Here is a rock number with a bit of a George Orwell/"1984" theme. I wrote this one as the introductory music for a guy I know that has a radio show.
Big thanks to DocMidnight for his many oustanding guitar parts. Also, thanks to CosmicDolphin for tips on the final mix.
Hope you enjoy it.

NOTHING'S WHAT IT SEEMS
(Benny Moore)
(Verse 1)
The unconcerned fool that you are, you better wake up and see
The shadowy kings of the earth, they'll take away your pride and your dignity
Steal every dime you have
And leave you holding the bag
(Chorus)
Something's going on
You know it's not the way it's supposed to be
There's something very wrong
This nightmare that you're living's really not a dream
Nothing's what it seems
(Verse 2)
Right is wrong, good is bad; reality is redefined
Baby can't you figure it out - the "Ministry of Truth" is messing with your mind
They sent you to the government schools
Where they taught you not to break the rules
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
The mighty people that once had it all
Now they've got our backs against the wall
Make us beg; make us crawl
While the world cheers our meteoric fall
(Verse 3)
They closed the banks today; gotta turn your brother and your money in
Went by the church today; it might be the last chance to save your skin
Fought your way through the crowd
Just to see they burned it down
(Chorus)
