You don’t get that for free Another year is old Christmas coming soon Asteroid shaped like a skull Plays chicken with the moon The forest is in flames again Smoke blocks out the sun Another schoolkid looking down The barrel of a gun My diesel isn’t green no more I guess I was naïve But I love my creature comforts I love my big TV You don’t get that for free No you don’t get that for free Do you take me for a fool, my son? You don’t get that for free They know what you’ve been buying They know who you have phoned They know the things you like to look at When you are alone Populations on the move Borders will be sealed The secret’s in the envelope Soon will be revealed Everything will kill you If you only give it time Everything I have is yours And yours will soon be mine You don’t get that for free No you don’t get that for free Do you take me for a fool, my son? You don’t get that for free

Hi Peter,
A political song with a contemporary message.
Good choice of RTs and very nice additional guitar playing.
Keep up the good work guys!

Hi Peter,
very thoughtful lyrics.
Like the arrangement and vocal
delivery. Little nit: one guitar seems out of tune.
Enjoyable listen though.

Guenter Have to sack the Guitar Tech. The guitars at the end after the acoustic lead in were pretty much done together one after the other as a guide to go back and do a "proper" solo but I ended up liking them. If one is out both are - going for the sloppy 70's rock sound!

Nice write, good arrangement.
On my speakers, the vocal seems buried in reverb, which is too bad, because the lyrics are quite good.

I really enjoyed the lyrics, which I read first, wondering what the accompanying melody would be like.
I liked the song, and loved the lyrics, maybe the vocals sat back in the mix a little too much. A little less reverb and a little more lift would maybe give the song a new presence.
Overall, great write and delivery. Very enjoyable.

Hi Peter, enjoyed this one! I like the lyrics and your vocals were good. I like that you included up-to-date things like the skull asteroid which is very recent in the news. Very good write.

Nice hook and melody in that catchy chorus!
You mentioned a '70s rock style, that's definitely what came to mind...The Band or Brewer And Shipley.
Good stuff here guys.

Peter, I like the current topical lyrics. I especially like the verse "Populations on the move
Borders will be sealed
The secret’s in the envelope
Soon will be revealed
Everything will kill you
If you only give it time
Everything I have is yours
And yours will soon be mine" that 's good stuff. I enjoyed my listen. Tom

Peter & Leon,
Good write! Raw and thought-provoking.
Like early Dylan.
And the production fit that perfectly.

floyd I was typing a response the mentioned that this reminded me of early Dylan. But then I scrolled down and found Floyd's response! I agree with everything that Floyd said!

I enjoyed that a lot.
