Jeff Gordon's listening history
July 8 - Used the following songwriting prompt: write a song in the form of a step-by-step process, and use the progression Bm, F#m, G, Em. This was hard at first, and then I came up with something from my own past that I thought might work…

Another protest song, the state of our country and world has been on my mind.
VERSE:
Smoke and confusion

Leaders telling lies
Darkness in the cities
Militia on the ground
They wear the worst disguise
