lyrics

Angry World
Look how Venus shines tonight
Under a Cheshire cat moon smilin’
So bright and clear
As though to bring good cheer
And isn’t that Jupiter
Three hundred sixty five million miles
Away from here
Far from the darkness down here
And I’ve been pondering
How much I care for you
And all the ridiculous
Friends I truly love, hey
Come outside and play
Break away from the cable news
Seems everybody is already mad enough
Oh, we’re livin’ in an angry world
Oh, we’re livin’ and dying in an angry world
I’m pokin’ the embers, stokin’ the flame
Wavin’ a cardboard fan
At your backyard fire pit
Smoke is stingin’ my eyes a bit
Better than shakin’ some billionaire's money tree
Starin’ at a screen and screaming at it
I’m so over it
Isn’t it it high time we quit it
There is no glory
In all of your outrage
There is no virtue
In any of my contempt
In the game of animosity we all win plastic trophies
Nobody is exempt
Oh, we’re livin’ in an angry world
Oh, we’re livin’ and dyin’ in an angry world
It takes a brave mind
To reconsider what you thought you knew
It takes keen eye
To see another man’s point of view
It takes a lot more diligence
To grow a garden outa rocky ground
It takes a lot more courage
To lay your weapon down
Hey, that’s enough for today
Come outside
