LYRICS
Have you humans no self worth?
Living on a giant pile of filth
Just selfishness and greediness
Leads inevitably to worthlessness

Does the Pope poop in the woods
A bear Catholic… believing God is good
Can you see the trees through the forest
If one falls can it be heard by the rest

Have you humans all gone mad
Not even the lightest bit sad
Am I standing here all alone
Thinking it’s a shame to trash our own home?

LYRICS
Chorus
Today it rained then it poured
Today it reigned then it poored
It poured and poored some more

Well, if you’re riding the gravy train
And, you start to realize the gravy’s lumpy
Ya might just drive yourself insane
If ya don’t fertilize for the hungry

Chorus

Well, if you’re living and living without givin’
And, you start to appreciate “this is heaven!”
You might add spirit to your brain
Who knows? Ya might get to live again

The sun is shining in….

The sun is shining in
On the inside
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

The sun is shining in….

Now, a new life can begin
The sun is shining in
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

As the sun sets on society
We question
“Hey, didn’t we have plenty?”
Why the suffering
On the outside
There’s no place to run
There’s no placed to hide
On the outside

The sun is shining in
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

Come on join in
Come on join in
On the inside
The smile is twice as wide

The sun is shining in

Let the sun shine in
On the inside
As the sun is setting on the outside

How can you hoard
When you’re homeless
You’re never board with Earth
When Earth’s your nest

Trying to find the ends
To make ends meet
Thank God, Mother Nature lends

Shelter, drink and something to eat
That’s good… Mother Nature sends

Why do humans hoard
When they need less
Squirrel away for their rainy day
Creating a mess
For those with less
No measure of success
Comparing oneself to the homeless
No measure of success
Compared to worthless

Em / Am

Posted on by admin

As the scene
Washes clean
The line between mean
Seems to fade away

A separation
Of a state of mind
When mankind
Forgets being kind

Please don’t separate your state
From reality
Before it’s too late
Please don’t separate your state
From poverty
To where compassion has no fashion

Dm
play intro as broken chord notes G B F, G D F, A D F
