From the recording You Hear A Lot About It
A tune about our social, economic, and political condition. A little cynical perspective, but it grooves!

You hear a lot about the killing in their struggle for freedom
(Freedom)
You hear a lot about the fighting against rebel scum
(Oooh Oooh Oooh)
Don’t hear much about the baby crying in the street
(In the street)
Don’t hear much about the momma trying to make ends meet
(Oooh Oooh Oooh)
You hear a lot about the politics, election to come
(On the way)
Republican or Democrat, who’s gonna run
(Who’s gonna run)
Senators and Governors coming under fire
(What’d you do)
Are you taking kickbacks, they say you’re a liar
(Lying son-of-a-bitch)
You hear a lot of gossip in the daily news
(In the news)
Printing lots of supposition from objective views
(Bullshit, bullshit)
Don’t hear much about the poverty in the news today
(News today)
Don’t worry, just close your eyes, it’ll go away
(They hope, they hope)
I hope you get a message from what I’m trying to say
Priorities should be at home, not across the bay
(Yeah)
