Living in Interesting Times (Original song)

Here's a song I wrote. It's an alternative folk song about living in this day and age. I hope you enjoy it.



Lyrics:

On the road there's a hiding place
That brings me back to outer space
And says to me win another race
And I pray to God give me a happy face

On the sea there's a leaky ship
That snaps the waves just like a whip
I hold my loved ones to my hip
And I pray to God we don't take a dip

The man on the TV says to me
We are living in interesting times
I don't know what the hell that means
That phrase to me isn't worth a dime

There's a bird up in the air
Who flies along without a care
She sings a song that sounds quite rare
A sound quite beautiful to be fair

There's a fox down on the ground
Who hunts the bird without a sound
He'll get the bird if she can be found
But he better watch out for the righteous hound

The man on the TV says to me
We are living in interesting times
It doesn't mean that much to me
That phrase to me isn't worth a dime

There's a storm up in the sky
A sight so ugly you want to cry
Makes you hope that you don't die
But you'll make it through if you try

There's a rainbow far away
We'll try to get there any way
Without a doubt there are dues we will pay
But we'll wait till tomorrow, it's a new day

The man on the TV says to me
We are living in interesting times
I don't know what the hell that means
That phrase to me isn't worth a dime
