pull the wool
Track 7, Pull the Wool.
Musically it’s kind of neat how this one starts. It’s just Chandler and one guitar quietly going on…kind of an 80’s California vibe almost.
It was written during a time when a lot of people were locked down and locked in!
It sort of follows a story of someone who doesn’t want to go outside during this time for fear of the crazy way many people are acting.
The person is talking about how the media has changed, how there seem to be more lies and opinions and agendas being pushed, than actual unbiased, professional journalism.
They see how the media is trying to “pull the wool” over our eyes.
It’s a self-explanatory song … what I hope you get out of it is to “use your common sense”. If what you’re hearing doesn’t seem right, investigate, and use common sense. There is a lot of information out there … just use common sense.
Oh, and to rock out!
PULL THE WOOL
(Waters)
i live in a world, most everyone’s crazy
i try to stay inside, so nothing can phase me
i used to watch the news and read the paper,
but there’s no rhyme or reason
much of what they tell you are lies
pull the wool right over your eyes
they try to get ya to believe the lies
a sheep’s clothing is a wolf’s disguise
they’ll pull the wool right over your eyes
i try to get out in the morning and make my
way back home by noon
my friends’ will tell me i’m a reclus, but i don’t
believe in what they do
you’re going down, so down, there’s nothing
you can do about it
you’re going down, all the way down
we’ve always known you’re full of shit
let me see those hands in the air, everybody shout,
shout it out so you’re sick of this shit, do the
harlem shuffle, ya, do the shuffle, had to do that
they don’t care about the people, we got our
lives to live and we don’t have time to
put up with your lies and deception,
we’re back in the saddle again, momma
now the grand illusion’s over, for at least another day
returned the power to the people and took the crooks away
