YOUR voice heard nationally...

[David Ippolito]

Seriously, I'm doin' a podcast that's got a global audience right now. And, if you wanna leave a thought or opinion about today's show, I made phone numbers available for you to call to leave a brief comment.

I mean, General Peter Pace called homosexuality "immoral". (Tough call comin' from a military man.)

Cheney claims war protesters are aiding the enemy. (Even tougher call coming from a snake.)

Go listen to the show and leave a voice comment if you want.

Then, come back here and let me know what you think, okay?

1. With special thanks to Arlo Guthrie

Cool... a little musical co-editorializing with a master from back in the Nam days. (Same age-old question, I guess.)

"...moral enough to join the army."

2. posting the lyrics to a song DU'ers should relate to

David, I don't see "Get Out of Our House" on your site anymore? That one would play well here, too.

Tired of Being Lied To
Music and Lyrics by David Ippolito

I am so damn tired of being lied to.
I don't think I can deny it anymore.
You can stick to your story if you think it... flies
But, I'm not gonna buy it... anymore

When I was just a kid they told me God would judge me, day and night.
The religion I was born in was the only way to heaven's light.
You follow that, as far as I can tell,
That means that most of us are goin' to hell.
The odds are better everybody's wrong than everybody's right.

(CHORUS)

I remember growin' up like a broken water main.
Once I got caught in an awkward moment my folks went insane.
My father said, "You better keep this in mind.
You keep that up, Son, and you're gonna go blind"
But if he wasn't lyin' I'd be walkin' with a long white cane!

(CHORUS)

We're surrounded, now, by liars comin' at us through our TV screens,
They're content to fight in black and white despite the many in-betweens.
We've got a President who plays with the facts,
And, then he waves the flag to cover his tracks,
As if a lie is all right if the end'll justify the means,

Now we are so damned tired of being lied to.
We don't think we can deny it anymore.
You can stick to your story if you think it... flies.
But, we're not keepin' quiet... anymore.

[David Ippolito]

3. Thanks... y'know what?

I'll make those songs free here too... just for the DUers to pass around.

Here's an abbreviated, over-dubbed version of the song you posted the lyrics for.

The original version, the entire song, I'll try to get up sometime today. And, I'll try to find the files for "Get Out Our House".

In the meantime, see you at the website. Let me know what you think of the podcast (I Love the Company) and be sure to call the show to be heard, okay?

PEACE
