Write A Song About It

I looked out the window
It was the same as yesterday
I had a feeling
It was the same as yesterday
The news doesn’t cheer me up, and the wind is turning cold
It looks like some more good men, are going to fold
Our faith is leaving us and no-one seems to care
Belief is rationed now; it’s a meagre fare
And what are we gonna do about it?
I’m gonna write a song about it tomorrow
And what are we gonna do about it?
I’m gonna write a song about it
Tomorrow

I played guitar all night
Just the same as yesterday
I turned up the amp real loud
But no-one came (to say 'turn that down!')
Things have got tough around here and the rain may never stop
All the fishing’s gone to hell; so has the crop
The town’s full of strangers, I don’t recognise the place
All our friends have moved away; I guess we missed the race
And what are we gonna do about it?
I’m gonna write a song about it tomorrow

I took a drive around town
The same as yesterday
Had way too much to drink last night
Just the same as today
I’m not getting older, just colder in the heart
I'm not getting wiser anymore, I just don’t take part
The world is changing and there's not much space for me
I could build a rocketship, maybe that’s the place to be
And what am I gonna do about it?
I’m gonna write a song about it tomorrow

Buzzing strangers into the building is a dangerous pastime. Letting them back out again is kind. Buzzing Strangers came from elsewhere after hearing distorted rock music drifting across the stellar distances. They visited, stayed, and thought it was the best way to communicate... ... more
