Lyrics
ON AND ON
VERSE 1&4
You think that you have problems
But you have a place to sleep
You work day in and day out
But have enough to eat
You get hot in the sumer
But in winter you have heat
You may have first-world problems
But your life is hard to beat
CHORUS
Seasons come and Seasons go and
People come and People go, there
isn't much that I know, but
I know that we must go
on and on and
on and on --
VERSE 2
I don't believe in heaven
I don't believe in hell
I don'tbelieve the stories
The righteous try to sell
I don't believe the words
are quite literal
They're a cautionary tale
A simple parable
CHORUS
VERSE 3
It's a sad day in May
When another bites the dust
Are we afraid to say
That it was a bust?
How about Detroit City?
All that's left is blood and rust
You may have first-world problems
Who is it that you trust?
CHORUS
