The Lyrics
Well, my first foray into the Moody Blues works...this is a wonderful OS...and I was surprised it had never been used on the site yet...I'll let my piece do the rest of my talking for me...
[Dramatic intro - synthesizer music - leading into regular type intro]
Didn't you learn back at school
about this thing, "The Golden Rule"
and just when did you decide
that it was just some corny line?
Oh, think about it, my friend
Oh, man, how we need it
Oh, yeah, think we need it again
let's try it...
When did we trade "Heart" for "Schemes"?
Surrender to "Desire" and "Greed"
Count our lives up like some sum
Will it have meaning when it is done?
Oh, think about it, my friend
Oh, man, do not fear it
Oh, oh, take it back from them
Your Life
Your Life
The folks that are calling the shots here now
Are using your fears to keep you in doubt
They appeal to fear; a folly
Want to scare you so you obey
They count on your buying
distractions that hide their actions
their power they do abuse
You should find this galling
It should be appalling to you
Look down on us
do not doubt
don't trust these weasels
decline to bow
Then demand of those who lead
that they address
our Nation's needs
Oh, ain't it time now, my friend?
Get up; no more kneeling
Come on, say you want them again...
Your "Rights"...
Your "Rights"...
[Instrumental break - with guitar solo]
Oh, man, no more time to pretend
It's now time for healing
In time we'll expel all of them; in time
(but) what time?
Do you see the world as it is today?
You can't help but think that there's a better way
These folks harm our children's future
Can be fixed, but we must act fast
the anger is swelling
it's welled-up; beyond the usual places...
the resentment is coming through
The people are calling
the days of "Stone-walling" are through
This time 'round we must be smart
Must use our heads as well as hearts
When the next election comes
We must do better than this current bum
Next time 'round is crucial, my friends
Reject these Extremists
Take our country back once again, this time
Must not let this kind win again
Need one who can heal us
There's still time before the die is cast
must act fast...
We sure need a leader, again
One who could heal us and set things right....

Well! You discovered the Moody Blues finally. They seem to let you discover your own feelings about a subject, huh? Of course, I don't exactly agree with some of what you said. but I think this is a wonderful parody anyway. Top rate! 5's
good message
Thanks, Pat...yeah, you know, I bought one of their CD's with a collection of stuff on it way back in July and had not really sat down and listened to it with full attention...I like it quite a bit...lot's of good stuff...I had listened before, knew some of the songs pretty well...but no writing ideas of any consequence came to mind...different this time around...got a lot of stuff...(some of which I can't post here...lol)...Thanks, alvin...
More "moo"-dy please! 555
Great job on a great OS - this CD apparently sprouted legs and is hiding from me - lol - I d/l TOS as I couldn't remember exactly how it went by heart. 5s
Tommy T - Thanks!...and...YES...there will be still more "Moody Blues" spewing forth from the corner of the parody-writing universe....actually, I moseyed over this way to pop one in the toaster for tomorrow's entries...very possibly more this week, too...Red, Thanks again! Loved working with these pieces ~ ~ ~
DKTOS, but enjoyed it, very well written!
Thanks, Larry ~ ~ ~
