lyrics

This new things come to light
It seems that we are able to survive
But it can't be real all this shit they're talking
The end ain't coming it's just conspiracy
And they're right for thinking a change is coming
But the truth beggars belief
So waste no time reading between the lines
And get enlightened
Coz the powers that be just want you to believe
That there's no reason to get excited
But this fish ain't biting the bait

It's time we just said no
Coz we've had enough
It's time they listened up
Listened up, listened up, listened up
Coz we shall not be moved
No we shall not be moved

Why do they treat us just like fools
Like we're just naughty children still in school
But they don't practice what they preaching
While they're breaking all the rules they're making
It's such hypocracy, but the truth is out
That without a doubt we control our destiny
So waste no time reading between the lines
Coz we are the mighty
And the powers that be just want you to be sure
That there's no reason to get excited
But we shall not be divided

Now it's time we just said no
Coz we've had enough
It's time they listened up
Listened up, listened up, listened up
Coz we shall not be moved
No we shall not be moved

about

Simon Hughes Madrid, Spain

I write songs like others might paint, keep a sketchbook or even get a new tattoo. It just takes whatever form it takes, when the song is whirling around my head at that moment. It's hard to put moments of your life into genre, right? My songs are about love, life, protest and frustration, honesty and sometimes just outright improvisation.

Thanks for your ears! ... more
