A song about the young soldiers in the middle east who have lost their lives and are still over there fighting (There's probably a few songs about it, but it'd be nice to here Gord to do one)

Perhaps a song about how life today is: the price of living keeps rising, crime rates are going up, gas prices keep skyrocketing, man is getting greedier, and the world is steadily becoming a lesser and lesser pleasant place to live (This world and this country has seen darker times before, like the Great Depression, so I'm sure things now could and probably will get better, so it's not like we're doomed)

When he does decide to retire, he could write a song about it. I had actually thought that the song 'A Painter' was a sign of his retirement (at least from songwriting).
