about

This song is written with sadness in my heart about the continual unfairness of the distribution of wealth and power etc from the people who are mainly born with this random luck - which feeds into our hearts and effects our ability to share more important things - like kindness etc.. I'm not sure the effects of social media (here i am using it for all it's worth, oh the irony..) helps either...

lyrics

LYRICS
A little can mean a lot - that's how are defined
One tiny thought going round in my mind
Like the time I laughed at someone else's pain
safe in the shadows of the voyeurs game

The law of attraction has a lasting effect
How many blind eyes do I turn - to a world I just don't get?

CHORUS
How fair is fair?
How we judge who we care for?
Who decides who is there for?
How do we choose who wins, and who has to lose?

For one tiny action can have a lasting effect
The blind will lead the blind into the arms of regret tell me

How fair is fair?
How we judge who we care for?
Who decides who is there for?
Is it the favoured or the fallen - who holds the key?
Do I smile back at the mirror....like an innocent child?

Ooohh I just can't see
What lies behind the eyes when I look at me
OOhh how fair is fair
How we judge who we care for?
Who decides who is there for?
Is it just the lucky few - like you, like me
Smiling into the eyes of complicity?
Bedding down with greed and dishonesty...

I'll shake that hand....
Yes I'll lick that hand that feeds my reality
And I'll smile back - when I look at
Me
