Song Information:
I pretty much wrote this as an assignment at the Kerrville folk festival this year. I think of it as a "blurt" -- just getting out feelings rather than reasoning & choosing words. This is an updated version with a fuller arrangement, which was inspired by hearing local Boston band "Reverend Glasseye".
Song Lyrics:
Your convictions are my afflictions
What lifts you up just brings me down
I can't imagine it makes you happy
To see the pain you spread around
Your position in this world
Makes you think that you are right
You got the power for an hour
But come the time, I will fight
And if Hell were any hotter
And if my thoughts could feed the fire
I would burn up every copy
Of everything that you desire
Your convictions are my afflictions
Your evidence is not conclusive
Your insinstence on your revisions
Is something I find so destructive
There are children in Sao Paolo
Who have never heard your name
They run the streets and try to eat
But they don't play your stupid games
And if Hell were any hotter
and if my thoughts could feed the fire
I would burn up every copy of everything that you desire
I would place them on a bonfire
With all your lies and lists of names
Of every one in all the prisons
Who never hurt a mortal soul
'Cause your convictions
Are my afflictions
