Home Grown - Stand Up!
We first released this Country style get-out-the-vote anthem shortly before the 2022 election here in the USA. And holy cow, it's even more relevant as we write these notes in July of 2024.

Lyric
It's so much hotter than it used to be in summertime Flood waters fill our streets, 'cause it rains so hard Out west the fires rage now almost all year 'round Leaving so much that we love, all burned up and scarred Stand up for those who live in constant danger Don't let petty allegations get in your way Vote blue for the survival of our democratic nation Don't let greed, fear and hate rule the day They're going after folks of different colors again And those who pray or love, in a different way They're banning books and hiding from our troubling past Leaving little hope that others, can see a brighter day Stand up for those who live in constant danger Don't let petty allegations get in your way Vote blue for the survival of our democratic nation Don't let greed, fear and hate rule the day The fat cats pour their money into Washington Keeping worker's wages low, and profits high Now it's time that we remind them this is our land too And we don't want politicians, not the ones that they can buy Stand up for those who live in constant danger Don't let petty allegations get in your way Vote blue for the survival of our democratic nation Don't let greed, fear and hate rule the day
