Did You Think We Wouldn't Notice?*

(written by Roxie Rogers and Kevin Farrell)

 

Did you think we wouldn't notice?

 

They want us to believe all these picture perfect lies

Only half the story, undercover alibis

The images they show us, putting fear in our hearts

The poison's running rampant, gonna tear us all apart

 

Chorus:

Did you think we wouldn't notice?

My last twenty bucks was spent on gasoline

Did you think we wouldn't notice?

You jack it up, tear it down, and jack it up again

We're on this roller coaster and we can't get off

Faster every second, who takes the fall?

Did you think we wouldn't notice?

Did you think we wouldn't notice?

 

They're trying to take control, rip our life out of our hands

their so-called family values are un-American

We can't sit back and bury our heads in the sand

It's time to take some action, it's time to take a stand

 

Chorus:

Did you think we wouldn't notice?

There might be somebody listening in

Did you think we wouldn't notice?

I hang up, dial all over and they are there again

We're on this roller coaster and we can't get off

Faster every second, who takes the fall?

Did you think we wouldn't notice?

Did you think we wouldn't notice?

 

A nation built on freedom somehow became too free

Driven by addiction to money and greed

From lawsuits to healthcare, social security

The national debt is rising, where's our diplomacy?

 

Chorus:

Did you think we wouldn't notice?

Grocery bills, utilities are up again

Did you think we wouldn't notice?

Taxes, unemployment, it's all wearin' thin

We're on this roller coaster and we can't get off

faster every second, who takes the fall?

Did you think we wouldn't notice?

Did you think we wouldn't notice?

 

 

 

A WORLD THAT AIN’T MY HOME
KEVIN MICHAEL FARRELL
COPYRIGHT 2006

A COWBOY WALKED ALONE ON THE SIDE OF A NEW YORK CITY STREET
HE WAS TRYIN’ TO FIND HIS WAY BACK HOME WHEN HE WALKED RIGHT INTO ME
HE SAID I’M SORRY SIR AS HE TIPPED HIS HAT SAID I MUST HAVE LOST MY MIND
SEE MY WIFE WALKED OUT SO I HIT THE ROAD
CAUSE I DON’T WANT TO BE THE FIRST COWBOY TO CRY

(chorus)
HE SAID I LIKE TWIN FIDDLES, STEEL GUITARS
DAISY DUKE’S AND COUNTRY BARS
WRANGLER JEANS AND A SLOWER WAY OF LIFE
I WAS SEVENTEEN WHEN SHE STOLE MY HEART
SHE SWORE TO GOD THAT, WE’D NEVER PART
I LEFT THE RODEO SO SHE COULD BE MY WIFE
NOW HERE I AM, TURNING FORTY ALL ALONE
IN A WORLD THAT AIN’T MY HOME

HE SAID I DON’T WANT TO TROUBLE YOU, BUT CAN I BUY YOU A BEER
IT’S THE LEAST THAT I CAN DO AND I DON’T KNOW NOBODY HERE
BLESS YOUR HEART, NO DISRESPECT, CITY LIFE JUST AIN’T FOR ME
I SPENT TEN LONG YEARS IN A FACTORY
SO SHE COULD TAKE MY HEART AND THROW AWAY MY DREAMS

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)
IF I COULD HAVE JUST ONE MORE RIDE I KNOW
GET MY FAME EIGHT SECONDS AT A TIME
I WOULD BE THE KING OF THE RODEO
MAYBE TAKE BACK THIS LIFE OF MINE

(repeat chorus)

A COWBOY WALKED ALONE ON THE SIDE OF A NEW YORK CITY STREET
HE WAS TRYIN’ TO FIND HIS WAY BACK HOME WE HE WALKED RIGHT INTO ME
