Podcast #34 - Podsafe Song About Political Hyprocracy, Repression and Clergy Gone Wrong.
A song that responds to wrongs done gravely by politicians and clergy
alike.
Em B7 Em B7 Em
Once the myth becomes a nightmare
G
D Em Am B7 Em
Wherein church abuses lie
Em B7 Em B7
Em
Some ordained become false prophets
G D Em Am B7 Em
Blinded to the real most high.
G D Em B7
Some will
say you work within it.
Em Am Em Am B7
Others cry out "topple
down."
Em B7 Em B7 Em
Babylon will fall unaided
G D Em
Am B7 Em
Safety has no golden crown.
When your leaders all disgrace
you
Time will come the youth shall lead
Truth prevails slow but
surely
Turning you away from greed.
Piecing back the myth together
Look to
what your elders taught
Peace can't come when love's perverted
Victory's only
in battle not fought.

The driving melody fits the message of determination very well, Marco. I'd like to see the message more unified. That youth are disillusioned by the hypocrisy of religious leaders seems to veer into a cry for peace(. . .in the "church"?). And how does "a battle not fought" lead to victory? A nice irony, but not clear.
As you've seen from the booth we have a SOA Watch, the Progressive Catholic Coalition is attracting young people as it wages the "battle being fought" for financial and moral transparency in the church [in counter-distinction to the Diocese of Bridgeport CT].
