Libertarian songster,
Jordan Page, talks about his music
and his journey to liberty.
I been walking a tightrope between fact and
fiction
I been wrestling with demons in small bottled
prisons
I been talking with sinners who claim to be
Christian
I been shouting at leaders who claim to be
listening
& the pendulum swings from the left to the
right
and momentum increases the need for the fight
Like a moment of blindness in a lifetime of sight
& I am caught somewhere the middle
I saw a president blind to the needs of his people
I saw a camel that passed through the eye of a
needle
I saw a group of old men whose money was evil
I saw a cross breaking free from the cage of a
steeple
I saw beggars and cripples dying in squalor
I saw a son whose sins had exceeded his father
I saw a nation of sleepers whose dreams were
forgotten
& a bushel of apples from a tree that was
rotten
& the pendulum swings from the left to the
right
as momentum increases the need for the fight
Like a blindfold when its time to walk towards the
light
& I am lost somewhere in the middle
I heard the echo of suffering in the valley of
laughter
I heard the rumble of earthquakes far under the
water
I heard a court jester whose forked tongue was
twisted
Who told us of dangers that never existed
I heard voices that claimed to be moral and
righteous
Whose lies and deceit were all dark and contagious
I heard talk of a country that valued its freedom
But when I protested I was arrested and beaten
& the pendulum swings from the left to the
right
As momentum increases the weight and the height
But if nobody's listening, is anyone right?
& I can't seem to find the key to the riddle
