about

This is the second version of this song that I wrote. The first was more of a sad ballad about 9/11. As the years passed, I got angrier and angrier about how people had twisted the event to support their own venal ends. I worked for FEMA down at Ground Zero, and I lived with those ghosts for a long while.

lyrics

Bang! The gun it’s a smoking now
Hey, ain’t nobody joking now
The hand that has been stroking you,
You know that’s a chokin’ you
Faith, the hand that keeps on guiding you is
Rage, the fury that keeps blinding you
To the crime and villainy
The angry god that’s killing you

And it’s a long way down
Living with the ghosts of downton
The smoke, the flames, the dirt the dust
The violence is a part of us
And it goes a long way down

Nukes, roaming in Siberia
Shots, in the cafeteria
Fear and mass hysteria
The TV keeps on scaring you to death
Oil, buried in the desert sand
Bombs raining in the holy land
Killing for the holy man
Drillling ‘til the day there’s nothin’ left

And it’s a long way down
Living with the ghosts of downton
The smoke, the flames, the dirt the dust
The violence is a part of us
And it goes a long way down

They keep telling me a saviour’s gonna come
To save the good and leave the rest alone
Ain’t nobody gonna save you from yourself
You’re gonna have to do that on your own

Blood, you know that you keep spillin’ it
Hate, you cannot get your fill of it
No matter what the scripture said
You want to see your nemesis drop dead
God, will always be invisible
But love, can make us indivisibile
We can be invincible
By holding to this principle
