THE SMOKIN´ SOCKS

John F. Kerry or George W.
aristocrat smarty or dangerous fool
11-2-4, with your vote you did choose
but does it really matter who is leadin` you ?
If it was that your vote could show
better ways for the world to go
but I fear from what I do know
it`s a choice between cancer and polio

Tappahannock Disillusion
`cause it all stays the same
virulent problems and violent solutions
folks, we´re bound for hard rain

Republicans, Democrats, fear will be hurled
stronger at home, respected in the world
but respect here means fear born by limitless threats
they´ll impose on us all and on this you can bet

Tappahannock Disillusion
`cause it all stays the same
virulent problems and violent solutions
folks, we´re bound for hard rain

These gangsters in power and these thoughts in my head
hope I don´t go crazy but it sure makes me mad
A fistful of immorals, the world in their hands
gotta fight for our freedom however it ends

Could it be in a world that so badly needs love
the best thing to get´s a Kalashnikov ?
I hope, my dear people, this will never come true
worst case scenario for me and you

Tappahannock Disillusion
`cause it all stays the same
virulent problems and violent solutions
folks, we´re bound for hard rain

Tappahannock Disillusion
fear we´re bound for hard rain
is there any solution ?
Lord, let wisdom prevail
Lord, let wisdom prevail
Lord, let wisdom prevail

Some Songs To Remind You ... of a few things we feel are going drastically wrong on this planet.

Politicians worldwide, in collaboration with multi-national, globally acting corporations are deciding the fate of nations, with nothing else in mind than feeding their greed and keeping their hands on the levers of power. There is no social concern left at all. It seems for these complacently ruling people that their cause is justified by any means, even global warfare. In fact it`s nothing new, it`s been going on for decades. But in this time of "Globalisation" the pressure on us ordinary people is growing stronger than it ever was before. This is not a god-given thing, but a man-made situation. Therefore we do not accept it as something that can`t be changed for the better. And with this belief we are not alone. There are many people all over the world thinking alike, engagin` themselves for the betterment of human living-conditions, even under the worst imaginable circumstances. Be it politically, socially, medically, economically or artistically, their work is invaluable and without them things would be even worse than they already are. So please let us all spare a thankful thought for them from time to time. Being musicians, we have the chance to express our thoughts and feelings through our songs. Be it loudly or quietly, it`s always done honestly, whether you do or don`t agree. We`d never pretend our Folk & Roll could ever save your soul, but we do hope to maybe be able to provide some relief and let you feel you`re not alone.
