The Warning Bells – Peter Bowen (April 2012)
Lately I’ve been starting to think
The world is spinning out of control
Too many people, got too many problems
We’re digging ourselves into a hole
The gap between, the haves and have-nots
Is getting bigger every day
The planet is hurting
Won’t somebody show us the way?
Can you hear the warning bells
Ringing throughout the land?
Our house of cards is falling.
Are you steady of hand?
Sorting through fact from fiction
It’s hard to know what is in store
But the bells are so insistent
They’re getting hard to ignore
Poverty, hunger and starvation;
Obesity, fast food and disease
Corrupt politicians, modern robber barons
Foreign wars and boat refugees
Climate change, pollution, global warming
Corporate greed, bad debt, credit squeeze
With a rising population
Soon the world might be on its knees
Can you hear the warning bells
Ringing throughout the land?
Our house of cards is falling.
Are you steady of hand?
Sorting through fact from fiction
It’s hard to know what is in store
But the bells are so insistent
They’re getting hard to ignore
Lately I’ve been starting to think
The world is spinning out of control
Too many people, got too many problems
We’re digging ourselves into a hole
The gap between, the haves and have-nots
Is getting bigger every day
The planet is hurting
Won’t somebody show us the way?
Can you hear the warning bells
Ringing throughout the land?
Our house of cards is falling.
Are you steady of hand?
Sorting through fact from fiction
It’s hard to know what is in store
But the bells are so insistent
They’re getting hard to ignore
Poverty, hunger and starvation;
Obesity, fast food and disease
Corrupt politicians, modern robber barons
Foreign wars and boat refugees
Climate change, pollution, global warming
Corporate greed, bad debt, credit squeeze
With a rising population
Soon the world might be on its knees
Can you hear the warning bells
Ringing throughout the land?
Our house of cards is falling.
Are you steady of hand?
Sorting through fact from fiction
It’s hard to know what is in store
But the bells are so insistent
They’re getting hard to ignore

What lovely playing ... the acoustic really does shine tonally as does the warm and thick electric tone. Really like the chorus/bridge progression melodically and your vocals and harmonies are wonderful ... confident. Such feeling and passion in your electric lead ... the best I've heard you play. This is truly a well composed and played piece. The bell through me at first ... maybe might have worked better at the end. Great post Peter,! You have outdone yourself with this in my opinion.
Cheers
