Song information
I recorded this tune in 2019.

Recently my dear friend Socialite1957 and I had an “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours” moment. She sent me her COMATOSE (https://ibandstand.com/songs/2021). I loved it! I then sent her my similarly themed LEMMINGS, and she loved it. Well she’s gone and posted hers, so it’s only right I post mine! Lol…

Now I’m not here on this site to rant and rave about political issues, at least, not primarily. I’m here for the music and the friendships. Those who have known me a long time have occasionally heard me comment: “The Right is WRONG and the Left is LUNATIC.” Unfolding history seems hell-bent on corroborating that statement. (Makes ya kinda proud to be a member of the human species…NOT!!!)

Again, while I’m not primarily here to promote a particular political viewpoint, there are times one must speak out and take a definite stand. Truth has NEVER been popular with the masses; sadly, to their own ultimate detriment.

In light of recent acts of the government of Scotland, and of similar attempts underway elsewhere in the Western world by the same dark ideologues, I’ve decided to post this song.

WARNING: Some folks might get upset with me for this song; but nearly everything such folks think, say, and do upsets me! Does anyone think they care about that? Even a little?

Lyrics
LEMMINGS

I
Neuro-linguistic programming, becoming all pervasive.
Control of public discourse, deceptive and invasive.
“Safe spaces” dot the campuses, lists of words “good” and “bad;”
drawn up by dark elitists: TYRANNY’S hidden hand!

How did it come to this?
Where did it go amiss?
When truth’s no longer spoken,
on lies we’ll all be choking!

II 
Post-modern ideologues: Reality’s dark foes!
They blur lines of distinction. “God and Nature must go!”
Aggressive legislation… Nobody counts the cost;
yields a barbaric nation, it’s heritage now lost.

They mutilate our children,
to serve dark fantasies.
When will we stand against this,
and set our children free?
Hey!

1st Bridge:
They want to quash the word, so it never does get heard.
They cannot tolerate, it’s challenge to their hate…

III
All talk of human dignity, is just an empty show when
the culture’s looking just like “the Island of Doc Moreau”!
They have no stomach for truth. They live to curse the sky!
The rage against true meaning, and it does pass them by…

To live and die like this;
like lemmings to the precipice…
They don’t know why they’re here.
Such ignorance and fear!

2nd Bridge:
The word can set you free!
The word can set you free!

Hey!

I remember back in the 60's, imusic, etc was all about free speech.. nuff said.. ( not meaning to pun but)
I don't know much about what's going on in Scotland as here in the U.S. we are in mess ( unintended rhyme)
You've got all original lyrics up here.. Very impressive and love that mean organ

Yeah... there was a time you could speak up and not get cancelled. Disagreed with, sure; but that's an entirely different thing. Voltaire wrote a couple things (and ONLY a couple) that I can really get behind. One is the following:
"I may not agree with a thing you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it!"
How can anyone disagree with that sentiment and still claim to believe in Democracy? Hmmn...
Anyway, this is a fun song to play on the guitar. Glad you enjoyed the music my friend!

Exactly! This song  brilliantly sums up what's going on. People have chucked cause an effect out the window and have gone with their  ungodly appetites. Lawlessness seems to be increasing exponentially.

Another great song Mike. Your singing is unique and catchy as usual and love the interplay between guitar and organ.  Re the subject matter of your song I think that most people are good but it's the few radicals on both sides and politicians that are messing things up.  Politicians do things for their own profit.  They push the agendas of the doners. They don't represent the majority.  We don't have our best people leading our countries.  In fact I think most politicians are slime.  Why?  Because the best people don't want to be under a microscope 24/7 and be judged crucified for something that everyone else does.  They rather be in a career where they can be successful and keep their privacy.

Many thanks Paul!
It pains me to have to write and post tunes like this, I'm generally an extremely happy guy who loves life and people. But madness and societal decay are what they are...
You know the rest!

Hey Mike,
Another excellent track - 
You're preaching to the choir (in my case). Your concerns are valid. The battle rages on...

This a very good piece, I like it. In terms of points of view, music is 
a means to express ourselves, so we are free to express how do we feel about things. Or what do we think. This is a great example.

Bernardo,
Thanks for the same comment bro. I don't expect to convert anyone to my views. I DO claim the right (for both myself AND the other guy) to express our convictions, and to engage in free and unhindered dialogue, whether or not they accord with so called "community standards."
That's a phrase not unlike "The People's Republic of China." What "people"? Whoever the Almighty State recognizes as the people. Prison camps are full of those they don't recognize... So, in reality, the phrase is an open LIE, and it is actually "The Communist State's Republic Of China.". Nuff said...

Bernardo,
I wrote "sane comment," but Almighty AI changed it.

After seeing what happened at MacJams and iComps I dread another political blood bath, but I but love this song. I too am very unhappy with what’s happening here in the states and around the world. You hit few choice targets you quite well, enough to get any open minded listener to think.  Great Song Mike. Charlie

@Bowman Charlie,
I too don't want the site to degenerate into political wrangling! It'll likely be some time before I post another overtly political tune. (I have several more...)
I'm here to have fun and to make friends. Sometimes I feel I gotta speak up, but I don't want it to become my "thing." I hope all the fine folks here of whatever persuasion can understand that...
Be well bro!
:-)

I always liked the word lemmings.  Used to play a classic game called Lemmings.  Anyway.. really like what you've put together.  Vocal is very accessible.  Straight to the point and matter of fact.  What a production man.  Great stuff truly.
