Je Suis Charlie

thetworegs

I wrote these lyrics in response to the tragedy that happened in Paris this week and i put them up in a response to a song by Geo’s (Dobrodaddy) track in memory of slain innocence and Geo responded with voice and guitar, i added a backing vocal to the Chorus…Thank you Geo
Je Suis Charlie
i draw whats on my mind
i’ll say just what i please
the word gives us freedom
that is why we bleed
if your offended, do you really understand
are you looking at it properly
or are you another with a murder planned

je suis Charlie
je suis Charlie

you act with your violence
to silence the word
to strangle our right to freedom to be heard
that is just absurd
your success is your failure
as your acts deplore the world
your nothing but the murderer and your message will not be heard

je suis Charlie
je suis Charlie

massacre and mayhem
you have brought it to us all
to try turn us against our brothers
this is not religion at all
power is your struggle
why can’t you use the word
like the teenager with the rifle
your message will not be heard

je suis Charlie
je suis Charlie

I draw whats on my mind
i’ll say just what i please
the word gives us freedom
that is why we bleed
if your offended, do you really understand
are you looking at it properly
or are you another with a murder planned

je suis Charlie
je suis Charlie
je suis Charlie
je suis Charlie
