Description
Storyteller narrates a world where "life is blown around" and people yearn for a savior to lead them to a promised land. They and we look to entertainment figures as if they have magic answers to "make us all we can be." Provocative storytelling lyrics with an infectous driving blues-rock beat.
Lyrics
Storyteller In a world that’s falling down To a life that’s been blown around Don’t believe anything they say They don’t know much anyway On the top where the rich get rich They say Jesus was the snitch Ask yourself who is the winner When everyone’ a sinner It just goes on and on and on… ….and the people scream Come on, storyteller Tell us a story about make believe Make us all believers Slay all the deceivers Make us everything we can be Come on, storyteller Give us real hope for something new Unmask all the liars Bring down the deniers Make us know what we can be …and is all just one big fantasy? In a world where pathetic is cool To a life surrounded by prosaic fools It’s all run by the fraternity Of ignorance for eternity Time it was and what a time it is Look around your brother’s life, that’s your biz See the rich man counting dimes See the poor man counting time And it goes on and on and on…and the people say… Words and Music by Mike McDevitt © 2011 by Michael F.
