Who Will Be Next? is Joe Purdy's most recent album.
I spend most of my new songs trying to stay out of political views directly, and trying to find common themes that resonate with people on a more basic human level, encouraging folks just to be more kind to one another.
But with that said, I don't believe that we can afford to let a man with such disregard for basic human decency anywhere near the head of our American table.
There’s a man who wants the White House for his personal TV show wants his face on all the money wants his name on all the roads Says he can make us great again Says that he knows how He’s gonna build a wall big and tall and kick everybody out It’s just another reason that people can’t get along Pickin’ sides of the USA Treat me like a human I’ll treat you like the same Maybe we’ll all get along someday Well they're changing up the districts to keep the white kids white to keep the black kids poor and Spanish speakers out they say that it’s all equal just like it used to be just stay on your own side of town with help just out of reach It’s just another reason that people can’t get along Hangin’ on to their same old ways Treat me like a human I’ll treat you like the same Maybe we’ll all get along someday I don’t know much about politics don’t know much about war don’t know much about killin’ or what all this killin’s for don’t know much about weapons but it seems like common sense the more bullets in a rifle the more bullets gettin’ spent It’s just another reason that people can’t get along fightin’ over the American way Treat me like a human I’ll treat you like the same Maybe we’ll all get along someday Maybe we’ll all get along someday
