My Songs

These Days

Verse 1

Too much water out east,

Not enough in the midwest,

Ignoring the problems,

That's what we do best,

Too busy tooting our own horn,

To care about what happens to the unborn,

The bad things we create,

Will effect them the most,

We need to learn to be peaceful,

Coast to coast

Chorus

People only want to help when there's something in it for them,

Where are all the folks that stay through thick and thin,

Not helping people just out of the goodness of our hearts,

That 's what is tearing this world apart,

Cheating and backstabbing,

Looking over your shoulder,

So many enemies,

And what for?

We all have to live here together,

Why can't we get along?

We have a short ride in this life,

We need to find where we belong,

What do you stand for?

What do you believe in?

Would you stick with your crowd,

Through thick and thin?

Verse 2

All of those rich guys livin' it up out West,

In their hilltop mansions,

Every other day buyin'  Bugattis,

Wreckin' maseratis,

Just for fun,

Raking in the millions,

Weighing in a ton,

Vacation homes stacking up,

Way over half full, the cup,

You'd think they'd cut,

Cut back on the billions,

It'd help millions,

Only if they knew,

What the common folk go through,

Chorus

People only want to help when there's something in it for them,

Where are all the folks that stay through thick and thin,

Not helping people just out of the goodness of our hearts,

That 's what is tearing this world apart,

Cheating and Backstabbing,

Looking over your shoulder,

So many enemies,

And what for?

We all have to live here together,

Why can't we get along?

We have a short ride in this life,

We need to find where we belong,

What do you stand for?

What do you believe in?

Would you stick with your crowd,

Through thick and thin?

Bridge

Decisions to make,

It's time to make or brake,

What bills need to be paid,

Cabiniets are running dry,

Swearing to eachother we'll be just fine,

In the back of our minds,

Not knowing the truth,

What tomorrow may hold,

What things could unfold,

Chorus

People only want to help when there's something in it for them,

Where are all the folks that stay through thick and thin,

Not helping people just out of the goodness of our hearts,

That 's what is tearing this world apart,

Cheating and Backstabbing,

Looking over your shoulder,

So many enemies,

And what for?

We all have to live here together,

Why can't we get along?

We have a short ride in this life,

We need to find where we belong,

What do you stand for?

What do you believe in?

Would you stick with your crowd,

Through thick and thin?
