Story Behind The Song
Just a frustration in seeing people mouth morality and act entirely in self interest.
I'm trying to remind people that it doesn't take much for the mask of civility to slip, and we are faced with the real nature in each other and ourselves.

Lyrics
ALL YOU GOT LEFT IS ME
Hey little brother, take a good look about...
No use talking peace if killing's the best way out.
No use making laws that galvanise the lies.
No use being a strong man if you're broken when she cries.
All you've got left is me, All you've got left is me, All you've got left is me,
The woman knows,if the gasket blows, I'm her worst reality.
Hey little sister, take a good look about...
No use talking soft, if all that can be heard is a shout.
No use living dreams, if the world's outside your head.
No use being a virgin after all the good men are dead.
Preaching from the pulpit and sleeping with the maid.
Watching others die of thirst when you're drinking in the shade.
All the time knowing what's right and still doing what's best for you.
Sweet little sister, when your bad seems good, your worst is easier to do.
