Soapbox from Dead Garden by LaDean

-two full bars-feel it out-

I’m tired of straightlines,
Of stayin’ within,
Of frettin’ ‘bout headlines
Or juries or sins

Fake lines around nations,
And more in the sand
Who cares what that bitch said?
More worries at hand…

*And I’m on this journey,
I’m makin’ my stand,
I’m up on my soapbox,
Hopin’ you’ll understand-Yeah!*

–One bar then chorus–

I can’t be the only one, seeing this, hearing this,
I won’t be the only one, facing this, reaping this,
I-

-break back to verse-

Now listen my dear friends,
To what I have said ,
No clutching our pearls now,
Or heads in the sand
Pundits and apostles,
All chasing those ends,
greed , power, and fear,
With blood on their hands

*And I’m on this journey,
I’m makin’ my stand,
I’m up on my soapbox,
Hopin’ you’ll understand-Yeah!*

One bar then Chorus-
#I can’t be the only one, seeing this, hearing this,
I won’t be the only one, facing this, reaping this,

-GUITAR SOLO-then back to chorus#
