I did have initial wobbles, firstly struggling to make sense of the AI vocals Bill had put in his guide track, and after that thinking the backing sounded like Alter Bridge, so trying (and failing) to sing in an Alter Bridge style. Then Bill told me just to make it my own, so I did, and it was then an easy ride. I just needed a kick up the ass.

Thanks for helping me get this junk off my mind.
I've been bothered by the fake faith healers and such taking advantage
of people. They claim to heal people and if the person isn't healed they blame
it on the person due to lack of faith. They live lavish lifestyles at the expense
of poor and people struggling just to get by. They have been exposed and continue.
They give the church a bad name! They are a false religion.
They seem to copy one another. Hence the name "Monkey See Monkey Do.
Rant over ....

Monkey See Monkey Do
Monkey see monkey do
the so-called prophet reads the room
collect a survey at the door
smack them down in the name of the Lord
(Silver and gold have I much)
Silver and gold have I much
empty your pockets leave your crutch
build my empire play my game
on to the next town, do the same
prophets and healers war
masses return for more
politics are your new religion
you are drowning but think you're swimming
Wizardry in the name of Almighty
As the elect call out your er
Rebuild the tower of Babel
Your fate will surely meet you there
You blind your followers with threats from above
you disguise hate with love
Make no mistake, one day you'll stand
in judgement at Almighty's hand
Silver and gold have I much
empty your pockets leave your crutch
build my empire play my game
on to the next town, do the same
prophets and healers war
masses return for more
politics are your new religion
you are drowning but think you're swimming
Wizardry in the name of Almighty
As the elect call out your er
Rebuild the tower of Babel
Your fate will surely meet you there
You blind your followers with threats from above
you disguise hate with love
Make no mistake, one day you'll stand

Lyrics Paul Dempsey
Music-Vocals and production : Dom Mercurio (Mimmo)
The Users (PVD)
(v1)
It may surprise you
When they cry to you
But what do they hide
Then they hook you
After they took you
For a long. long ride
(chorus)
They are the users
Down deep losers
Needing to give pain to feel
You are the answer
To feed their cancer
But it’s nothing you can heal
(v2)
It may surprise you
That they lie to you
Like nothing is wrong
You are their latest mark
Just someplace to park
They won’t be staying long
(chorus)
They are the users
Down deep losers
Needing to give pain to feel
You are the answer
To feed their cancer
But it’s nothing you can heal
(bridge)
Always on the move
No need for you to approve
You’ll know when they’re gone
When they’re gone
(chorus)
They are the users
Down deep losers
Needing to give pain to feel
You are their answer
To feed this cancer
But it’s nothing you can heal

« Last post by AndyG6508 on July 20, 2024, 12:39:06 PM »Bob Wood's excellent lyric set to music.
This collaboration was started a while ago, but the finished result made the wait worthwhile.
Excellent performances from everyone, and again a special shout out to Nick for the wonderful mixes. It was especially nice to have Nick on guitars.
Two versions are posted, one with NickT's guitar solo, and other with Morsekode's cool guitar solo.

without an intervention
you have to step away
