cracked society

verse 1
there's lots of people freaking out and going insane
there taking all sorts of things to ease their woes and pains
they say that pots against the law while the doctors give out scripts
feeding us with pills each day that give us a little lift

chorus
and the house wifes taking Valium while the kids are on extacy
and where all medicating ourselves in this cracked society

verse 2
where drinking piss by the truck load and getting into fights
cause when your on the joo joo you always think your right
and now theres stuff like bath salts, meow meow and theres speed
and dont forget about the smack, cocain and weed.

chorus
and the house wife's taking Valium while the kids are on extacy
and where all medicating ourselves in this cracked society

Verse 3
So lets toast to our health and take a pill cause where sick
and if that doesnt do the job well find another to do the trick
so drink up and drown your sorrows theres always another day
to take another remedy and wash those blues away

chorus
and the house wife's taking Valium while the kids are on extacy
and where all medicating ourselves in this cracked society
and where all medicating ourselves in this cracked society
and where all medicating ourselves in this cracked society

money ( i want my share )

Verse 1
Money who needs it, if you do the right thing
with a bit of luck you can be a millionaire
if you don't oh **** your up to your ass and eyeballs in debt
money lets be greedy we'll buy a big house with a
car and a yaught nothing but the best
and don't forget the wine and the women and the rest oh yeah

chorus
who said that money was the answer who said it was the answer to our prayers
if money can buy you happiness my friend, then hey man i want my share.

Verse 2
Poverty have you seen it there's a lot of people going hungry way out there
while we want more and complaining it aint fair
its strange i don't believe it where throwing away food and no one wants to share
and some have plenty and they don't even care.

Repeat chorus

verse 3
money ive been there you make it you spend it and you try to make ends meet
working all the time and dead tired on your feet.
Its sad and ive seen it we turn a blind eye at someone else in need
and watch them suffer as we wallow in our greed

repeat chorus

i said hey man don't you understand i get my kicks from another plan
hey man yeah i want my share
i said hey yeah will it buy me love or get me a place in heaven above
i said hey man i want my share
hey you in the big sports car i don't really care just who you are
i said hey man i want my share

i said hey man i want my share ,
i said hey man i want my share.
i said hey man i want my share ,
i said hey man i want my share.

don't judge me.

verse 1
don't judge me unless you know me its easy to bring me down
don't say it just show me if you wanna hang around
don't judge a book by the cover otherwise you'll be caught out
cause your bringing me down and you don't know what im about.

verse 2
you listen to all the gossip and you buy into all the talk
its all about how good they are and thats its all my fault
it makes you feel like your better by putting someone down
and so the talk keeps spreading all around

chorus
don't judge me unless you know me its easy to put me down
but first you've gotta know me if you wanna hang around
don't judge me unless you know me cause everyone has the right
to be heard and not be judged standing in the light

verse 3
its easy to criticize when you don't know whats going on
but it makes them feel like an alien and that they don't belong
and those who are without sin can throw the first stone
otherwise keep quiet and please leave me alone.

chorus
don't judge me unless you know me its easy to put me down
but first you've gotta know me if you wanna hang around
don't judge me unless you know me cause everyone has the right
to be heard and not be judged standing in the light
to be heard and not be judged standing in the light

yeah i would like to. i am setting up a studio but cant get the quality as yet. i have recorded a few of my songs with acoustic guitar and voice with just drum loops as beat. some i have put a bass line in but it doesn't blend well with the drum loops. i would like to get more instruments in but don't know how apart from finding some musos to play real instruments. from those i hear recorded they have good backing with a lead guitar and real drums and some synths. i know you can get pretty good sound from vts nowadays but have yet to work that out. i don't mind just doing it acoustically at the moment but sometime down the track i would like to get some good backing to make the songs more complete.

i bought a focusrite Scarlett interface from cash convertors and it had ableton live 8 with it. i have found it to be good as it has an easy to understand setup and already have learnt how to add some vts instruments into the songs. mainly different bass sounds and some synths. its great and its good accompaniment with my guitar. the only thing is the midi tracks stand out more and its not blended with my acoustic guitar and voice. i can add some effects but it still sounds a bit different. Ive heard there is some sort of wrap you can add to the whole song to blend it better. i suppose that's the thing about not having real instruments. still its fun having all these sounds and i have heaps of experimenting to do.
