Description
I wrote this song when I was twelve, and even though it's a simple psychadelic song it took me 38 years to find the band that could play it right. Next life we plan to get together sooner.
Lyrics
Rabble Rouser Music and Lyrics: Bill McDonald (Intro) Your wind up soldiers are out for blood, fightin’ and killin’ for you. People die because you say they should, and the bloodlust isn’t through. You’re stirrin’ ’em ’round you’re mixin’ up with your silver spoon You tell’em what to do, but when you’re through your southern tree will bloom. (Chorus) Because you don’t know what you’re doin’ Rabble Rouser— They’ll look to you for the answers Rabble Rouser— But don’t you come up empty, or else they’ll turn on you, and then what will you do? Rabble Rouser—— The summer heat rises off the street as you sit sippin’ by your pool. Despite a list of names that you’ve put to flames, your penthouse stays cool. Buildin’ statues, and crushin’ men a kind of concrete who’s who But you best beware, ’cause if you don’t take care, someone’ll turn the tables on you. (Chorus) But for right now you are, the one in power, and you rule by the jungle laws. Only the strong survive, the quickest stay alive, long as they escape you claws. But you can’t hold back time, even with every dime, and everything you own, and so will dawn the day when hunter becomes prey and a new king ascends to the throne. (New Chorus) Because you don’t know what you’re doin’ Rabble Rouser— You thought you covered all the angles Rabble Rouser— But that one time when you let your guard down, was the one time he came for you, but don’t worry his time will come too, ’cause he’s a rabble rouser——
