brett-hoffman Greg's sensibility & intelligence are again, as always, sensitively & directly conveyed via his clear voice & guitartistry. I feel as if he wrote this song just for me. Thank you, Greg.

about

Like many others, I strugle to make sense of, or say anything insightful or helpful about the state of the world today.
I made this.

lyrics

It's all very well to say we stand with you
When we both know that there's very little we can do.
It's fine to say you're going to stand and fight
But wars are won by the strong - not the ones in the right.
And when the President of America says
the best we can do now is just prepare for what comes next,
And any actions that we take, in reality just make
the poor even more poor
And offer no chance of escape,
It's cold comfort to be told
that he will be
on the wrong side of history.
