lyrics

Sorrow's Anthem
c. '16 Vlayman


Onna crowded boat they hope will float
On their backs is all their clothes
Fleein' from the helicopters
Barrel bombs and what comes after
Some ain't got no documents and
And some ain't got no descendants
And some has lost their young parents
Who knows what comes after

Sorrow's anthem izza siren
Can't help but hear all the cryin'

Payin' off at the garrisoned border
Let's hear it for the new world order
Gold and hash and woolen goods
They'd sell it all if they only could
To get beyond this ravaged land
From the bombed out cities and the barren sand
To try to find themselves somewhere more kind
To try and find themselves a better life

Sorrow's anthem izza siren
Can't help but hear ll the cryin' 2x

There's them what come from foreign lands
They promise and claim they have a plan
There's them what say this cannot stand
To make a peace upon this land

Sorrow's anthem izza siren
Can't help but hear all the cryin' 2x

about

Vlayman Chicago, Illinois

Fat, bald and old - could I be anymo' rock-n-roll?
I play guitar, bass, some keys and percussion, and I try to vocalize. I write and record, and I do so obsessively. Also, I like martoonies, a lot, and I raise my kids, whom I also like, a lot.
Look for me at the TapeOp and TalkBass forums, where I'm vvv, or in various bars in the Loop.
