My time in Northeast Pennsylvania has had lasting impressions, to say the least. Throughout touring, I see many of the atrocities of the world at work against people of color, people of lesser privilege, and the working class. Balancing this with the fact that close friends of mine work for big corporations, I witnessed a court case in which the judge was leased to the prosecution and then asked them if they were buying his lunch, and our brothers and sisters are losing everything for the profit of the few, I figured a sarcastic ditty about being 'Wild, Silly, And Free' was appropriate... the first of 3 singles off my sophomore album Experiencing Turbulence. please learn this tune. the earth needs more troubadours. xx Penn –––––––––––––– Lyrics/Chords: Capo 3 (explanations relative to capo placement) –––––––––––––––––– Verse: C, F, C, G, *repeat x2* –––––––––––––––––– Well how do you protect the ones you love when some others you love rely on the former being abused?
