Quotes on the single from Chris Barry of Grass Mud Horse

"...It was a facebook fight! Two keyboard warriors where going at it, calling each other "millenial", "boomer", "gammon" etc. Somehow that whole thing with the bakery refusing to make a cake for a gay couple had come up again and the "millienial" posted about how he was amazed that this was the hill so many "gammon", "boomers"...(or whatever I can't remember exactly)....chose to die on. I'd heard the phrase before, but it hit me that in the context of this "generation war" that's going on, it was very poetic and I grabbed me notebook and starting writing.... "

lyrics

This is the hill I chose to die on
This is where you'll find my grave
I was a man who folks could rely on
Quiet reserved with not much to say

Built a world that gave you freedom
Fought the battles and won the wars
Did all that so you wouldn't have to
So why the fuck would you ask me for more

The world is changing so fast without me
And people are much colder than before
Every day I see young folks shouting
But I don't know what they're so angry for

So this is the hill I chose to die on
Where I made my final stand
This is where I put my foot down
Where I drew my line in the sand

This is the hill I chose to die on
This is where you'll find my grave
I was a man who folks could rely on
Quiet reserved with not much to say

The world is changing so fast without me
And people are much colder than before
Every day I see young folks shouting
But I don't know what they're so angry for

So this is the hill I chose to die on
Where I made my final stand
This is where I put my foot down
Where I drew my line in the sand

So this is the hill I chose to die on
Where I made my final stand
This is where I put my foot down
Where I drew my line in the sand
