lyrics

It’s a new morning and half the world’s yawning
A comet is coming for our pale blue dot
Nobody worries and everyone hurries
Checking their diaries for a vacant slot

We’re walking like zombies in cool Abercrombies
Sucking up tiktocks on our pale blue dot
The crash is a comin’, distraction is dumbin’
And we are not worried; we already forgot

We are distracted
We are dazzled by the shiny ones
Ignoring the knowledge we have gathered
Let’s be guided by what we know
Dismiss those who just wanna put on a show
They are killing us all and what’s worse, we all know

We’re under the watch of trained astronauts
Floating above us wondering why we’re so dumb
They have the vision, we are in prison
They open our cages but we just will not run

We are distracted
We are dazzled by the shiny ones
Ignoring the knowledge we have gathered
Let’s be guided by what we know
Dismiss those who just wanna put on a show
They are killing us all and what’s worse, we all know

about

Roger Hammond Amsterdam, Netherlands

Based near Amsterdam. I write, play guitar, sing and record. I try to write interesting lyrics and occasionally I think they are. A lot of the songs end up with a calm sound and emphasize the vocals and acoustic guitar. My early influences were Paul Simon, Tom Waits, Jethro Tull, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Chopin, The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Otis Redding and a ton more along the way ... more
