lyrics

Sometimes it's hard to keep believing
That everything works out in the end
I'm tired of all the lying and deceiving
When strangers are calling me their friend

The phone rings I can't even answer anymore
It's probably a robo call or scam
I hear the background chatter on the call center floor
And when they speak I don't understand

But that's just a mild indication
That we're just like frogs in the pot
Too many have lost all sensation
Of what is real and what is not

The con man's an expert at projection
He knows our desire to believe
He say's that he got robbed of the election
But there's no excuse for being naive

A survey for every transaction
They promise it won't take too much time
To ascertain our level of satisfaction
With every single question line by line.

But that's just a mild indication.
That's we're just like frogs in the pot
Too many have lost all sensation
Of what is real and what is not.

Stand back from the crowd and of a mob beware
My mother often told me as a child.
They always burn their witches in the public square
With their imaginations running wild.

Sometimes it's hard to keep believing
That everything works out in the end
I'm tired of all the lying and deceiving
When strangers are calling me their friend

Chaim Bezalel Stanwood, Washington

My mother had a collection of 78 rpm records of folk music and I became a folk music lover from a young age. I attended festivals and concerts, sat with Libba Cotten when she sang Freight Train. I learned to pick sitting in Washington Square as a teenager. However, I did not begin writing songs until my 50's. I am also a poet and artist. I live in Wasnhington State and in Israel. ... more
