Arizona Singer-Songwriter Scott Helmer Revisits Anti-War Song as World Tensions Rise
Arizona singer-songwriter Scott Helmer revisits his 2025 anti-war song, "To Them We're All the Same (Acoustic)," as rising world tensions bring renewed relevance to its message of shared humanity.
Scott Helmer - To Them We're All the Same (Acoustic)
Original 2025 Monument Valley Performance Explores the Human Cost of War and Shared Humanity
TEMPE, Ariz., July 26, 2026 — As world tensions continue to rise, Arizona singer-songwriter and touring musician Scott Helmer is revisiting "To Them We're All the Same (Acoustic)," a live acoustic performance originally released on October 24, 2025, whose message of shared humanity has taken on renewed relevance.
Recorded live in Monument Valley, Utah, the solo acoustic performance features only voice and guitar, allowing the song's lyrics and message to take center stage against one of America's most iconic landscapes.
Written before today's escalating international tensions, "To Them We're All the Same" reflects on the human cost of war, political division, and the idea that ordinary people often have far more in common than those in positions of power would have them believe. Rather than aligning with any political party or ideology, the song encourages listeners to think independently, question assumptions, and recognize our shared humanity beyond borders, politics, and conflict.
Originally released on October 24, 2025, "To Them We're All the Same (Acoustic)" can be viewed on YouTube at @thescotthelmer or on Scott Helmer's website, where fans can purchase the official recording and video directly.

Lyrics — “To Them We’re All the Same”
Written by Scott Helmer
I walk down a lonely road
Had to leave old friends behind
’Cause I
Spoke out against the left
And I spoke out against the right
No one sees both sides are the same
No one sees that we’re all being played
We get all the rights we need
Before we get our names
And they take your life
And they take your love
And they take your gun
And they take your son
And ship ’em off to fight another war
Built on lies that serve those whores
That keep us all in chains
Red, black, and white, yellow or brown — have you heard?
To them we’re all the same
A young man said the ones to blame
Reside in D.C.
But all those fools
Are puppets on a string
For the ones that we don’t see
Laws of the land
That always change
Can’t rise above
What God gave
We get all the rights we need
Before we get our names
And they take your life
And they take your love
And they take your gun
And they take your son
And ship ’em off to fight another war
Built on lies that serve those whores
That keep us all in chains
Red, black, and white, yellow or brown — have you heard?
To them we’re all the same
To them we’re all just slaves
To them we’re all just
Here to get by
And drink to survive
And work ’til we die
And don’t ask why
Here to get by
And work ’til we die
And don’t ask why
I walk down a lonely road
Had to leave everyone behind
Then I
Saw an old friend in town
And we stopped and we talked for awhile
He said
Now I see both sides are the same
Now I see that we’re all being played
We get all the rights we need
Before we get our names
And they take your life
And they take your love
And they take your gun
And they take your son
And ship ’em off to fight another war
Built on lies that serve those whores
That keep us all in chains
Red, black, and white, yellow or brown — have you heard?
Red, black, and white, yellow or brown — have you heard?
Oh, red, black, and white, yellow or brown
We all bleed red so don’t lie down
Get off of your knees
And stand up proud today
To them we’re all just
Here to get by
And drink to survive
And work ’til we die
And don’t ask why
Here to get by
And drink to survive
And work ’til we die
And don’t ask why
Here to get by
Stay stoned to survive
And work ’til we die
And don’t ask why
To them we’re all the same

Scott Helmer Releases "Go Go Go"
Arizona singer-songwriter Scott Helmer releases "Go Go Go," a new single inspired by a relationship shaped by love, distance and life's difficult timing, featuring Scott Helmer on vocals and most instruments with Rich Helmer on electric guitar and bass.
New Single Reflects on Love, Loss and How Things Could Have Been
TEMPE, Ariz., December 15, 2024 — Arizona singer-songwriter and touring musician Scott Helmer today released "Go Go Go," a new single available for purchase directly at his website.
Written by Scott Helmer, "Go Go Go" was inspired by a woman he loved deeply. As Helmer pursued a full-time career touring and performing across the country, the two struggled to reconcile their lives despite their connection. Over time, they drifted apart, not because the love had disappeared, but because they could never seem to make their lives fit together.
After learning of her unexpected passing, Helmer wrote the song as a reflection on love, regret and the hope that one simple request — "come home" — might have changed everything.
The recording features Scott Helmer on lead vocals, background vocals, acoustic guitar, drums, and percussion, with Rich Helmer performing electric guitar and bass.
The song was mixed and mastered by Chris Theis. Photography was provided by Rich Helmer.

LYRICS — "Go Go Go"
Written by Scott Helmer
You're runnin' through my mind
Every night and day
What have we done?
How did it end?
What didn't I say?
There's so much empty space
In this bed for two
What have you done?
I can't live a life without you
Ooh, what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna go, go, go
I drive all night I can make it to you
Gonna go, go, go
If you've got plans then break 'em, babe
I'm gonna go, go, go
My broken heart is aching
I'm not the kind to walk away
And all I needed you to say
Is baby, just go
What I wouldn't give
To hear your voice again
Get lost in your eyes
Kiss your lips
Fall asleep with my friend
Can't we just go back
And start all brand new
And build the life we planned?
Quiet, sweet and true
Ooh, what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna go, go, go
I drive all night I can make it to you
Gonna go, go, go
If you've got plans then break 'em, babe
I'm gonna go, go, go
My broken heart is aching
I'm not the kind to walk away
And all I needed you to say
Is baby, just go
Is baby, just go
I'm gonna go, go, go
I drive all night I can make it to you
Gonna go, go, go
If you've got plans then break 'em, babe
I'm gonna go, go, go
My broken heart
My broken heart is aching
My broken heart is aching
I'll see you when I get home
I'll see you when I get home

LYRICS — "I’LL SEE YOU AGAIN"
Written by Scott Helmer
I step inside
This empty house
Here's what I hear and see
Familiar voices
Are crying out loud
But they make no sense to me
Then I came around
The corner to find
You lying there
And me out of my mind
Remembering there's nothing we could do
But help you peacefully sleep that night
This is not the end my friend
I know I'll see you again
Up the road
Around the bend
This is not the end my friend
I'll see you again
I look inside
This empty heart
Here's what I feel and need
You by my side
With my guitar
Working on stories and dreams
Then I'd hit the road
To do what I do
Sing my songs
But I know you knew
You're my best friend
And will always be
More than a boy and his dog
And memories
This is not the end my friend
I know I'll see you again
Up the road
Around the bend
This is not the end my friend
I'll see you again
And like a shot in the dark
You took my breath away
Now you're gone
But this hole in my heart remains
This is not the end my friend
I know I'll see you again
Up the road
Around the bend
This is not the end my friend
I'll see you again
This is not the end my friend
I know I'll see you again
Up the road
Around the bend
This is not the end my friend
I'll see you again
I step inside
This empty house
Here's what I hear and see

LYRICS — "Have Guitar Will Travel"
Written by Scott Helmer
Have you ever been lost in space
Like you wanna give up on the human race
Since when does two and two not make four
Since when do daddies send their little girls to war
When the whole world unravels
You gotta know how to pick your battles
I cinch up my saddle
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel
Moms and dads now keep score
And both have to work for the room and the board
Kids are the ones that get left behind
Raised by the state
The next slaves to the grind
When the whole world unravels
You gotta know how to pick your battles
I cinch up my saddle
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel
Don't let your light go out
Don't let hope die in you
If you don't love where you're at
Pick up your feet and move
So if you're feelin' like you're lost in space
Don't throw in the towel on the human race
We all know two and two is four
And dads don't send their daughters to war
When the whole world unravels
You gotta know how to pick your battles
I cinch up my saddle
When the whole world unravels
Don't lose the war before the battle
I cinch up my saddle
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel (have guitar will travel)
Have guitar will travel (have guitar will travel)
Have guitar will travel (have guitar will travel)
Have guitar will travel

LYRICS — "Shouting It Out Loud"
Music by Rich Helmer
Lyrics by Scott Helmer
I never thought
I'd see the day
When devils take over
And have their way
Innocence lost
Is never found
So this ends here
This ends now
Should never let your poison
Hit their veins
We are the world, alive, awake
And we are here to say
This is not sane
This is not right
Leave the children alone
They are God's light
You crossed the line
We won't back down
We know the truth
And we're shouting it out loud
Some took your shots
And mask of shame
Praying it all would go away
But you won't stop
They see it now
This is what
We always warned about
Never let your poison
Hit their veins
We are the world, alive, awake
And we stand up and say
This is not sane
This is not right
Leave the children alone
They are God's light
You crossed the line
We won't back down
We know the truth
And we're shouting it out loud
The world at war
Is what you need
We won't take the bait
Truth sets us free
This is not sane
This is not right
Leave the children alone
They are God's light
You crossed the line
We won't back down
We know the truth
And we're shouting it out loud
This is not sane
This is not right
Leave the children alone
They are God's light
You crossed the line
We won't back down
We know the truth
And we're shouting it out loud
We know the truth
And we're shouting it out loud
We know the truth
And we're shouting it out loud
Shouting it out loud
We know the truth
And we're shouting it out loud
