Marty,
I think this thread has drifted quite a bit from where it started.

John and I were just co-writing, trying to capture a feeling more than make a political statement. I really appreciate the direction the lyric took.
I’m not looking to get into a broader political debate here - there are plenty of other places for that. I’d prefer to keep this thread about the songwriting itself.
Thanks for listening and for the input. It's sad you didn't say anything about the song.

@John: I re-sent you the song in WAV format.
