Smoke And Mirrors

Our country was a sacred place before they laid that plan to waste and leader after leader told their lies
Why did we let it go this far? Until they told us who we are and our allies turned away with their goodbyes.
Have our memory banks been robbed? When you read your eyes are mobbed by anything you'll understand as clear.
Take a fresh good look outside my friend when the sun is shinging look again and all the road will look like smoke and mirrors.

(Chorus) - High time goodbyes
to blind eyed war pride.
My side your side.
My my bye bye.

Kiss your growing family bye and turn around until you die because the world is always in arms of dirty war
They'll use your blood to sanitize the image of the final prize but why is blood the dollar of the poor?
I hope you get your swivel chair and you can look around for air shackled to your silly dream career
and take a fresh good look outside my friend and when the sun is shining look again and all the world will look like smoke and mirrors.

(Chorus)

With these tall tales you disagree but have you looked around to see? The cancer of this world is growing fast.
Nobody lives without the time and ordinary life is a crime like a ripped up sail hanging from a mast.
It's cruel to be kind when you can see some mastermind on TV
grinning ear to ear.
Take a fresh good look outside my friend and when the sun is shining look again and all the world will look like smoke and mirrors.

(Chorus).

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
