Is It Too Much To Ask?

about

inspired by the late Pete Seeger

lyrics

is it too much to ask?
is it too much to ask?
to put down your gun,
and take off your mask
is it too much to ask?
is it too much to ask? sing it
is it too much to ask?
to stick out your hand
and open your flask
is it too much to ask?

is it too much to ask?
the ship is sinking fast
but, old clearwater just around the bend
is it too much to ask?
God said to build an ark
and everybody laughed
the water rose
the people froze
and that’s all they said about that

R:

is it too much to ask
to give a man some bread?
if you ignore his soul for a long long time
he’ll put a bullet in your head
i said
Noah built an ark
he sailed it on the flood
Moses had a swarm of locust
and a river of blood
that’s right

R:

is it too much to ask
to let one live in peace?
you can move his border
a thousand times
he’ll never get relief
cause you know we stole his land
with a manifested lie
but as soon as he wants to share that dream
you wanna cage him til he dies

about

J.T. Makoviecki Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I've been making music since I could sing to James Brown and Phil Collins as a 3 year old. Ever since I've recorded however possible: tape deck, 8track, MacBook, etc. I use raw recording techniques and low-fi equipment to make music with my friends.

enjoy.
