Array ( [sid] => 110809 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => TRUTH [time] => 2005-12-02 22:15:30 [hometext] => please post your comments [bodytext] => i'll always be the voice for those who can not speak
and i'll lend my strength to those who are weak
i'll always stand my ground with no thougth to flee
and i'll always do my best to fight for honesty
(Chorus)
I DONT NEED NO MONEY
AND I DONT CARE ABOUT GOLD
HONESY MEANS THE MOST TO ME
AND THE TRUTH SHOULD ALWAYS BE TOLD

they try to keep Jesus out of schools
but cant keep out the guns
i wonder where my taxes go when the claim a lack of funds
it's hard to to a good job at only half price
and we wonder why our future doesnt look so bright
(chorus)
there are preachers in the pullpit and on the television screen
the claim to be close to God but there sould are far from clean
they say they do God's will and dont care about money
but when i see them driving those cadillac cars i dont think its funny
if they are just doing Gods will i guess well never know
but it aint for me to worrie about, only God can judge their soul
(chorus)
Johnny Cash was ignored in Nasheville for 10 long years
so if they dont answer any of my calls i wont shed no tears
i could write these lyrics any way you want me to
but it's a damn shame i don't write them for you
i'll never sell out for your money and i'll never write for fame
my views will stand the test of time and my standards will stay the same [comments] => 3 [counter] => 165 [topic] => 34 [informant] => common_man13 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

I like the words and the rhythm is easy to find. I would love to hear the melody.

My only suggestion would be to pay more attention to spelling. The errors detract from the quality of the peice.

But on a whole ... it was a pleasant read.

( just my opinion )
