Why do we frown? |
|
Is it something within us |
|
Or in the world at large? |
|
Maybe it's both, y'all |
|
Sadness deep inside |
|
Something we can't hide |
|
We yearn for the past but it's not there |
|
And it makes me frown |
|
Yeah, it makes me frown |
|
You look at the news |
|
Always giving me the blues |
|
War, death and chaos |
|
All around me now |
|
And the media's controlled |
|
People do just what they're told |
|
Just want to stand up and yell, "Is anybody out there?" |
|
'Cause it makes me frown |
|
Yeah, it makes me frown |
|
It's hard to find hope |
|
But maybe we can learn to cope |
|
By listening to one another |
|
It's a trust thing |
|
'Cause I know that you have feared |
|
'Cause I know the end is near |
|
But just lend an ear |
|
And we can make it happen |
|
'Cause it makes me frown |
|
Makes everybody frown |
|
Oh, I know it can get hard |
|
When you look out your backyard |
|
See the ozone falling apart before you |
|
And recycling's a bitch |
|
I've got just one wish |
|
(That his children won't grow up in a freakin' trash can) |
|
A piano's all I got |
|
And I know that ain't a lot |
|
Music has the power |
|
To change the future |
|
So what do you think |
|
'Bout my message of hope? |
|
Better get with the program |
|
Before it's too late, y'all |
|
So if you wanna start right now |
|
You better take that fuckin' frown |
|
Better turn it upside down |
|
Just give in to love |
|
Yeah, give in to love |
|
Give it up for love |
|
Amen to love |
|
It's gotta be love |
|
Or it'll make you frown |
|
Ah, it makes us frown |
|
Ah, it makes me frown |
|
'Cause it makes me frown |
