DESCRIPTION:
This is my favorite artist (and good friend) playing at Common Grounds Coffee House in Lexington Kentucky. The sound quality is OK, but check out his MySpace (www.MySpace.com/daveapplegate) for better sound quality. You can also check him out at www.daveapplegate.com. He writes all his own lyrics and music and they are amazing.

Politician's Ploy
Saw a sign said, "Pray For Peace" - I turned away
It was a politician's plot; I prayed anyway
I'm sick and tired of politicians and their scheming games
But I will use the tools they play with properly

Saw a sign, "Support Your Troops" - I turned away
It was a politician's ploy; I encouraged anyway
I'm done with dems and G.O.P.'s and their momentous games
But I will use the tools they play with properly

Beauty's found in humbleness and not in power trips
The torso of this government sits on the latter's hips
Public service is a lie the servants tell themselves
Just so they can dull the thought that liars go to hell
Our government's a rich mistress with services to sell

I've seen the news on CNN, I saw the news on Fox
I deduce we won't get the truth by watching the idiot box
The truth's confused and misconstrued by money's talking heads
The truth is found in kneeling alone beside your bed
The truth is found eating with friends and living after death
The truth is found in Jesus Christ just like the good book says
