Skirmish: You Were Wrong (@robinleaf)

Liner Notes

A critical look at most politicians, as usual too late for the skirmish...

Lyrics

Golden promises, a silver tongue
Banners raised, anthems sung
But behind the curtain, strings were pulled
A world of lies, expertly culled

Now the veil has lifted, truth exposed
The emperor's new clothes

You were wrong, so wrong
Feeding us fear, stringing us along
You were wrong, can't you see?
The scales have fallen, we're breaking free

Media circus, smoke and mirrors
Cultivating hate and fears
While you dined on caviar dreams
We drowned in your corrupted schemes

Now the veil has lifted, truth exposed
The emperor's new clothes

You were wrong, so wrong
Feeding us fear, stringing us along
You were wrong, can't you see?
The scales have fallen, we're breaking free

Did you think we'd never wake?
That we'd swallow every take?
Well, the tide is turning now
Time to reap just what you sow

You were wrong, dead wrong
But we're rising up, we're growing strong
You were wrong, now face the day
Your empire of lies is washing away

You were wrong, dead wrong
But we're rising up, we're growing strong
You were wrong, now face the day
Your empire of lies is washing away

You were wrong, dead wrong

As soon as the guitar started I was hooked. And the lyrics are hard-hitting and pointed. Excellent work!

You are an amazing talent. Love the music...and those lyrics! How rewarding to hear: You were wrong, so wrong!

Outstanding. I was sold, right from those Mellotron flutes. What a gorgeous slice of classic rock this is; strong vibes of Porcupine Tree at their peak, and that's not an easy thing to pull off, even for Porcupine Tree themselves...

You had me with the guitar in the beginning. And certainly did not disappoint later! This is really really good!

Fantastic chorus, both in terms of construction and recording. Really dig the harmonies.
