Why I Wanted to Write This Song
No country is perfect, they all have some faults, but the saddest thing is when the people don’t get what they want from their leaders. There is no excuse for that. Everyone deserves a great democracy, a place where somebody cares about the little guys.
My excuses…
This is just a rough cut I did at home with my dad (we co-wrote it together). So please excuse the quality and the arrangement which is pretty basic. I wish it was better and would love to hear from anyone who can help out with this song (musicians, producers, video footage etc).
And we really need a hot lead guitarist for the instrumental section. Is there anyone out there? Please message me if you can help. Thanks.
Hope you like this song!

LYRICS – PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN
Copyright Info: ©2015 Alycia Meehan & Pete Meehan
INTRO
Sometimes, sometimes
You know things have to change.
Sometimes, sometimes
You know things can’t stay the same.
VERSE 1
Used to really like this place
Long before it changed its face
Now it just ain’t the same anymore.
VERSE 2
It was innocent at the start
Then the big guys ripped it apart
Oh what a shame, oh what a shame
Now it’s a free-for-all.
CHORUS
Just… put your foot, put your foot down
Yeah… Put your foot, put your foot down
Stamp your feet…on the ground.
Just… put your foot, put your foot down
Yeah… Put your foot, put your foot down
Stamp your feet…on the freaking ground.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
BRIDGE
Change, oh change
Can we have a little bit?
Of change, oh change
Can you feel the time is near for change?
CHORUS & OUTRO
Just… put your foot, put your foot down
Yeah… Put your foot, put your foot down
Stamp your feet…on the ground.
Just… put your foot, put your foot down
Yeah… Put your foot, put your foot down
Stamp your feet…on the freaking ground
Yeah….
