Write It Down
by Sanjax
About this track
A flamboyant electric blues track offering a current political perspective on issues about being clear on vision, values and principles - writing them down. Then on reflection and comparison to the vison, values and principles, finding out that some current governance structures are completely out of whack, to the point that it is reasonable and accurate to describe some governments as: criminal organisations masquerading as democracy. Lyrics: When you write it down... Write it down... Asked a simple question—what do we stand for? Turns out no one's written it down before Democracy, liberty, rule of law Sounds quite nice... until you check the score Words of meaning are set ablaze They twist the script, while we're in dismay When you write it down, write it down All the deceit is revealed in the light When you write it down, write it down All the lies start raining down Million dead in Iraq, all based on lies Anti-genocide groups are now the bad guys Peaceful protest gets you fourteen years While war criminals polish their careers Can’t name the group or I might get nicked For terrorism—that’s how truth gets fixed They made opposing genocide a crime While funding it with your tax and mine When you write it down, write it down All the deceit is revealed in the light When you write it down, write it down All the lies start raining down 4AM raids, for writing to your MP About some kids getting killed across the sea But sell the bombs and that’s just foreign trade Democracy dies when we’re all afraid So here’s your constitution, neat and clean Now measure what they’ve done against what it means The truth’s so mad you’d think it was a joke If kids weren’t bleeding beneath the gun smoke When you write it down, write it down When you write it down, write it down.... When you write it down... Write it down...
