FAWM 2018

Liner Notes:

Wrap It Up Wednesday. The prompt, "Issues" was by @andygetch on SongSkirmish.com in June of 2017. I wrote some of the lyric then but never got any further.

Extra credit for identifying the James Dean line.

Barring an unexpected rush of inspiration this is my final FAWM submission for this year. We made FAWM great...again. Blessings on all you wonderful, creative people.

Guitars:

Doug Brown Custom Telecaster

Lyrics:

Issues
6/8/17

Issues...we're all overcome by... Issues
Issues...whatever can be done 'bout... Issues
Drowning, falling, fighting, stonewalling
Over ...Issues

Issues...we are all possesed by...Issues
Issues...our protocols are overstressed around... Issues
Helpless, painful, attitude disdainful
From ...Issues

Br
Stop your shoutin'
Quit your poutin'
Get yourself in sync
You might feel bad
But gettin' mad
Has pushed us to the brink
Now we got ...Issues
Oh yeah we do

Issues...how we gonna solve all these...Issues
Issues...we are all involved with these... Issues
Relaxed, giving, concentrate (ion) on living
Make these ...Issues... go away

No more drowning, falling, fighting, stonewalling
Over ...Issues
