Yep... this is a new tune. Kinda threw it together for fun. playing around with a few other ideas... man, loving the new stuff in 2019. I didn't spend a lot of time on this tune. Quick write and quick recording. If you feel it is absolutely necessary to post an opposing opinion take the time to write your own counter protest song and then post it in the form of a song. Other than that...comments welcome. Build The Wall tracks Bass 684 Drums rock even 8 guitars 2757 & 2758 slide 669 Me: Solo guitars, vocals. Build The Wall They come from the lands down south of the border, up through mexico way Final destination, the good old USA Under the shadow of darkness, crossing that line in the sand Bringing things we do not need, while holding the devil's hand Oh oh build the wall... today Oh Oh, don't let nothing get in our way They love our milk and honey but they burn and desecrate our flag Oh Oh Build the wall... today Politicians selling out, filthy lucre so they say seems to be the root of all evil in this world today Greed and corruption, are everywhere so it seems Have we gone too far that we have lost our founders dream?

I love a good Protest Song - and this is Spot On.
I wish I could write a "Brexit WTF" one over here.
As Lord Acton said at the start of the last century - "Power tends to corrupt and absolute Power, corrupts absolutely."
If Trump does get his way and the wall is built Americans must remember that they will need to do the work themselves that they currently throw down to the migrants. Can you see that happening?

Hi Herb,
Speaking from the safety of the UK, there's no way I'm getting involved in that argument,
but I did love the music.
It's a great, uncivilised, unpretentious, raw, rocking sound and I loved it.
I'll leave the lyrics for others to pick-up on!
ROG.

Herb, Good rocker! Nice use of the slide track. The way you processed it sounds like David Lindley. Great guitar by you. The twinned part spread across the soundstage is especially nice. Excellent mix and production, Tom

Thanks Floyd. glad you liked it in a musical sense. I don't mind the link but I didn't see how it was exactly an opposing view.... but maybe I missed it as I was thinking TV evangelist the whole time I was listening. Anyway.... Smoke & Mirrors is a good song. I think I might have missed that one when you first posted it. Maybe you can write one about open the border and free the people.... or something. Thanks for dropping in an having a listen. I always enjoy your point of view and look forward to your comments. You have good ears.

Great tune... Always write as you would speak... The truth as you see it... Others can do the same  That's one of the great things about our country & this forum. My thoughts have already been presented... But I don't know if listeners spotted the subtlety... The Statute of Liberty blocked by a green corroded fence... Smell the Fresh Air

I like this sort of stuff. I have not ever posted any of my protest songs here for fear of being shot, butchered , and Bar B Q ed...LOL
The music is cool also. It is not that I agree or disagree with the point of view. I just like the idea we should be able to protest anything we like with music and video.
This is the sort of stuff that I find very entertaining to listen to here on the forum. Plus, Guitarhacker is a good guitar player.
By the way, I'm with furry, I don't live in England but I am also a bit sick of the hearing about Brexit. Get in or get out, but just close the damn door...lol
Cheers,
Billy

Good song. Has a bit of Neil Young vibe which sits well with the protesting theme I would think.

Not been on user showcase for a while, and what a first listen.
This is done nice and colourful, with a rhythm/style that keeps the listener listening.
A growly protest song and very well sung, with a fantastic soundtrack.
Enjoyed This one.

money gained in a dishonorable way, whew I had to look it up
nail on the head!
I feel like there's more than a few politicals on cartel payrolls.
You'd think people would like a doer instead of just a talker
A number of predecessors talked a big game about border security,
unfair trade agreements, Jerusalem, jobs, North Korea, minorities, etc., etc., etc.
and never made a move, didn't even pick up a phone and try.
Musicians, actors, and artists are usually by nature anti-establishment
and, or liberal.
I like a doer, I like what I see and not the gossip of perversion,
scrutinizing every step of a man now when it wasn't done before.
I'm a conservative Texan, a christian and probably now considered
to be a lot less cool on this board. Build the wall, slow down the inflow of drugs.
If Mexico was smart, they would've paid for (Up Front) and built the wall,
look at what they're having to deal with. I feel for hungry and desperate people,
there are ways to help them there or even to get here.
Sorry Herb, enough complaining from me,
It's an anthem! excellent twin guitars, very nice playing
a good mix.
Enjoyed!
Kenny

Yes, I also hear a little bit of Neil Young reminds me of Rockin in the Free World. Yes, I'll probably be a little less cool after agreeing with Build the Wall, I've donated several times. Good to put money where your mouth is. Mexico will pay for the wall, probably tolls to get across after the wall is up. Heck all the money we save will more than pay for the wall. Not to mention it's been promised for 30 years by most of the politicians who only made promises but never kept them as they were either too impotent or even worse a part of the corruption. Good song and thanks having the guts for posting. I can't tell you how many times I've had to sit and listen to a Bash the Current President song.
And I am an artist and a musician, so we're not all lefties.

ROG. Rog.... good to hear from you all the way from across the pond. I was in fact going for a more raw sound. One reason I didn't spend a lot of time on this. Most of the tracks I added including vocals were one take and done. the BGV are without a doubt one shot deals.

Good song, and I enjoyed the listen furry x2.... glad you took the time to listen and comment. I know about the Brexit thing but since it's "over there" I don't keep up with the details. Nothing like a good old revolution every now and then to set things straight.
