Stupid song writing bug allways hits me when I have to get up early. I got in at like 1, figured I could go to bed.. But I had to pick up a guitar. Its allmost 4:30 and Ive got horses to shoe at 8:30am... Heres what I came up with.

Some Brother
(c) 2006 Josh Noone

Eat sleep and dream, I’ll tell you what to fear
I wont steer you unclean, I’ll help you to see clear..
Watch your plastic box, and roll your stupid tear.
Play right into my hands, Big Brother is here.

And why did you give yourself a black eye,
Big brother why did you lie?
And uncle Sam! Well god damn!
How could you, let it happen this way!

And will you run if I tell you to retreat!
Lay down your arms at your feet!
And Burn your books, their full of lies and deceit,
I’ll feed your mind what it needs!

And children no need to pray,
For I am, your god today
And burn those books, there a sickness I cant treat,
I’ll teach you to believe in me

And why did you give yourself a black eye,
Big brother why did you lie?
And uncle Sam! god damn!
You let it happen, this way!!!
And big brother I trusted you!
I’d give my life for the Red White and Blue!
And big brother why did you lie!?
What really happened in the sky?!

And why did you give yourself a black eye,
Big brother why did you lie?

[end]

Any thoughts? What does it make you think?

Thanks
Josh

Anyone who knows anything about writing, songs or otherwise, knows that including the copyright symbol is the appropriate thing to do, since copyright automatically applies at the time of creation of the piece. Registering the copyright with the Library of Congress Copyright Office offers added protection, but in the end, if a copyright battle occurs, it's often "he with the deepest pockets", wins.
 
Good lyrics, very provocative. From what i read into it, it is about imperialism, probably american. Big brother, possibly bush or the system... What was that about, "what really happened in the sky" is that reference to 911. Seems like a conspiracy song, especially with reference to "why did you give yourself the blackeye" Possibly the erosion of american values, and the shift toward neo conservatism, and the deceit that has taken place to push ahead with their plan for the new world order. Im off to read some alex jones, reading david icke
 
I think it needs more exclamation points!!!!

Actually not too bad lyrically - a sorta protest song, no? Anti-Bush? That's cool. reminds me of John Prine. I'd like to hear the melody/accompaniment, which I guess goes with any song lyrics...
 
Good song. Not really a fan of the subject matter, but I won't deny that it's good.
