I Want To Fight

about

i wrote this song in a few minutes, and recorded it in a few hours, all on new year's day 2022 while convalescing from the world's most famous illness. the main guitar track was recorded in one take. the second guitar track is just some simple noodling, also in one take.

It is the simplicity of the words and playing that probably pulled it off so nicely, plus the vocal track all recorded in one take, sung with passion.. a lesson in how much great music is knowing what to leave out.

now i need to figure out how to fight

lyrics

Words and Music C)2021 puppeteer

I WANT TO FIGHT

I'm a man of peace, never hurt a flea
But the violent raping of my world for economy
Sure gets to me

Never done a thing, a passive consumer
But I'm sick of being a cell in the carcass' tumor
I want to fight

See the heron spying from the corner of his eye
Will the sight of him flying be a wonder 'til the end of time?
I want to fight

I don't mean fists
I don't mean bricks
I don't mean cliques
Who fight cops for kicks
The invisible hand was going to meet our needs
The invisible land is all that's left of greed
I want to fight

I'm still a body stuck in the land
Even in the city, can't you understand?
I want to fight

My lungs are fine but I can't breathe
Thinking about the bees and the trees
I'm probably strong, I feel diseased
I eat my plants, I bike to work, I own minimally
Anyone out there but me?
Anyone out there but me?
Anyone out there but me?
