Liner Notes -- We Ain’t Hiding

I hope you're safe and warm in the New Year. I discontinued my weekly posts a week earlier than planned, muddled in reviews when I mostly wanted to read, and create. So I plan to move back to a more friendly monthly-ish pace. Although with that said, I have a doozy of a post planned for next Sunday!

Tonight I recorded my newest song, so as is my habit, I share the lyrics here.

Stay free, bold, kind, and safe. Much love.

We Ain't Hiding

I’d give a million to stay in your smile

Sipping coffee you sipping your chai But

they disappearing our neighbors destroying lives

Traincar’s full, folks holding maps, bags & phones 

Where’d all the protest the signs go? When the world’s on fire       we need      

combustibles That aren’t human lives.

Chorus:

We can’t just let the fascists take DC without a fight

Take LA and take Chicago, those terrorists with ICE

They hide behind their masks, 45 hides behind his lies

I ain’t hiding from the fact that their stealing our rights

What we’re gonna do

Doin nothing won’t do

We ain’t hiding. No we ain’t hidin’. We ain’t hidi - i - in

We ain’t hiding. No we ain’t hidin’. We ain’t hidi - i - in

In a country built on slavery The legacy’s inequality

And corruption’s only paled by greed

in a wack-a-mole like info scene when news kowtows

to powers that be   we don’t see the half of it   that scares the hell out of me

Bridge:

My Buddha-like cat says scratch my head and Olly olly oxen free

Turn from   injury to claim victory. Prophetic cat.

(Chorus)

They get richer while they get and more cruel and

You get quiet and more poor I get loud.

If the trainwreck’s heading towards you

 and you have to close yer eyes I’ll try to steer it to the side

Chorus:

We can’t just let the fascists take DC without a fight

Take LA and take Chicago, those terrorists with ICE

They hide behind their masks, 45 hides behind his lies

I ain’t hiding from the fact that their stealing our rights

What we’re gonna do

Doin nothing won’t do

We ain’t hiding. No we ain’t hidin’. We ain’t hidi - i - in

We ain’t hiding. No we ain’t hidin’. We ain’t hidi - i - in
