Wrote and recorded a new song tonight. Was feeling a little anti-establishment after drinking all day (and night).

Will You Rise by Kevin Zelnio

Will you rise when they come for our houses
will you rise when they steal your hard-earned wage
Will you rise up to fight against the righteous
Or will you fall when it comes face to face

Will you cry when they take our children
Will you cry when they slap us in the face
….

will you stand up when the bankers take our money
Will you stand up when your job is gone away
…

Will you speak when you see the violence
Will you speak when they lie straight to your face
…

Will you be there at the front line
Will your fists clench and heart fill with rage
…

Nice one, Kevin.

Any chance you could post the lyrics, assuming that you can remember them

Thanks Graham! I typed them down this time

If I had more patience, I would have made a better guitar solo and added some banjo or mandolin. But alas, that was just too much work at 2am.

Thank you kindly for this, Kevin.

Comments noted, but it works as it is methinks.

Cool! I haven’t heard of Macjams. Surfed around a bit and it looks like a good community. I was using ReverbNation http://www.reverbnation.com/kevinzelnio which I like but it is more promotional, not a community.

Macjams is pretty cool. If you get a chance, check out the interview I did with their community leader, Tobin Mueller:- http://blog.macjams.com/?p=223
