    Story Behind the Song
    Written in Canada a month before the IRAQ war. It took 20 minutes to write it.
    I recorded it at home by myself. It's not a perfect recording but it captured a perfectly honest moment.

    Lyrics
    A Mouses Crumb

    To take away a mouses crumb
    You use your finger and your thumb
    You close your eyes and then play dumb
    Removed from guilt, you take the crumb.

    Leave no specks or evidence
    A trace of hope kept in suspense
    Keep them shaking on the fence
    Take the crumb, their last defense

    Move the mighty ships of war
    Missiles pointed at their door
    Strip their wealth and keep them poor
    Bring me your rich, for I need more.


    While bombs burst in the mid-air
    Mustn't care what soul lay there
    The poisoned trap is set to snare
    These are the casualties we spare

    To take away a mouses crumb
    You use your finger and your thumb
    You close your eyes and then play dumb
    Removed from guilt, you take the crumb.
