Collateral Damage
Waking up to the sins of the fathers
No sword to ploughshare, the battle's just begun
We are marching in time to a distant beat
Tense with fear, we know this war will over run
Think of somewhere that you'd rather be
You can't fight it you just have to change the world
There's karma, riding the stormy sea
But in time...
Isn't freedom worth fighting for? Are we free to fight?
Fight no more? Are we free
Working up to the life that we're living
It's not easy, now it's just 9 to 5
I think I found a time when I was forgiven
But there's no turning back now we have arrived
The sins of the fathers they haunt us
And we really have to wonder why
In a past life they left none to call us
Without direction it's not hard to lie
Please take me to that place, where peace surrounds and there's no disgrace
Walk me through the open space, where peace abounds and we all embrace
Please take me to that place, where peace surrounds and there's no disgrace
Words and Music by Dave Bradley
All instrumentation (vocals, guitar bass), programming and mixing dB
From the critics: "Really great structure and breaks. Totally dig the harmonies and the vocals."
"Creative structure throughout, hot licks and tasty riffs, a sweet bass line, and more potent words from your serious-songwriting mind delivered by your amazing voice."
"Standing ovation dude! This is great... lyrics, vocals, fiery guitars all work together wonderfully."
