Description
(This is the final CD mastered version. Not hugely different than the previous version I posted here, but I figured that if I'm gonna have the song up on the web for people to hear and download that it better be the absolute best final version. Basically just final EQ tweaks and a little volume optimization.)
I wrote this song in the fall of 2004 as a direct challenge to the Bush administration and their enablers. It was the first song I recorded in Garage Band and it's what really got the musical inspiration flowing in me that led to all this other music I have made since and the album "SOMETHING" inwhich this song is track number 8.

Lyrics
Do you feel it, the pressure building under your thumb
electric signals away
Just how many miles does it take you 'til you're comfortably numb
Does it make you feel safe?
Can you justify this?
Can you justify this?
How many times have they told you what you wanted to hear
after they told you what you wanted?
Do you even know where the war is or what the killing is for
Secret signals away.
Can you justify that?
Can you justify that?
And I know, I know, I know what you think
'cause I've heard it before
And they know, they know, 'cause they played on your fears
in a bid for your obedience.
Are you too scared to ask
what you're scared of?
How many lies can they tell you before you'll stop believing
it's not a crime if you need it?
And when it's over and the truth comes will you call on the dead
to see the prize you have won?
Could you justify that?
Did you justify that?
How could you justify that?
electric signals away
Just how many miles does it take you 'til you're comfortably numb
Does it make you feel safe?
Can you justify this?
Can you justify this?
How many times have they told you what you wanted to hear
after they told you what you wanted?
Do you even know where the war is or what the killing is for
Secret signals away.
Can you justify that?
Can you justify that?
And I know, I know, I know what you think
'cause I've heard it before
And they know, they know, 'cause they played on your fears
in a bid for your obedience.
Are you too scared to ask
what you're scared of?
How many lies can they tell you before you'll stop believing
it's not a crime if you need it?
And when it's over and the truth comes will you call on the dead
to see the prize you have won?
Could you justify that?
Did you justify that?
How could you justify that?

Loved it before and this version is no disappointment. You get such a
clean sound here Peter - what a great voice! I can feel the emotion
behind the words - an excellent song.
