Heathens Are Heroes

Liner Notes

Wrote these lyrics on the three hour drive to Ann Arbor. (I wasn't driving)

I know. I know. i keep saying the same things in all my songs. Peace and love this. Read books and dance that. But who cares. that's what I'm all about. A middle age hippy-Punk anarcho-mystic whatever. I'm so sick of negativity and doubt.

In this song I made up a term godful heathens. because I'm so sick of the division of this and that. I think all people are generally good but we are all capable of being very bad and nothing is going to change if we keep hating the other. We seriously need to change the trajectory, like right now.

I'm also seeing a lot of FAWMers writing very similar themes this year. We don't need to be specific about what we don't approve of but we do need to be deliberate about our present actions.

love you all. Keep being excellent to each other.

Lyrics

It's not so bad. It’s only the worst dream we’ve ever had.
Let’s go back to sleep and wake up unafraid comrade.

Tear down alters, smash idols. Let’s melt down all the gold.
We know that their time’s short when money is their god.

Ignore the lies. We’ll live free with smiles and open eyes.
They can try, but peaceful resistance will pacify.

Tear down alters, smash idols. Let’s melt down all the gold.
We know that their time’s short when money is their god-

-full heathens are heroes. Countdown to zero.
Fight with tools and logic. We’ll wear them down with love

-your neighbor. Do favors and break this spell of greed.
Our hearts filled with hope and peace is all we need.
