about
ABOUT THE SONG:
I wrote “The Decline Of Nations” in 2015 while thinking about the horrors of the Syrian Civil War and refugee crisis, as well as expressing an internal wish for Ruth Bader Ginsberg to never retire. It’s taken on an amplified meaning for me now — a rallying cry to myself (and everyone else) to stay engaged and never give up!

LYRICS:
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
This is the decline of nations
This is the decline of nations
This is the decline of nations
Promise me you’ll stay until you try to make things right
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
This is the decline of nations
This is the decline of nations
This is the decline of nations
Put me in a box and send me off into the night
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
What’s that you say? I must not have heard right, cause I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
What if I block out all the noise circling, passing by?
Strangle thoughts and images, keep them from my tender eyes?
Will it keep me innocent? Halo-topped? Conscious clean?
Or will I see them in my mind, in my head, in my dreams?
Yeah, I still see them in my mind, in my head, in my dreams.
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
What’s that you say? I must not have heard right, cause I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
This is the decline of nations
This is the decline of nations
This is the decline of nations
Promise me you’ll stay until you
Promise me you’ll stay (hey!)
Promise me you’ll stay until you try to make things right
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
This is the decline of nations
This is the decline of nations
This is the decline of nations
Promise me you’ll stay until you try to make things right
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
This is the decline of nations
This is the decline of nations
This is the decline of nations
Put me in a box and send me off into the night
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
What’s that you say? I must not have heard right, cause I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
What if I block out all the noise circling, passing by?
Strangle thoughts and images, keep them from my tender eyes?
Will it keep me innocent? Halo-topped? Conscious clean?
Or will I see them in my mind, in my head, in my dreams?
Yeah, I still see them in my mind, in my head, in my dreams.
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
What’s that you say? I must not have heard right, cause I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe, no, I don’t believe a word
This is the decline of nations
This is the decline of nations
This is the decline of nations
Promise me you’ll stay until you
Promise me you’ll stay (hey!)
Promise me you’ll stay until you try to make things right
