	Story Behind the Song Stale: An acoustic rock song with a funky bass line in the bridge. The song speaks to the frustrations of corporate indentured servitude, and trying to retain innocence or some semblance of freedom when surrounded by things that seem to steal us of our lives while giving us our “livelihood.” Lyrics Hey I feel like I’ve been cheated Cause repetition is so unkind When you’re caught between desire and reality And there’s nothing to ease a tortured mind Chorus: Smoke and Mirrors, checks and balances In a system of wasted talents and… Its hard to keep the child like faith When the air is getting stale. Verse 2: My friends say this is good for me, (is it good for me?) Go look around and see what’s out there Cause the smoke of simplicity is killin me And I need to breathe some freer air Chorus Bridge Outro over verse chords x 8 (smoke and mirrors, checks and balances, smoke and mirrors) Its hard to keep the child like faith… Copyright 2002 Jeremy Manjorin
