about

Not much is more stifling then a summers heat in the ghetto.
A young man walks the streets as he does each and every day.
A sense of hopelessness is in all the familiar faces, as well as the strain of a dead end existence.
Everyone seems to be waiting.
The singer decides his wait is over and he's pledging to have his anger overcome the apathy of the streets.
He will lead, and hopes that others will follow.
After all, his anger is their anger, and his desperation is their desperation.

lyrics

Our Times Now 3/1/79

Walking thru the life in the street
Nothing is much harder than to keep
Your head from bowing low from the strain
Your faith, hope and love from getting stained

Down to far down
Running ‘round
Not too proud
Lazy, feeling eighty
Much too hasty
And let down

Waiting to see someone make it go
Cutting thru the muck much to slow
Give me another dime says a man
Who says this every morning
Since I was a lad

Shrouds bring them down
Going now, I will plow
Many of us angry
We will not stand it
Out times now
