about
There is an old Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times".
Perhaps there's more than one kind of "infection" to blame for our current "interesting times".
It’s in the air, it’s everywhere
My love, we live in interesting times
And anyone at all can share it
Alas, we live in interesting times
Some are worried, call for change
Others laugh and see no danger
If you got gold, you can buy the news
And facts can be whatever you choose
The world is burnin’ up with fevers,
Shakin’ with storms and hellish leaders
The real disease ain’t nothin’ new
It’s been around longer than me and you
Friends, the cure we really need
Is for hate and fear and lies and greed
Alas, we live in interesting times
Feeling hopeless? That’s too easy
My love, we live in interesting times
There’s work to do, so let’s get busy
And let us end these interesting times
There’s work to do, so let’s get busy
And let us end these interesting times

songs grounded in the folk tradition but which take an unusual, often humorous perspective on traditional classics.
