Lyrics
Solutions
Every step through stench filled alleys
Respite from the cold in the concrete valleys
Four more years to sweep it all under
You may pray for solutions but I?m starting to wonder
Logic turns to folly, folly to fact
While he turns to face the camera well to them he turns his back
He poses right, wide eyes that seem to care
And we look for solutions but there are still aren?t any there
Where?s the progress? What?s there to show?
It might make great copy but, what I want to know is
Where are the leaders? And where are their voices?
As they cower and hide behind clever non-choices
I want to believe and I want to trust
But I don?t think we?re doing the things that we must
I can tell you, I can tell you that four more years to sweep it all under?
You may pray for solutions but I?m starting to wonder
I want to believe and I want to trust (Are we doing what we must)
I want to believe and I want to trust (There?s no way we?re doing enough)
I want to believe and I want to trust (You can change it if you want to)
