here are some lyrics to a song I wrote. I would be really interested to hear some opinions so please read this.

"Ode to a Town"

Once there was a place, a great and mighty town

Their selfishness and greed drove them to the ground

Eternal treasure is what they couldn't see

I'll just tell you what they told me


The crowd screams:

"Let loose the dogs of war

We want violence we want gore

Let us feast let us gorge

We want more (Give us more!)

We want gossip and fresh lies

Or anything to catch our eyes

We want triple super size

But we want it now so buy, buy, buy!"


Chorus

Nothing will quench their thirst for consumption

So they buy their way right into destruction

"Just charge it" is their battle cry

They make 6 easy payments of $19.95


The crowd screams:

"Lies, deceit, and heresy

Slander and hypocrisy

These things are the air we breathe

So let us breathe (Make us breathe!)

These high walls our sin has built

Act as a callus for the guilt

But with credit card pulled from its hilt

We'll buy our way right through this filth"

(Repeat chorus)


The cycle continued and they were faithful to buy

But they still weren't happy and they didn't know why

The people trusted worldly things that come and go so fast

Instead of trusting Jesus Christ the only thing that lasts



Last Chorus

Nothing did quench their thirst for consumption

So they bought their way right into destruction

When all their stuff was killed by moth and by rust

They sat there dumbfounded with nothing left but dust
