Despite all the lovely people...I'm afraid it's sadly true...
There are some evil bastards in this world
And it was ever thus
Abuse and insults being hurled
By folks who look like us
In the name of something or other
To make it justified
There’ll be one more weeping mother
Over one more child that’s died
And it doesn’t change, it carries on
We never learn right from wrong
Despite the goodwill and the love
Still the hawk will kill the dove
No, It doesn’t change, it carries on
It seems we’ll never get along
When might is right and power rules
Commanding poor deluded fools
There are some evil bastards in this world
And throughout history
A storm of fear and hate unfurled
By folks like you and me
Now read the papers, watch the news
Avoid it if you can
But a poisoned mind with twisted views
That’s your fellow man
And it doesn’t change, it carries on
We never learn right from wrong
All the goodwill and the love
Still the hawk will kill the dove
No, it doesn’t change, it carries on
It seems we’ll never get along
When might is right and power rules
Oh, those poor deluded fools

Sad truth indeed and very timely with the Ukraine situation. I really like the way you sing ‘Bastards’ in this. It’s aggressive and straight to the point!

Sad truth…Some great lines…Still the hawk will kill the dove…That’s a winner. Your songs are always top quality production and music. I probably say that after every song of yours I listen to. Sorry if I’m repetitive.

Great and very skilfully written lyrics, and so true... I also enjoy the rhyme scheme and the flow of words and music. Awesome tune and lovely performance!
@cindyrella Feb 2022
Dad, but so true. You captured this in the best possible way. Bravo!
@sunfire Feb 2022
Great tune. Very apropos.
@mikeskliar Feb 2022
wow, this is really well done! great pop feel to a well-expressed sentiment, kind of a cousin to elvis costello/nick lowe's 'whats so funny about peace love and understanding'. those backup vocals are a great idea, btw!

tellin' it like it never...never taking a false breath, no wasted words.
@leakyplusme2 Feb 2022
Unfortunately that is very true and this is a great song well done.
