Song information
The title came to be in my last hours of sleep, several years ago.I started with a drum beat and my brain told my fingers to do the rest.. I kind of miss my Akai keyboard.. may it rest in peace

Lyrics
A Walking Battlefield

© all rights reserved 2017 jdorrance

1.
He's a walking battlefield;
Mind and body made of steel
Runs a well oiled machine;
Sworn to keep the country clean

Woh, woh, stand up
Stand tall
Woh, woh, stand up
Stand tall
ooooh


Stand up, stand tall
Hail, hail
to the chief;
Turn up a new leaf


2.
The opposition knows no bounds;
Day by day they're shooting rounds
 He walks the talk then their heads spin;
He's a blunt force to reckon with;

Woh, woh, stand up
Stand tall
Woh, woh, stand up
Stand tall

Woh, woh, stand up
Stand tall
Woh, woh, stand up
Stand tall

( vocal bridge)

Uncivil war is waged;
Pre-planned confusion;
The Goblin Brigade of
Intrusion; massive delusion

Woh, woh, stand up
Stand tall
Woh, woh, stand up
Stand tall

Woh, woh, stand up
Stand tall
Woh, woh, stand up
Stand tall

(outro)
The big upsetter;
The sharp go-getter
Verses the losers;
Abuse excusers

Pretty cool here.  The big drum parts and instrumentation reminds me of 80's new wave pop, while the melody and harmonies bring the early 60's girl group era to mind (Ronettes, Dixie Cups etc) .  Vocals are always top.notch
  Great job.

Funny how some folks are always shouting "Democracy," until it turns out the majority of the people dissent from their views and programs. The same folk then weaponize the Justice system, stifle debate, burn, loot, rape, kill, generate division, fear and hysteria. (When they're not brainwashing and/or mutilating children...) Did they ever really believe in Democracy? Of course not! They were lying all along. Is this good or is it evil? The question answers itself...
What a great song Joyce!

@Venturesome : Thank you for your interesting observation. Much appreciated.
@Wyndsok : Mike, I hear ya'.. the word 'democracy' is being overused to the point of !@#$.. In the U.S. we're a Constitutional Republic. My eyes have opened up so much, the past several years.. Thank you so much!!!!
@Dyl : Wow, now that I hadn't thought of ( Nancy/B52's)  I am smiling at hearing how members have such vast inputs in how they hear this- I am glad I let this one out of the box- thanks so so much!
@yoslounge :  Omar- thank you so much and yes the beat is infectious!!

@Barretok :  Thank you verymuch for your listen and input..I am glad a rocker such as yourself like this! Playing drums was always the biggest challenge for me on the AKAI and as I recall I may have used a drum loop plus my own playing in parts
