Air Guitar

by V. Blake

ya gotta admire the disdain
i still manage to muster, or bluff
when ya tell me there ain't no love songs left
in those broken-down hands of yours,
but i guess i can't really blame ya
if ya can't learn to trust emotion
in a world that'll sell ya fifty feet of razor wire
for the price of a guitar string.

but man,
they just don't write 'em like that anymore.

As you breathe on the picture, you're sharp on the sound, Vince. ♪ ♫

..." learn to trust emotion in a world that'll sell ya fifty feet of razor wire"...the whole drift of the pome is right-on, yet that line is soooo heavy duty. i concur with the Gabe.

Not my favorite voice, but I like it. Short and poignant though, which makes the voice fitting. Overall, I'm a fan.
