Liner Notes

Collaboration with Christopher Maine. He wrote about the parallels between today and Nazi Germany, how we can't seem to learn from the past. I (Alice) gave a few lyric tweak suggestions and performed it. #protest #acousticguitar

Lyrics

I am nothing... just a poet

I don’t know how to lie.

I see things clearly...oh too clearly... But I’m not ready to cry.

Let me tell you, what's going on, In my country once so proud, Every thing... we fought against Is embraced by the current crowd.

Do you not remember Hitler’s genocide, “It's for the good of our Country” All those in power lied.

The Gestapo went door to door, Murdered millions callously When their heartless ways were questioned, They said it was for the good of our country. We have our own Gestapo now Gunning people down Who disagree with our leader Who wears a phony crown

.. Where can they run to? Where can they hide,.. When they put a gun to, Innocent children,..a new bride

Killing innocent immigrants Seems like every day Masked soldiers fire into crowds It’s for the good of the USA

This world's coming to an end, It's as clear as clear can be; It's in the hands of evil men The very worst place to be.

But... I am nothing… Just a poet… I don’t know how to lie I see things clearly, oh way too clearly And now it’s time to cry
