here's a new song. it's not a love song, a rock song or a country Ballard. it's a rage about the inequality of life be it the poor kids of Brazil. the jihadists in the middle east. the rich of all the world. and my disgust that slavery still goes on in the 21st century.
Not Going To Sing Tonight. Phill Williams.
[D] I'm not going to sing tonight.
Because I [A] feel too sad.
If I could change the world.
And [D] everything that's bad.
I would. Light the lights. Feed those kids.
That [A] live alone on the streets.
And punish those that hurt those kids.
While their [D] own lives are sweet.
[Bm] No-one cares. In their ivory towers.
While their [A] champagne chills on ice.
[Em] Spending more on one small meal.
Than a [G] year of bread and [A] rice. For a family.
[D] I don't want to sing tonight.
While there's [A] war in the middle east.
Take the head of a man who shaves.
Not [D] God but man is a beast.
And who can say that he's better than you?
And [A] they're no better than me.
Still a man is judged but his wealth and skin.
Set those slave folks [D] free.
(CHORUS)
[D] So, I'm not going to sing tonight.
While the [A] crazies rule the world.
Send their armies out to die.
For the [D] glory they don't deserve.
