Description:
This is the first complete song I've ever gotten finished. I was recorded in mono and is 100% home-made. The country/barnyard style includes a set of strange sounds, such as stomping, clapping, chickens, tin cans, glass bottles, dogs barking, and squeaky rocking chairs. Actual instruments include Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass and vocals. Overall I probably spent at least 35+ hours recording and mixing the tracks. I am very happy with the outcome despite the limitations of my abilities and resources. I hope you enjoy!Lyrics:
The Government took away my dignity my debt's become my ball and chain I used to have rights but its such a pity that The government took them all away I just wanna sit in my wooden rocking chair Relax and read the paper all day I got no money and I don't think its very fair Government go away The Government took away my furniture I got no place to sit and read My couch was comfy, where it not I can't be sure I lost my money-back guarantee I got no home I got no place to sleep My Dog ran away with my pickup truck I got dead skunks rotting in my compost heap Government you really suck The Government took away my freedom Politicians destroyed my state of mind I remember a time when we didn't need them But those days are gone ben left behind I don't like laws I don't like politics I'm scared of wars cause I hates to fight And I don't vote cause the candidates are full of it Government ruined my life The Government took away my paper they cut me down said I couldn't read I don't much care if the civil war's over cause I think its bout time that I secede The Government thinks it can run the nation cause Its big and strong and it ain't polite But if the Government starts some big confrontation Then we ain't goin' down without a fight The government took away my living space They took my home, my dog, my wife Them folks got problems and I'll say it right to their face The Government can't control my life The Government took away my dignity My life's become a walk of shame Things haven't been right since 1950 And that dang government's the one to blame I just wanna sit in my wooden rocking chair Relax cause I got no taxes to pay But my boots got holes and I'm starting to lose my hair Government go away Ol' dang Government you sure do know how to make a man bleed and hate his life The system's got problems and I wish I could show all the trouble you cause with your greed and strife Thats my Government (Go away) Thats my Government (Go away) Yeah thats my government (Go away) Go away Go away.

This would've worked well in the Woodstock Festival last month.
You have really good songwriting skills.
