David Lingabee Songs & Songwriting

You appear into this world,
Not knowing what’s in store,
You probably know the feeling
as it dulls you when you’re bored.

Waiting for an answer
to what you still don’t know,
You know you’ve needed something for
what seems so hard to show.

You’ve always needed a helping hand,
It’s part of how we grow,
Drugged or beaten or even worse,
Too many times ago.

Chorus
The betrayal of our children,
Been going on for years,
Slowly lulled into a life
that ends in loss and tears.
Learning helped by drugging
An insidious scam at best,
Beating children senseless because
they didn’t act like the rest.
_______

Revelations coming
of who’s been doing what,
Just don’t forget the many years
of those who liked to swat.

Our body cellular memories,
They know what went on then,
They felt the pain of being hit,
Despite the blur of when.

Children are affected
by torture, drugs and hate,
Treating children in that way
ensures a hidden fate.

Chorus
The betrayal of our children,
Been going on for years,
Slowly lulled into a life
that ends in loss and tears.
Learning helped by drugging
An insidious scam at best,
Beating children senseless because
they didn’t act like the rest.
_______

You go to school to learn things,
Then something doesn’t make sense,
Your willingness can’t just sort it out
So you’re placed outside the fence.

Psychs are there to guide you now,
Instead of what you expect,
They tell you about your new disease
that only they select.

You now feel drugged while learning,
Hard to think things through,
You’re urged to keep on taking drugs
Trusting as we do.

Bridge
We’re used to blindly trusting
who shape and mold our fate,
Hard catching on to who betrays
before it’s way too late.
