Batter Up – Original

I wrote and recorded this in about an hour and mess up the words quite a bit. Another crappy phone recording in haste so I wouldn’t forget it. Which I did anyway. It’s a protest song about the establishment and you can read the lyrics below if you’re interested in what I’m trying to say.

Song Lyrics

CHORUS:
D E E D C B slide up to E
Batter Up! Yea! Yea!
E D C B
I’ll take your money or I’ll take your life
D E
Batter Up!
E D C B
Play the game and you might survive
D E
Batter Up!

Put your money where your mouth is.
Take a cut just like the masses.
Jump right in and take your chances.
We’ll show you just what real romance is.

The canyon’s wider than it was last night
I wanna jump but it seems so high
They made me think that it’s not worth a try.
But then it hit me, it’s all just a lie!

Batter Up!

BRIDGE = HALF TIME

F#m C#m
The man will come and take you away
F#m C#m Bm
And make you feel like it’s just another day

F#m C#m
And when you wake up, you’ll realize
They’re gonna cut you, right down to size

Batter Up!
————

Media stories filled with fear
You’re gonna suffer, the end is near
What can I do? Let me protect you dear!
I can help, my voice is loud and clear!

I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have to be
The way they say, you think it should be
The truth is somewhere between you and me
Look deep inside, and then you will see

Batter Up!

But you chose to save your asses.
Batter Up!
