Topic: "No Respect"

this song came from reading different newspaper reports and the devastation left behind.

NO RESPECTby Robert Bonsall 17/9/08


Chorus                                                                                 


[C]What a crazy world we[G] live in,


There's murder,stabbings and[C] pain,


Goverments don't seem to[C] care no more,


Theres[F] no res-[G]pect for the[C] la-w.




1/


[C]How can we live in a[G] society,


When its[F] not safe to leave your [C] home,


There's brain-dead stupid [F]man-iacs,


[G]Ru-in-ing ou-r[C] liv-es.




Chorus                                                                                 


[C]What a crazy world we[G] live in,


There's murder,stabbings and[C] pain,


Goverments don't seem to[C] care no more,


Theres[F] no res-[G]pect for the[C] la-w.




2/


[C]Its hard enough to[G] lose loved ones,


To[F] natural dis-asters and[C] wars,


But when it is [G]a-void-able,


Theres[F] no res-[G]pect for the [C]law.




Chorus                                                                                 


[C]What a crazy world we[G] live in,


There's murder,stabbings and[C] pain,


Goverments don't seem to[C] care no more,


There's[F] no res-[G]pect for the[C] la-w.




3/


[C]Lock e'm up,and[F] take e'm down,


[G]Make our stre-ets [C]safe,


Stop those who[F] o-ffend u-s,


So[C] we can get[G] respect once[C] mo-re.




Chorus                                                                                 


[C]What a crazy world we[G] live in,


There's murder,stabbings and[C] pain,


Goverments don't seem to[C] care no more,



Theres[F] no res-[G]pect for the[C] la-w.




4/


[C]There's children getting kidnapped[G] every-day,


To[F] fuel the vile pae-do-phile[C] rings,


[F]Soldiers getting shot ar[C]ound the world,


Just[G] to protect our [C]lives.




Chorus                                                                                 


[C]What a crazy world we[G] live in,


There's murder,stabbings and[C] pain,


Goverments don't seem to[C] care no more,


There's[F] no res-[G]pect for the[C] la-w.




5/


[C]Suicide bombers go[G] out to maim,


[F]Bra-in-wash-ed b-y a[C] fe-w,


[F]Life is sacred and[C] should be saved,


To[G] make the world a-[C]new.




Chorus                                                                                 


[C]What a crazy world we[G] live in,


There's murder,stabbings and[C] pain,


Goverments don't seem to[C] care no more,


Theres[F] no res-[G]pect for the[C] la-w.




6/


[C]This song could go on for[G] ever-more,


But[F] if you ge-t the [C]point,


[F]Prot-ect all the things you[C] value in life,


To[G] bring u-s a-ll wor-ld [C]pea-ce.




Chorus                                                                                 


[C]What a crazy world we[G] live in,


There's murder,stabbings and[C] pain,


Goverments don't seem to[C] care no more,


Theres[F] no res-[G]pect for the[C] la-w.

Re: "No Respect"

Good song Daddycool,

Total lack of parental control, Drugs , drink, money, and the unadulterated greed nowadays for material things.

to my way of thinking  leads to " No Respect".

Re: "No Respect"

Hi Daddycool,

A thought provoking number. There is an element of parents seem to neglect to teach disipline and respect to their offspring these days. Police and teachers are unable to issue the short, sharp punishment that, in my youth, helped keep us on the straight and narrow. Your song is a reminder of this. Thank you,

Roger

Re: "No Respect"

Hi Daddy
The dire portrait you paint in your song is very depressing but has humanity really changed. I know myself that I would rather live now then at any time in the past.
I think the media of all kinds has a big bearing on how the world is pecieved by us all. Reporting everything that is bad and very rarely mentioning anything positive.
just my thoughts
