Needs Tilt

This music free to share under a Creative Commons Music Sharing License

I wrote this for an IRC Allstars track on songfight!. Blue then arranged and produced it with contribution from untold others.

until now I understood

 the doctors did all that they could

 losing signal with the station

 forced to use imagination

once the cable's cut you're gone

 at least by then you've never won

 losing sight - procrastination

 orbit lost across the nation

our needs tilt when governments are hiding

 our needs tilt when operators lie

 our needs tilt with superstitions dying

 our needs tilt when someone asks us why

 our needs tilt with stoic figures crying

 our needs tilt when tattered flags can't fly

 our needs tilt with welfare cases laying

 our needs tilt if corporations try

another sunday morning show

 doesn't know just what to know

 taking calls from nonbelievers

 making calls to misty grievers

haven't felt this way in years

 said the man in sullen tears

 takes his keys and starts on walking

 finds his car does all the talking
