The Simple Truth
(c) 2022 Citizen Regen

Verse 1.
The opiate of the masses
Are the rose colored glasses, we wear
They say they keep us safe and sane
Hoping we will never complain

PreChorus.
Something doesn’t seem quite right
As they rob us blind like thieves in the night
Like thieves in the night

Chorus:
The simple truth is hidden by magicians
All dressed up like caring politicians
They act as they know what we need  
All the while feeding their greed

The politicians are feeding their greed 
The politicians are feeding their greed 
The politicians are

Verse 2.
Deny, deny and lie once more
It's what's at the core, of them
The talking heads talking all day
Hoping things will stay that way

repeat PreChorus and Chorus

The politicians are feeding their greed 
The politicians are 

Bridge:
Long after we are dust on the plains
And they have squandered all their gains
A new breed will be tightening their reins
And will keep the world forever in chains

Synth Solo
Guitar Solo

Verse 3.
Smoke and mirrors are child's play
A new scheme today, is hatched
Misdirection makes us look away
From all they do and all they say

repeat PreChorus 
repeat Chorus

The politicians are feeding their greed 
The politicians are like thieves in the night

repeat Chorus

The politicians are feeding their greed 
The politicians are like thieves in the night

The simple truth

Metal masterpiece guys !

Comes complete with glissando synth, totally works here. Also, shout outs for that low growly vocal harmony, not overdone, but so effective.

Those are some cool protest lyrics, makes me want to kick something, but I got neighbours, and can only enjoy in the safety of  headphones, for now . . .

Great stuff.

A great start guys!  I'm looking forward to the final, award winning, version once the cowbell's been added! ??

(Fun aside, it must be good 'cause it crashed my browser while listening to it! ? )

We're so badas  troublesome that we crash the internet ?

I'm wondering what Arthur C Clarke would say?

If this song is a harbinger of the future, I hope that future is 10 billion light years away.

Arthur would just nod ;)

Not even we can predict the future, and stuff.

(PS. lightyear is not time related, but a measure of distance ? Sorry!?)

Politician the world over they speak with forked tongues, never answering the  question asked only the  question they want. 

Grinding it home the message here, mix seems quite reasonable here. 

Thanks, Wooks.

Pretty poetic answer ?

?'s to all

?

t

one quick comment; whenever I see a tune is going to run 5+ minutes I can't help but think "oh boy" (and not in a good way).
However, this did NOT seem like its 5+; and that's a big Well Done! here...
so one more ?'s

Thanks for listening and positive feedback, Tom.

All the best.

Really nice. Lots going on, but everything sounding clean and punchy. Great musicianship all-round too. Loved the effect of the short pause at 3:20. Well done everyone!

Thanks for listening and positive feedback, Antler.

All the best.
