Thanks!

MY OWN LITTLE WORLD

CAUGHT UP IN MY OWN LITTLE WORLD
YET HAVE NO TIME OF MY OWN
GETTING PULLED IN EVERY DIRECTION
EXCEPT WHERE I WANT TO GO

START WITH A SEED AND WATCH IT GROW
INTO SOMETHING REAL
GOTTA GET BACK TO THE CROSROAD
AND MAKE ANOTHER DEAL

‘CAUSE I’M SO CAUGHT UP
IN MY OWN LITTLE WORLD
YEAH I’M SO CAUGHT UP
IN MY OWN LITTLE WORLD

Who says protest songs were only done back in the '60's?
WHAT’S LEFT OF WHAT’S RIGHT

USED TO BE MONEY HAD VALUE
NOW WE VALUE MONEY
AND POVERTY IT SEEMS IS ON THE RISE
AND THE RICH THINK IT’S FUNNY
AS THEY LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK
THEY FORGET TO GIVE THANKS
TO THE HELPING HAND THAT FEEDS
THEY’RE SO CONSUMED BY GREED

NOW WHERE IS THE LOVE, AND WHAT’S THE TRUTH
WHEN DIRTY LAUNDRY IS PARADED
NO WONDER WE’RE SO JADED
WHERE’S THE INNOCENCE OF YOUTH?

WHAT’S LEFT OF WHAT’S RIGHT

NOW YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH MURDER
THERE’S INJUSTICE FOR ALL
CRIME IS GETTING WORSE EVERYWHERE
THERE’S TOO MUCH POLLUTION IN THE AIR
EVEN SHOOLS DON’T HAVE A PRAYER
AND NO ONE CARES

WHAT’S LEFT OF WHAT’S RIGHT

INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE UP TO THEIR OLD TRICKS
DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ABOUT POLITICS
AS FOR DRUG COMPANIES
THEY WANT TO KEEP YOU ON YOUR KNEES
THE WHOLE THING MAKES ME SICK

THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE AND WHO’S GONNA FEED THEM
LET’S CUT DOWN MORE TREES, WHO NEEDS ‘EM
THE STATUE OF LIBERTY STOOD FOR FREEDOM
NOW SHE STANDS ALL ALONE
IT’S GETTING TOO HOT TO HANDLE NOW
BUT THE FINAL WHISTLE HASN’T BLOWN

WHAT’S LEFT OF WHAT’S RIGHT

If you know someone you'd like to go to hell, then this songs for you!
Track #9 from my upcoming CD Stay Tuned is called Little White Lies.
We all want to go to heaven, but none of us want to die - we'll all tell little white lies, or do whatever it takes...
Hope you enjoy, and please, i need your help in promoting this and getting the word out.
Thanks!

Hello listeners
Usually my songs take a couple of listens to before it hopefully gets to you, but I tried with this one to instantly grab you
and sing words that everyone can relate to with regard to the addiction to our devices, one of our many vices, so please take my advice and add this to your playlist, and if you really like, please share it - I need your help to get this song out there - Thanks, and let me know if you enjoy it.
Look forward to hearing from you....
Ian Allen
