Poverty breeds frustration. Frustration breeds violence. We reap what we sow

Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
This one recorded using Zelda and Frank... my Hofner Verithin vintage guitar and Bass.... with a little help from the drum machine!
Lyrics
Rich people in an age of hunger When I was hungry, you never fed me When I was naked you passed me by When I was crying you refused to hear me When Iwas dieing you just left me to die.. oh.. Rich people in an age of hunger If only your love was stronger If only you could hear all those little babies crying uh-oh Look around see them dieing Rich people in an age of hunger If only your love, if only your love, If only your love was stronger If only you could hear all those little babies crying uh-oh Look around see them dieing All they ask for is the right to live That instead of take you start to give A million people out there starving and crying Maybe its our fault that they are dieing... oh... Rich people in an age of hunger If only your love, if only your love, If only your love was stronger If only you could hear all those little babies crying uh-oh Look around see them dieing Under the influence of affluence Its so easy to block your mind Well worn policies and crooked ideoligies Are more important than other peoples lives Rich people in an age of hunger If only your love, if only your love, If only your love was stronger If only you could hear all those little babies crying uh-oh Look around see them dieing Rich people in an age of hunger Listen out for the sound of approaching thunder You may think that such a thing Could never ever happen to you But I would not be so sure Because the dieng and oppressed poor Would feel quite justified fighting a war Against you.
