Lyrics for Song: The Man Who Loved Beer 
Lyrics for Album: Grown Backwards [2004]
  
               
  1997>To whom can I speak today
  The brothers they are equal
  But the old friends of today
  They have become unlovable
 
 
  To whom can I speak today
  The gentleness has perished
  And the violent man has come down on everyone
 
 
  To whom can I speak today
  The wrong which roams the earth
  There can be no end to it
  It is just unstoppable
 
 
  Death is in my sights today
  As when a man desires
  To see home after many years in jail
 
 
  February through December
  We have such a tragic year
  As separate as the fingers
  Suddenly - as one - as the hand
 
 
  And the violent man has come down on everyone
  And the violent man has come down on everyone
