about

This is a song I wrote for February Album Writing Month (fawm.org) - this brilliant website where every February artists come from all around the world to write 14 songs in 28 days. You can collaborate with others or write on your own and you give feedback to each other. I wrote and recorded this in 2 nights but polished it up and added a few things for the EP.

lyrics

A wise owl man once said this to me
Ask questions; find out your history
Stop repeating and reliving misery
Or others before us have suffered for nothing

As a civilisation we’re failing
Jailing addicts, while bankers be staying in power
With a fresh pot of sterling
And if they screw up again, no worries

It’s not history in school but propaganda
Carefully selected for your nation’s agenda
So you’ll kill any innocent when they send ya
Into the next war, more young defenders

Been talking ‘bout climate change since the sixties
If we wake up now, can we still fix this?
American senators still think its fiction (This should say Donald Trump instead now haha)
And you can’t argue with fools man, that's a given

I won’t force feed my child religion
Problems are fixed with actions not praying
I think that the paradise is us being alive
Heaven and hell can wait till the afterlife

Be good cos you’re a good human being x3
What’ll you do when your gods not watching?

Be good cos you’re a good human being x 3
What’ll you do when no one's watching?

Be good cos you’re a good human being x 3
Not cos heaven or hell might be waiting

Are they watching you now?
Are you checking yourself?
Are you holding it down?
Are you living through living hell?

Everybody's got their own story
I shouldn't criticise how others are coping
If you've seen the light in god and you feel saved
I'll respect your choices to the grave, but
I'm more interested in truth than faith
If there's nothing after we die and I slaved
All those years feeling guilty,
Chipping off bits of myself just to be
Better at some values that I never bought into
To be praying and powerless and waiting
For someone else to sort it all out, I'm just saying
I need to make the most of this life
I don't know whats next
So I'm living in this life

Be good cos you’re a good human being x3
What’ll you do when your gods not watching?

Be good cos you’re a good human being x 3
What’ll you do when no one's watching?
