Nothing to laugh about though the story is amusing. He went in to hospital for an operation and fought with the nurses believing the Illuminati wanted his body parts. Not long after returning home he was found early one morning in his dressing gown fully equipped with bandolier and double barrel coach gun. His son had to the rescue and relieve him of the offending weapon. His son told me that he wouldn't have had the strength to pull the hammers back any way. Sad but also funny in away. So being a sucker for a good story I took some poetic licence and wrote what I hope you are about listen to. One small item I must explain is all my original BB files are on a external hard drive that decided to stop working so I cant give any real details on the style. The song was however edited in Reaper. I hope you like it. Regards Rob https://soundcloud.com/ironbarkbob/the-illuminatis-coming Oooh the Illuminati's coming Oooh . I had a thought just the other day the Illuminati's'coming gonna take me away. I have my coach gun and a bandolier hide the pumpkin patch drinking beer. The Illuminati's coming gonna take me away. I'm gonna kick and scream I'm gonna have my say. I've got my dressing gown tied in a bow I know Karate but they don't know. I saw some old coot just snooping around his trouser where black but his shoes where brown. The Illuminati's coming gonna take me away. I'm gonna kick like a mule I'm gonna make them pay. Chorus They wanna take little pieces of my brain. They wanna take a cross section of my spleen. Wanna know what I know wanna know where I've been. Fill Chorus They wanna take little pieces of my brain. They wanna take a cross section of my spleen. Wanna know what I know wanna know where I've been. I heard em talking on the old Morse Code. Called up the police wanna block the road. The Illuminati's gonna wreck my day saw ten of em hiding in a bale of hay. The Illuminatis's coming gonna take me away. Ill get some salt and peter I'm gonna give em a spray. They got my DNA from a postage stamp. Down by the creek there's a CIA camp. Cameras and mikes hidden in the trees right next to my hive of African killer bees. Hey wrote this on in the last few months. The Illuminati's coming gonna take me away. While the sun is shinning I'll be smiling today. Chorus They wanna take little pieces of my brain. They wanna take a cross section of my spleen. Wanna know what I know wanna know where I've been. Oooh the Illuminati's coming Oooh the Illuminati's Oooh Last edited by Rob4580; 01/14/15 10:59 PM. https://soundcloud.com/ironbarkbob https://open.spotify.com/artist/6IPuZM4B48Drnd38DEWC7L https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoXdTc0EC_3aaZSqT4dyzug Using Studio One.

Humor from a difficult subject is not easy to achieve but you've done a nice job. I've had the pleasure to listen to your three recent User Forum posts and I'm becoming quite a fan.

Pat Marr Veteran Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 8,075 Winston-Salem, NC	Hi Rob, I thought you had a little bit of Elvis going on there. The whole style of the song could eaily have been something he'd have done. And there is a resemblance in your voice. What an irony that we claw our way through this life to whatever degree our intellect will allow... until time steals the intellect and hands us over to life, only to have even that stripped away in the end. Good job https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ey71h8ep047758h/AAC12jNM0Hz9Q8zsh5iDeqNHa?dl=0
