This song damned near made a guru out of me for about two days. But I let it all slip away.
folk surreal satire
I've always considered myself folk, but I play an electric guitar, so you figure it out. I'm just a guy with some cheesy equipment. Sheet music really helps me
I'm just an old man recording in a basement. The band is an AdrenaLinn effects and drum machine, some amps and some guitars

Story behind the song
I hit a little protesty perriod during the bush years; I got very strident after a while -- seems all smoke and foolishness now, as does every bar of music I ever recorded. Oh well.
Lyrics
Chain of Lies Don't you know they're lying son They'll do anything to get their way. Do you think I'm kidding you? I'm not, you see it on the box every day. One man says the world is mud And another says it's clay Behind both sides the factions line And they don't care who gets in the way. (Chorus) Can't you see it's a chain of lies that they forged up link by link And to know the truth and break the chain you have to learn to think You have to learn to think. Can't you see that the truth can't live In the light of some damned box The truth is found where gardens grow And the geese head north in flocks. It doesn't come from a rock star Singing on MTV But from men and women of mellow mind Living in liberty (Chorus)
