Liner Notes

This word has been running through my head for the past couple days and it has come out as a song. Dedicated to the warped people cheering on Trump at the CPAC convention and others. I did this in Open D tuning.

Lyrics

Chorus:
Close the windows, close the doors
I prefer to know no more
I'm blind
I prefer to be blind

Don't let me know what's going on
It's not happening to me
It's happening to those bureaucrats
Down in Washington, D.C
(chorus)

Don't tell me about farmers
Who don't have food subsidies
They are going to go bankrupt
It's not happening to me.
(chorus)

Don't tell me about immigrants
Sent to Guantanamo Bay
If the president says they're criminals
They belong there, anyway
(chorus)

Don't tell me about the rich folks
Who are greedy and want more
Who are waving around chainsaws
And cutting down the poor
(chorus)

Don't talk to me about democracy
Looks like it might just fall apart..

I'm blind
I prefer to be blind
I'm blind
I prefer to be blind

The simple message with the open tuning grabs me. Somber, sad and ironic.

Love the sound of the open tuning here, as well as the sad sentiment. Your chords and melody are simple and strong, like all the best folk tunes!

Right on, love the message here and the music that is supporting it, they go together perfectly in my opinion and combined add a certain beauty to bigger pictured of the whole song.
