		Fright Hear It! (3:31 / 845k)

One day long ago, John was playing on the guitar and stumbled upon a chord progression. He played around with it for a while, and the put the guitar away. Usually when that happens, by the next time John picks up the guitar to play again, he will have forgotten what he had previously developed. However, some riffs will stick, and no matter how much time passes...John will find himself returning again and again to the same music. That is the case with 'Fright'. A simple guitar riff that John could not shake--so he had to make a song with it. He called Mark one evening to play the riff over the phone. Mark commented that he was working on an idea for lyrics that might fit well with that music. Mark mentioned the theme of the lyrics was "You frighten me." John knew that was it.

You sit there planning revolution a cause I don't understand Is this the only resolution to your anger over land? You dress up like weekend warriors you propose to seize your fate And all the while your sons and daughters get their lessons from the schools of hate (Do you see how it is) You frighten me (Why don't you realize) You frighten me (Why must it be that) You frighten me You talk about the common law but hate the courts and the state You talk about your Christian values but all you value is your hate Behind you a brightly colored flag a banner we've all seen before No stars and stripes but a twisted cross echoes of an earlier horror (Do you see how it is) You frighten me (Why don't you realize) You frighten me (Why must it be that) You frighten me      True patriots died that you might be free      That you could believe what you do      Why do you dishonor their memory      By undermining what they gave to you? (Do you see how it is) You frighten me (Why don't you realize) You frighten me (Why must it be that) You frighten me Lyrics by Mark Schaefer ©2001 by HBI and Red December Music
