A musical vlog about another State injustice. Played on The Unicorn 3 string GBG Images from "Millions of Us" [Public Domain].AloneWhy don't you leave him all aloneHe never does you any harmHe has no place to call his ownUntil his time to buy the farmAnd he walks by here every dayAnd smiles within his grinning soulHe has no need for wealth or shamewhatever's missing makes him wholeWhy don't you leave her all aloneshe shouts at strangers as she roamsbut doesn't need to have a friendbesides the bags she calls her homeLike him she left her past behindA tale not wanting to be toldDon't lock them up for being blindTo what has led them to the roadWhy don't you leave them all aloneStop watching cos you'll never seeWhat makes them be what they becomeWhat gave them their dependencyLet them leech and let them askAnd if you give for no returnYou'll never set their hands to taskAnd no-one here will ever learnWhy don't you leave us all aloneThe more you take the less we giveDon't need you spying on our homeSo let it be and just let liveWe don't want to have to bleedAnd we don't want to have to lieBut when you squeeze and take no heedyou just ensure the truth is dryRW 2010

@Willard - it has 2 pickups - I used the piezo for the rhythm and the coil for the bass and lead runs to give it a bit of flavour
@Bob and Tres - well it is kind of based on a guy who hit the road here just after we moved in town 2 years ago - always seems to be smiling about some inner secret and will never talk to us. Actually the council here gave the tramps a tent each last winter which is better than nothing I guess

A tale not wanting to be told
Don't lock them up for being blind
