This song was inspired by some nasty things a friend is dealing with when a racist, sexist, homophobic, redneck bully moved in next door.

Bad Dream (2024, Dave Bell)

Three steps forward and two steps back
how did things get so off track
Life was good, or so it seemed
then things changed, like a bad, bad dream

Why do people still have to live in fear
judged for for what they believe,
and the people that they hold dear

The more things change the more they stay the same
ain't no way to win in this losing game
Like a spider in it's web always being there
evil remains, just has a different name
