I wrote the song and sang on it.
I showed Joe the chords on guita, and how I wanted the drums and bass. He played guitars, drums and bass.

Bio

Lyrics

Be yourself

Verse
I had joined the party of people with a lonely life
Overbearing statements which are sold at a sky high price
I recall some stories of people who defined the truth
Arms were flailing eyes were raging they nearly hit the roof

Chorus
Be yourself in life
you don’t need the strife
challenge what you hear
Don’t show any fear
Be yourself and live your life….
Don’t let them drag you down

Verse
Speaking up for freedom is the hardest thing of all to do
dead ends looming X is booming
You’d think we were in a zoo
Can we agree to disagree
and move along to something new
Wake up son you’re an enemy
and be sure we are coming for you

Chorus
Be yourself in life
You don’t need the strife
Challenge what you hear
Don’t show any fear
Be yourself and live your life…
Don’t let them drag you down

middle 8th
I remember life when I was younger
I didn’t have a care in the world
it seems that hatred feeds the
hunger
Or maybe I’m just getting…
or maybe I’m just getting old.
