about

This was written back in the days of MySpace, and I had a bad day and was waiting for my son during his piano lesson. I posted it later that week and to my surprise Kim Niemi (Davidson) read it and put a melody and sent me a draft cut. I still marvel at the spontaneous collaboration. This was released on Dave Zeman "Gypsy Soul" but it has been remixed fuller.

lyrics

The story of Romeo and Juliet just ain’t true.
Lies perpetuated to give false hope to a few.
Opposites may be attracted but they aren’t destined.
In fact they are lucky to even get mentioned.

I walk these streets daily and see the races unite
The Goths aren’t the only who choose to isolate
The voice of the crowd mumbles into noisy chaos.
The thoughts of the few independent are crushed.

I go along walking to find a pocket of a chosen few.
Those young gifted talents still play in silence too.
Is this nature’s destiny, a dumbing of the culture?
Are we just dead meat on the block of the butcher?

SHOUT, SCREAM at the top of your lungs you fool.
But you won’t, because you have been schooled.
Act the part of a door knob and be turned again.
You’re where you are, and where you’re destined.
