New Year, New Song. It's that simple.

Happy New Year, everyone! Hope you had a good 2008 and will enjoy health and prosperity in 2009.

A lot of us worry too much. We worry about little things, we worry about big things. Sometimes we can't tell the difference. We like to talk about what we're worryin' on. I guess that's what this song is about. Sort of. 

Critical Issues (get the .mp3 here!)
(c) 2009 Mark Frey

Lint in my pocket, the status of talks
noise that it's making, child safety locks.
Which is the strongest, who is to blame
where's my enigma, does he love you the same?

Guns in our grade schools, the price of the show
that dream that you're chasing
hey, no-one will know...

Critical issues, these are critical issues
the meat of the matter, a critical issue.

Drinking and driving, embezzlement news
broken colliders, nothing to lose!
Blood on the sidewalk, what we're having for lunch
framing the image, spikes in the punch.

Whom did he sleep with, when did it break
cultural cesspool
is it a sin to like steak?

Critical issues, they're all critical issues
the crux of the biscuit, a critical issue.

Randomized survey, unstable market
which way is up, where can we park it?
Junk in the sky, ice in my drink
the color of money, what will she think?

Trouble with OPEC, fields of fire
reasons for leaving
the length of the wire...

Critical issues, these are critical issues
the point that I'm making, a critical issue.

Critical issues, so many critical issues
the tip of the iceberg, a critical issue.
