Coins and Crowns

It’s all going down, down, down
The peasants are reeling
From the game of coins and crowns
We’re all feeling
When they borrow for war
With no gold in store
They just print more
Then our costs go up and our jobs go down
Hunger goes up and hope goes down
Anger goes up then it all goes down, down, down

Gold and silver from the ground
Five thousand years of money sound
Mine it up, melt it down
A fair exchange that keeps us sound
Print it up then it all goes down

Kings and queens with golden crowns
Five thousand years of empires founded
Make some war, win some ground
Just give us bread and circus clowns
To keep us down

I don't really care for that one, although the lyrics are great. I did, however, listen to a bunch of her other stuff on youtube and enjoyed several of her songs. I think she needs to hook up with a band. The message in most of her songs is totally on spot, but I don't think I could bear to listen to an album of end the fed songs all at once. Perhaps she should get involved in a bad relationship or have some other reason beyond protest.

It's a problem I have in my own songs, the latest are all protest songs. People need happy songs, too.......

and she reminds me of loreena mckennit (spelling?) who's songs pretty much sounded like a witch circle jerk.

The message is great, the songs need more than just a guitar and a singer.

You can't even karma me for this
