New X-Patriate (Alan Lipman): More and More Like a Civil War

New X-Patriate: More and More Like a Civil War. From the upcoming release "The Cost" (2007).

Great song and timely commentary, with music that combines world influences with the Police and Paul Simon.

Intelligent, ironic and thoughtful music and video.

The mirror effect is great! It evokes the sharp dividing line yet of the "two sides" of the civil war--as well as the "talking out of two sides of the mouth" and double talk of the political process.

Filmed entirely on location in Washington, DC. Again, Lipman wrote the music and lyrics, does all of the vocals, plays all of the instruments. And he directed the video. Whew.

Listen.

LYRICS

More and More Like a Civil War

Alan J. Lipman


More and more like a civil war
Much less civil than it was before
Used to be a battle
Now its something more
More and more like a civil war
More and more like a civil war
More and more like a civil war

More and more
Like the lines are drawn
Likelihood of pact or peace
Is likely gone

Arm the ramparts
And retract the dawn
More and more
Like the lines are drawn
More and more
Like the lines are drawn

More and more like a civil war
Much less civil than it was before
Basically they're pushing
At an open door

More and more like a civil war
Every single fragile bond
Has finally tore
More and more like a civil war
Grasp the staff
With an unholy roar
More and more like a civil war
More and more like a civil war
More and more like a civil war
