All Around Here

about

Plays with the ideas of Eckhart Tolle about the ego and how it lies at the heart of our social dysfunction.

lyrics

chorus: Ego is so funny wants power and money
wants to dominate nature feel superior and always overlooking the safety ego's seeking is all around here

1.
The president, congress and the judge
turn around spinnin their wheels in the mud their eyes up in the rafters cause they think that what they're after is up there in the cloudy banks anywhere but here

2.
Violence entices you to say
will give you everything you want some day
take away their lives and all that that implies
and take away the lovely spoils anywhere but here
chorus
3.
Most every bridge and building that we made
embodies the values that we need to change
enough to bring a tear the core emotion fear
is runnin the show so anywhere but here

4.
Dollars into Euros Euros into Yen
none of it will bring you to the state of Zen
that will only happen when you get your satisfaction
from the moment you're in not anywhere but here
repeat 4. and chorus

about

Tom Ferguson has been writing songs since 1969, all of which are collected in Songs, 1969-2009, which actually continues to ... more grow beyond 2009 - but I like the even number 40 in that title. It's coil-bound to nicely fit a music stand, available at lulu.com just search tom ferguson there. I'm now in process of recording those songs and bunching them in albums on bandcamp. less
