It's been at least 4 months since I wrote this, and it's been sitting around gathering dust for ages - until this morning, when I decided it was time to post it so I can start something new. Originally written with PBGB in mind, but I just can't seem to have any success with my songs in that context at the moment.
Lyrics could really be about anything these days - is it just me, or is the world in a mess - though I suspect the subject matter when I wrote it was the voting public responsible for the current nightmare in US politics. I've said it before: wtf were you thinking!
It's a solo effort - drums by Mason in Drummer.

Dead Man Walking

You’re just a dead man walking
You don’t realise
You’re just a poor fool talking
Like all the other guys
D#9
Dead man walking
F9
Poor fool talking

D#9
Dead man walking
F9
Poor fool talking
Another blind man watching
Was there another way?
You must be hard of hearing
You had so much to say
Dead man walking
Poor fool talking
Dead man walking
Poor fool talking
BRIDGE: | G7 | G7 | C | C | F9 | F9 | Fm7 | Gm7 |
You’ve got so much to say
But I don’t know what you mean
I hear the words OK
But I can’t read in between
Sometimes I wonder
Did you learn anything at school
You’ve got so much to say
Not saying anything at all
SOLO
I’m hearing what you’re saying
But I don’t understand
I see the game you’re playing
See through your messy plans
Dead man walking
Poor fool talking
Dead man walking
Poor fool talking
You got my blood near boiling
I didn’t understand
Your squeaky wheel needs oiling
You need to kick some cans
Dead man walking
Poor fool talking
Dead man walking
Poor fool talking
Dead man walking
Poor fool talking
Dead man walking
Poor fool talking
Dead man walking
Poor fool talking
Dead man walking
Poor fool talking
