Universal Dustbowl

from Burden of Belief by Hugh Christopher Brown

/

lyrics

You don’t like rock and roll?
I think I understand
Took a while to relax my style but here I stand

When it’s all coming down
There’s just no letting up
Keeping on until
You turn that dollar bill
Into my paper cup

don’t know why I defend myself
it gets so complicated, man it gets so rough

Between the dollar bill
And the paper cup
Money, swill, take your fill
Let it fuck you up

Sure, they’ll give you some
But what you want it for?
It’s a bribe it’s a bet
It was third world debt
Now it’s fourth world war

Universal Dustbowl coming ‘round
Displacing people
Shutting borders down

For those without a price
Who know what life is worth
Who paid the cost?
Who prayed and lost connection to the earth?

For every revolution
A needle in the goove
Asses your soul
They put up a toll every time you move

Universal Dustbowl
Coming round
Race you to the frontier
To shut the border down


My dependence
My great depression
My dependence
My great depression
