The Way It Was

Lyrics by Brieve Morison

I wish the sun would make a break for it
From the prison of the clouds
It’s been there for billions of years…and it
Should a’ worked it out by now

It’s heating up wars everywhere
Land and causes are a plenty
Why can’t we just share
Why are our hearts so empty

Our hearts should be full of righteous anger
For those fools who hold the power
The clock’s hands have changed their angle
It’s one minute to the midnight hour

We should care for this place and its people
We have nowhere to run to
But you will hear from your own people
The plans we have in mind for you

We’ll take you down a peg or two
Until you feel just like us
Then we shall surely deal with you
And you will not call on god above

There’ll surely be a reckoning
We shall vanquish all our foes
The way it was isn’t how it’s gonna be
You shall fail it’s the way it goes
