Backstory:

I was researching a piece on Martin Luthor King, following the George Floyd killing. Ebony and ivory came up and it struck me that no progress, no ones listening. McCartney linkage with John Lennon and war and assination. Afghanistan famine and drive by cars appeared, and suddenly it seemed the message in the songs were being ignored. A little more digging and.......

Deaf to the Message

© 2021 Lyric: by Lockdown Larcs

No one hearing the music
no one listens to a song
we are deaf to the message
a world still not getting along

No one hearing the music
she sang a little respect
we are deaf to the message
it is trolls who now connect

No one hearing the music
someone asked what's going on
we are deaf to the message
brutality still so wrong

No one hearing the music
did you ever imagine
we are deaf to the message
when is the next assassin

No one hearing the music
when was mercy mercy me
we are deaf to the message
still killing ecology

No one hearing the music
ebony and ivory
we are deaf to the message
still no racial harmony

No one hearing the music
who ever gave peace a chance
we are deaf to the message
waiting for the next war dance

No one hearing the music
when did they play the drive song
we are deaf to the message
famine is still going strong

(final verse to be recited by children not sung & without music)
Don't put these words to music
not another song misunderstood
don't be deaf to the message
give us a future that is good
