Technical Info: WoeToUs.MGU BLANK2s.STY Lyrics: Woe to Us © J Hughes Eyes full of lust Hands quick to steal Hearts filled with hate Ready to kill Woe to us Woe to us Tongues full of lies Lips of deceit Minds filled with pride Greed for our meat Woe to us Woe to us Pillage the ground Beneath our feet Poison the air So we can't breathe Talk about love Sing about peace Build bigger bombs That's our disease Woe to us Woe to us Last edited by Jim; 06/03/19 05:14 AM. Reason: I forgot the dag gum lyrics. Jim †=☮&♥

There are just more pesky people in need of repenting nowadays and the weapons are bigger. But we can always dream... Thanks for sharing.

I wouldn’t say a protest song, but certainly a compelling reminder of humanity’s darker side. Nice work! All the best, Deej

I guess that's the magic in writing good song, so it listens easy, yet carries a lot of weight. Clock ticking theme was a very clever move! P.S. People hear J.Cash presence... I hear more of Leonard Cohen. You and I probably share same "sad song" week Thank you for sharing this! Misha.

Sad, sad message, but the truth often hurts, so no complaints (as it were) about any of it. If the shoe fits ... Loved the ticking clock effect, also. Oh, and one last thing: don't know about Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen or whatever ... this sounds AUTHENTIC and original, 100% ... and that's what I think matters. This is not Cash or Cohen, in my humble and profane opinion ... this really is you, that's how it comes across to me. Hard - no point, even - to analyse this by taking it apart and talk about its "components", as it were. It's the whole thing that leaves one feeling like one's swallowed a dose of truth - which is, again, a very healthy and sobering thing to do from time to time. Great stuff - thank you. My website

What marks our time as the time of this song is that we know what we do and what that does to the planet. Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe
