Lyrics
THE SADNESS OF IT ALL
F.G. MACPHERSON
WERE MAKING THEM
YA YOU AND ME
WERE TURNING UP THE PRESSURE
SAY IT'S FOR THEM
WE HAVE EM ORGANIZED
WE GOT A TOP AND A BOTTOM
YOU JUST BETTER HOPE, YOU'RE NOT ON THE BOTTOM
OH SHOTS FIRED, OH CHILDREN SCREAMING, WELL EVERYBOBY RUNNING AND I'M SITTIN HERE THINKING ABOUT THE SADNESS OF IT ALL, THE SADNESS OF IT ALL, YA the SADNESS OF IT ALL
WE SIT AND WATCH, THE CLIPS GO BY
ITS HARD TO IMAGINE, ALL THOSES CHILDREN DYING
SEE A YOUNG MAN, COULD BE ME OR YOU
WE JUST SHAKE OUR HEAD JUST CAN'T BELIEVE.
OH SHOTS FIRED, OH CHILDREN SCREAMING, WELL EVERYBOBY RUNNING AND I'M SITTIN HERE THINKING ABOUT THE SADNESS OF IT ALL, THE SADNESS OF IT ALL, YA the SADNESS OF IT ALL
THE MAN ON THE EVENING NEW GONNA ANALIZE THIS TO DEATH WHILE WE LAY IN OUR BEDS, TRYING TO CATCH OUR BREATH
SO WHO'S to blame, IF NOT YOU AND ME
WE BUILT THIS PLACE, IN GOD WE TRUST
WE JUST SHAKE OUR HEADS, AND WONDER WHY
AS THEY LOAD THEIR GUNS Oh GETTING READY TO FIRE.
OH SHOTS FIRED, OH CHILDREN SCREAMING, WELL EVERYBOBY RUNNING AND I'M SITTIN HERE THINKING ABOUT THE SADNESS OF IT ALL, THE SADNESS OF IT ALL, YA the SADNESS OF IT ALL
