Running out of the darkness, Lifting of the veil,
Breaking up with the daydream, The ultimate betrayal,
Oh Sister, Don't Let em Drag You Down,
Gonna call on the captain, Gonna call on the chief,
Gonna call on the preacher, Lord give them some relief,
Whoa Sister, Don't let em drag you down,
Whoa whoa sister, don't let em run you around,
I said Whoa Sister, don't let em drag you down,
Coming on with the gaslight, coming on with the shame,
Bringing intimidation, war by another name,
Oh brother, don't let em tear you down,
They're calling on the capters, calling on the thieves,
Calling on the deceivers, give them no relief,
Oh brother, don't let em drag you down,
Whoa oh brother, don't let em jerk you around,
Whoa oh brother, don't let em drag you down,
(Guitar knuckleheadery)
Philosophical sabotage, from beyond the veil,
Made to make you suffer, make your children fail,
Oh children, don't let em tear you down,
Oh no brother, don't let em turn you around,
Whoa sweet sister, don't let em drag you down,
Mother Father don't let em drag you down,
Oh sister, don't let em drag you down,
Oh sister,, don't let em drag you down
You're right "best if played Loud" but I play all my music that way. Great lyrics.The music alone would carry this song through. you have a very deep ,busy thoughtful mind and a brilliant way to get it down on paper and then let it spill through your fingers. Brilliant.
Mack, it is great to hear your musical skills shining again! I hope you are all well.
Most excellent track and it's great to hear your amazing talents again!
Carry on brothers! ::encore::
Oh, and as always the vocals are well done, you have an exceptional talent!
Yay!! You finished the JB/SRV!! Amazing guitar and fabulous lyrics!!
The inspiration for this song came from the result of testing the beloved sound of the Stratocaster neck pickup and the rhythm, which prompted the question: What would it have been like if James Brown and SRV had ever met and made music together? It's something we may never know. But, never the less, I ask myself frequently: What would my musical heroes do in this situation? It seems to be a way of making songs happen. Also, the longer I live, the more I look through these eyes, the more i've begun to see a sea of delicate souls.
Ps. Best if played loud...
Mack This is amazing!!!!! I Love the lyrics and your Vocals!!!!!!
