This is a song I wrote and recorded last February. It came out of a discussion I had with Lucia. It must have been about people who are mean and cruel, but say they are followers of some famous middle eastern guy, who was known as a peace and love promoter.

You Follow Me? by Willy Grigg 2/1/2025

When I was hungry, you gave me nothing to eat
When I was thirsty, you gave me nothing to drink
I was a stranger, you drove me out most violently
You’ve got a nerve, to say you follow me

When I was naked, you had no clothes for me
When I was sick, you had no sympathy
I was in prison / you wouldn’t come and set me free
You’ve got a nerve, to say you follow me

You look so pure and holy, when you fold your hands to pray
But when your brothers need you, you look the other way

It’s plain to see, you enjoy my misery / I heard you say, I deserve my poverty
There’s not an ounce of kindness in your whole philosophy
You’ve got a nerve to say you follow me
