This song is for the collaboration contest on the Musesmuse site. Lyrics are by Tracy starsinmyeyes and I've written and performed the music. What a great time this was. This version has some mixing choices... is a bit louder... and lead guitar.

Story behind the song
Entered the monthly collaboration contest on the Muse and Tracy and I were tasked to come up with a protest song. I've always liked rocking protest songs like Rocking in the Free World and Revolution so I went in that direction. Here's what happened...
Lyrics
Crowded Table Men and their pursuits Like a sea of numbers all dressed up in suits They look the same now it's the beginning of the game Their prospecting in our pockets raising up a river of shame Gambling fever rushed like a hot river Gambling fever rises like a hot river Overflowing through the town hot river Taking all our families down hot river Hot river taking everybody down There's a woman slumped in her chair Drained with the shame it frames in her empty stair Where did it go now she knows the rent is due but piranhas have no mercy especially when you cannot swim Gambling fever rushed like a hot rivere Gambling fever rises like a hot river Overflowing through the town hot river Taking all our families down hot river Hot river taking everybody down Will you feed the child or the machine?
