Playing guitar is a hobby for me. I've just gotten back into playing guitar after being away from it for 40 yrs. I love music and this is my way of relaxing when I can't be enjoying the outside.

Story behind the song
A protest song about what is going on today.
Lyrics
Verse How much longer is this war going to last We really should have learned from our past Men and women they are dying every day Just so the mighty rich can have their say The government is really getting out of control To gain the world they'll even sell their soul Listen closely now to what I have to say It's time we stood our ground not back away Chorus We don't need a war we need a change We don't need to play these dangerous games God gave man free will and there's no time left to kill We don't need a war we need a change Verse The rich are getting richer and the poor are poorer Our leaders keep us insecure Uncle Sam you say is great to be But you look at what he's doing overseas The government has got this world so f**cked It's getting tough to tell which way is up They keep us in the dark feed us full of lies They can't conceal the truth with their alibi's Chorus Verse They always tell us what they want us to hear Hoping that we'll always be standing near. It's time for a change I'm telling you now Before it's too late and we get too far down How much longer is this war going to last We really should have learned from our past Men and women they are dying everyday Just so the mighty rich can have their say Chorus

Bill, this has a very vintage feel to it, which is fitting. Protestesters 40 years ago could've been singing this song. Great job!
