Bright Ideas
Words & Music ©Michael Gregory Jackson

bright ideas, bright ideas, bright ideas, bright ideas,

you got some bright ideas now turn on the light,
give a view, take a chance, get in line,
you got some bright ideas now turn on the light,
give a view, take a chance, get in line,

what you feeling got to say sometime,
a world of nothing staying, going, moving,
staying, going, can keep you mighty down and out,

you got some bright ideas now hip me today,
give a view, take a chance, get in line,
you got some bright ideas now hip me today,
give a view, take a chance, get in line,

what is knowing when it ain't no use,
a world of nothing staying, going, moving,
staying, going, can keep you mighty down and out,

bright ideas, bright ideas, bright ideas, bright ideas,
bright ideas, bright ideas, bright ideas, bright ideas,

you got some bright ideas you ain't fooling me,
give a view, take a chance, get in line,
you got some bright ideas you ain't fooling me,
give a view, take a chance, get in line,

what you knowin' that you just can't say,
a world of nothing staying, going, moving,
staying, going, can keep you mighty down and out,

bright ideas, bright ideas, bright ideas, bright ideas,
bright ideas, bright ideas, bright ideas, bright ideas,
bright ideas, bright ideas, bright ideas, bright ideas...

Michael Gregory Jackson Los Angeles, California

"MGJ first made waves…in New York's loft-jazz scene of the 1970s… alongside such major innovators as Oliver Lake, David Murray, and Wadada Leo Smith, he quietly laid the groundwork for much of what we take for granted in the contemporary jazz-guitar vocabulary." National Sawdust NY
