about

The fifth album by one of Sweden’s most prolific singer/songwriters, LB [Lars Bygdén], that dealt with the sorrow, love and loss and the events surrounding his wife’s death, has been his most successful yet. On his first single release since the album, LB moves in a new and somewhat more political direction with a tune that’s almost prophetic in its lyrics. The song builds from a solo guitar into a mighty rock song with a catchy refrain.

lyrics

Hear Ye, Hear Ye
Listen to what I say
All you cowboys get your guns and run like hell

Study the bible
Don't learn how to read
Be like Jesus
By living a life of greed

Give me water
‘Cause I'm about to drown
Medication ‘cause I’m safe and sound

Give me silence
Please shout it in my face
Give us peace now
By dropping the bomb on them

They poisoned the rivers
And they poisoned our minds
They promise you spaceships
They will leave you behind

Write a novel
Just because you’ve got nothing to say
Fight the power
Cause you've got something to sell

Hear Ye, Hear Ye
I resign, I rest my case
Sleep for a thousand years
See you in a better place

They leveled the forests
They leveled your thoughts
I just can’t stay here
I have to go
I’m coming home now
I’m coming to you
I sail on my spaceship
I sail to the to the moon
