Lyrics
When the sun comes through my window
At the start of every day.
I ask myself do we deserve the gifts God sends our way?
The warmth that comes in summer,
The oceans oh so blue
Are still there waiting for us, it don?t matter what we do.
Yet we can?t stop fighting
And now the race is run
To see who?s still left standing when the battle is all done
And I said?
CHORUS
Oh, I don?t know
Why we?re starving all the teachers
But we still can fight our wars
And oh I don?t know?
I just hope that we can find a better way.
Now the fool we call our president
Is such a sick old man.
I?ld almost think he?s funny if the button wasn?t in his hand.
And just where will he lead us?
Oh the future don?t look bright
When we poison all the water and turn day right into night.
And I said?
CHORUS
So many different people
Just trying to get a hand.
But we never even seem to hear their cries.
And don?t you think it?s funny?
The way we live our lives.
So I?m laughing just to keep myself from crying
And I said?
CHORUS
