest album like the folk music of the 60's. Can you tell who really wrote the lyrics on our album? He wrote lyrics for a great folk artist. Has protest music helped change anything?
THE SHADES OF SORROW
The love driven mother of the ghetto bound child,
Is caught in a quandary that drives her wild,
Broken and busted and burned out and blue,
She knows what is right is something she just can’t do,
Who can she turn to there’s no one there
There’s no one to help her, no one to car.
Lives are being lost in this war without guns,
It’s disturbing to know her fate disturbs no one.
chorus
And the shades of sorrow rage through our land,
Some see them clearly, most don’t understand,
They’re felt in the souls of each feeling man,
The shades of sorrow rage through our land through our land
He runs like the wind, he has hands of glue,
He’s caught all the passes all the passers threw
A university star, it’s all that he needs,
Run spot, jump Dick is all he can read.
They body of a lion, the brain of a pea,
Prime time sports hero at the state university,
No one takes notice except for the score,
His future is a disaster and that’s for sure
chorus
And the shades of sorrow rage through our land,
Some see them clearly, most don’t understand,
They’re felt in the souls of each feeling man,
The shades of sorrow rage through our land.
bridge
He bets on the ball games, so do his friends,
Blind to the fact he’s robbing his family again,
Vegas and casinos are exciting to him,
He’s been stripped of his manhood, his chances are slim,
Nobody cares for the sucker there’s no sorrow for him.
chorus
And the shades of sorrow rage through our land,
Some see them clearly, most don’t understand.
They’re felt in the souls of each feeling man,
The shades of sorrow rage through our land through our land
The ghetto school’s dirty, the teachers don’t care,
You can get an education watching educating there,
In the classrooms they’re simply housing these youths,
There’s no one to tell them the bitter, bleak truth.
(chorus out)
