The working title for this one was Putin On The Fitz, because it was to be about a nobody-wannabe who rises to power through hate & violence, then throws a fit that kills millions. Sadly those folks are often called leaders.

I wasn't happy with the results and was about to throw this one in the maybe-get-back-to-it-someday pile, but then I asked Dave Bell (Blue Attitude) to play some guitar. WOW! It became a jam song. We played a lot of songs together, sometimes me on his track, sometimes him on mine. This was a case of the latter. Still it always amazing me how without contriving it, we often manage to blend so well together. So the solo and extended ending are the only worthwhile parts that remain. Fun jam, Dave.

Your comments and suggestions are always the best part of a song for me. Thanks everyone.

The Devil's Debutante

I saw the monkey walkin' in the shadows slithering through the trees.
His snake-like movements reflecting inner battles suggests the world he sees.
He is such a sight we could almost call him human, but not the kind we want.
He smiles a lot, but evil shines right through him, the devil's debutante.

He took the stage while keeping others busy, then took all that they had.
He wants to lead. What kind of leader is he? He's worse than merely bad.
He's not unlike so many of our leaders so power hungry and cruel.
This pyschopath won't tolerate the cheaters who break his blackened rule.

BRIDGE: The devil's debutante taking what he wants, and giving nothing back to us.
The devil's debutante taking what he wants, and leaving none for us in his dust.

There comes a time when good folks gotta gather to the dying pleas.
It's time to shine, and this time's gotta matter. The whole world needs some peace...
from the devil's debutante


Enjoy whatever happens!
